Kiddywinkles Huapai

Welcome to Kiddywinkles Huapai, located at 53 Station Road in Huapai, New Zealand. Our institution is an establishment, point of interest, and school that is built with creativity, learning, and collaboration in mind.

At Kiddywinkles, we provide a beautiful and fun environment where your child's confident, curious, and creative mind is nurtured with the same devotion and care that they receive at home. Our passionate educators facilitate a space where children feel safe to play, explore, be curious, and discover their own sense of self while learning alongside their peers and teachers.

We offer age-appropriate opportunities for children to play and learn alongside others in their own age group, with rooms catering to infants through to six-year-olds. Our childcare centers in Westgate and Huapai are private, safe, and purpose-built, keeping discovery, fun, and creative freedom at the forefront of every day. We understand that development happens in various ways, so while learning is self-directed, we provide specially designed indoor and outdoor spaces that stretch imaginations and challenge creative thinking.

Kiddywinkles prides itself on being culturally diverse, inclusive, and welcoming. We nurture a true sense of belonging for all families who become part of our center's community. We embrace and explore cultural identities, with approximately 15 countries represented across our children and teachers. Our curriculum incorporates both English and Te Ao Māori teaching.

Above all else, Kiddywinkles is a place where you and your child will be greeted by name, where you can feel confident that your child will thrive, and where we celebrate milestones, big and small. Your child will feel at home from the moment they come through the gate.

We understand that life can be busy, so we have designed our operating hours to better suit the demands of modern family living. We are open from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, all year round (except for public holidays). We offer full days, half days, and school-hour days to accommodate your schedule and preferences.

Say goodbye to morning food prep rush! We provide healthy meals prepared on-site, included in your fees for sessions longer than 4 hours. Our fees are dependent on age, and we are a provider of 20 hours free ECE for children aged 3-5 years.

Choosing the right center for your child is an important decision, and at Kiddywinkles, we invite you to come in and discover what makes us so special. Don't just take our word for it, hear what our parents have to say:

"My daughter moved from another daycare facility to Kiddywinkles, and I have never been to such an amazing, caring childcare center. You feel like family when you walk in."

"We moved to Westgate in October 2020 and were really worried about our then 2-year-old son adjusting to this change. Thanks to the teachers and Allen at Kiddywinkles, enrolling our son here was one of the best decisions we made."

"Leaving your baby to return to work is never easy, but I felt totally at ease each day leaving her with Kiddywinkles. Couldn't recommend enough."

"Kiddywinkles has been so welcoming and accommodating to our little family. They welcomed us with open arms and continue to do so every morning."
