Kindercare Spreydon

Kia Ora,

I am delighted to welcome you to Kindercare Spreydon, where we prioritise building strong parent-partnerships and creating a loving home away from home environment for your whānau. We value mnaaki mana and reciprocal relationships with both you and your child, and we desire to provide a nurturing environment filled with kindness, generosity, care and respect.

We believe in the importance of play in children’s learning and we offer nature play, heuristic, and open-ended experiences; we embrace each child’s uniqueness and affirm that they can be powerful creators of their own learning journey. We are also intentional about fostering their positive self-esteem, social and emotional development, and self-confidence. We believe providing creative and unhurried experiential opportunities that align with their interests, it encourages a love for learning within tamariki.

Our team values aroha, ako, humour, pono or sincerety, and learning. We invite you and your family to visit our daycare centre at any time. Meet our team and experience the Kindercare difference. We know you’ll love it here!

Ngā manaakitanga,
Leonie Wellesley

Why Choose Our Centre

Simply put, it’s because we offer outstanding early childhood care and learning. But here are a few other great reasons:

• Our team are established in their experience with ongoing professional development to stay current in their teaching practices.
• Our operational hours allows us to provide flexible options to suit your family’s needs, with full-time and part-time care.
• We’re located very close to Christchurch CBD, on an easy bike pathway and we’re on an arterial route making it easy for drop-offs and pick-ups.
• We’re big on providing parents with the support you may need in these early parenting years, including practical tools to foster resilience and positive behaviour.
• Kai is included. We provide high-quality plant-based whole-food meals for tamariki—all cooked on-site and prepared with love.
• We offer a generous leave policy because we understand the unpredictability of children’s absences.
• We desire to work in partnership with whānau, because we believe families who contribute actively to their child’s learning goals, will deeply enrich their preschool years.

About Our Care

Childcare at our centre is designed to meet whānau aspirations and the needs of each child, with age-appropriate activities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers throughout their day. With three classrooms catering to different age groups, we ensure that every child’s unique needs and interests are met.

We pride ourselves on our holistic transition to school program, setting up children for success in their pathway to kura. We also understand the importance of fostering a love of learning from a young age so our curriculum revolves around play-based learning, recognising that play is a child’s work. Through engaging activities and experiences, we build a strong foundation of skills that will benefit your child not only during their time with us but also in their future education.

Kindercare Spreydon has been providing safe, loving care and learning since 2004. We cherish every child as unique and precious, and it is our privilege to partner with you in supporting their learning and development. From sensory-rich environments for babies to exciting discoveries in our toddlers room and the development of friendships and resilience in our preschool program, our dedicated team is committed to providing a second-mile service in keeping your child safe, loved and learning. Our relaxed environment offer plenty of variety and opportunities for play, ensuring that your child has fun while growing and learning.

We understand that families have different childcare needs, and we would love to discuss them with you. This enables us to provide a tailored approach to your child’s care, learning and fees, to support their growth.

We are conveniently located for families in Spreydon, Sydenham, Beckenham, Somerfield, and Waltham. And we look forward to supporting you and your child on their incredible journey with us through these early years.
