Lollipops Petone
About the Business
Welcome to Lollipops Petone, an idyllic establishment located on the stunning Petone beachfront in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. As a point of interest and school, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care and education in a stimulating and inspiring setting.
One of our standout features is our expansive outdoor environment, which is one of the largest in the Hutt Valley. This allows children to have plenty of space for action, adventure, and exploration. Our passionate and dedicated team has created a nurturing and engaging space where children are encouraged to be curious, independent, and confident.
We take pride in our excellent teacher ratios, great educational resources, and well-thought-out curriculum, ensuring that your child receives the best possible start in life. Our goal is to foster a love for learning and provide a supportive environment for their overall development.
Don't just take our word for it, hear what our parents have to say! Many have noticed their children forming strong friendships and becoming more excited about seeing their friends. Our teachers go the extra mile to make each child feel welcomed and settled, creating a positive and proactive atmosphere.
Transitioning from the Tui Room to the Kakapo Room has been an amazing experience for many children and parents alike. Our teachers provide incredible support, helping children adapt and thrive as they embrace new challenges and opportunities.
We also take pride in our nutritious and delicious meals, lovingly prepared by our talented cook Ela. Many parents have been pleasantly surprised by their child's newfound love for healthy food, and appreciate the variety of options we offer.
We understand that leaving your child in someone else's care can be a daunting experience. That's why we have developed comprehensive induction and settling procedures to ensure that both you and your baby feel safe, cared for, and happy. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff are always on hand to address any concerns or questions you may have.
At Lollipops Petone, we strive to provide a secure, clean, and welcoming environment for your child. Our facilities are top-notch, and we uphold strong values of respect, inclusivity, and kindness.
Effective from 1 April 2023, more people will be eligible for subsidy, and the hourly subsidy rates will increase. This is just one example of how we continuously strive to improve and provide better opportunities for families.
We believe in the power of collaboration, and with the help of our dedicated parents, we have created an amazing mud kitchen for the kids to enjoy. It's just one of the many ways we foster creativity, imagination, and hands-on learning.
We are proud to say that Lollipops Petone is an amazing place to leave your child. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such caring and dedicated staff who prioritize the well-being and development of each child.

Reviews
"Lollipops Petone has been amazing. The centre is well resourced and provides wonderful indoor and outdoor environments. But, the best thing about about Lollipos is the teachers. Kind, energetic, helpful - they engage my boys in all sorts of wonderful, fun and educational activities. They know, and understand, each child and are always able to give you a rundown on your child's day. I'm always impressed and can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my boys. Love this centre!"
"We have had a great experience with Lollipops, both of our kids are there since they are little and they love it. The outdoor area for 3-5 years old is amazing and they always encourage them to play outside even if it's raining and they do lots of painting activities; we get heaps of stories and photos through Story Park! and learning reports. I really like that they use Maori words and songs, so the kids can learn another lenguage. It gives me peace of mind to know that they will call me if there is any accident and give me a report of what happened at the end of the day."
"Very kind and motivated teachers. They do offer the kids constantly different activities and encourage them to learn or improve certain skills. We also like that the staff turnover is relatively low compared to other childcare centres. Our kids love it and are happy every morning we bring them."
"My Daughter like lollipops. She like to play with her friends and toys. The teachers understand the needs of my daughter . My other children also went to the same lollipops. They love it."
"Useless day care! My niece came home covered in bite marks. The day care only told the mum about it when the mum had to ask herself. But they said baby only had one bite mark. Not till bubba was bathed did her mom discover multiple bite marks on her abdomen, legs and arms. They were deep enough to leave red marks and slight bruises. So they didn't even examine her or ask if she was sore anywhere else. When the day care was confronted the next day, they made excuses and said they will have a meeting amongst themselves but will not disclose which child bit my niece. We found out ourselves that it was a younger boy, who according to them has behavioral issues. Not the boys fault at all!!!! You guys should be keeping an eye on the kids more closely! Fair enough there's other kids, but for a kid to have the time to leave MULTIPLE bite marks that would've been very painful, leaves one to question whether they frequently keep an eye on our kids. And considering my niece is one years old is pretty slack care!!!! Don't send your wee ones here unless you want useless carers who can't even care for our kids properly."
