Cuddles Early Learning Centre
About the Business
Welcome to Cuddles Early Learning Centre, located at 12 Greendale Avenue in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our centre is dedicated to providing a nurturing and educational environment for children.
At Cuddles, we understand the importance of catering to the specific needs of each age group. Our Nestle room is designed for our youngest pepi (babies) to explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. In this safe space, they develop relationships with our caring kaiako (teachers) and other tamariki (children).
For children aged 2 to 3.5 years old, we have the Snuggles classroom. Here, they are encouraged to develop their sense of self and belonging as they start to explore and inquire about the world. Our dedicated teachers guide them in their learning journey, fostering curiosity and a love for discovery.
At Cuddles, we also provide a program for our oldest tamariki, helping them develop self-help skills and emotional regulation. This prepares them for their transition to school, ensuring they are well-equipped for the next chapter of their education.
We understand that choosing the right early learning centre for your child is a significant decision. That's why we invite you to visit us and see our facilities for yourself. Our friendly team will be more than happy to explain everything and answer any questions you may have. You can book a visit by phone or complete our online enquiry form located below, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
At Cuddles Early Learning Centre, we are committed to providing a loving and enriching environment where your child can thrive. Join our community and let us be a part of your child's early learning journey.

Reviews
"A wonderful preschool. The teachers are lovely, caring and kind, and it is a fantastic environment to learn and play. We love that it is a smaller and more focussed preschool, and our daughter is thriving there."
"I find Jun in snuggles room is ready nice to dealing with. She ready kind look after our children. Really friendly. Highly recommended !"
"Wow, it's amazing to see what is possible when great design, facilities, vision and high quality, well qualified and energetic staff all come together for the children's benefit. I love to see our grandchild keenly running down the corridor into the big room every morning, and the warmth of greetings received not only for him, but for us as caregivers as well. The staff to child ratio is great, so every child is valued as an individual and is most carefully supervised all day, wherever in the facility they are. The amazing new building, grounds and equipment make the task of supervision easier for the staff. For example, all parts of the outdoor area are visible from the inside (although I have never seen children being allowed outside without a teacher being with them). All outdoor areas are not only interesting, delightful and safe, but completely covered with artificial grass, off an expansive deck. So nice to have never been greeted at the end of the day with "xxxxx bumped his head today, we don't know what happened, but you need to sign this form...." Even having a proper off street parking area is wonderful thing I'm sure most Avonhead parents will appreciate! There is a detailed curriculum plan and detailed reports on where each individual child is at (eg literacy). Everything is carefully planned (even the daily meal menus, which our grandson certainly enjoys!). We are amazed at the depth of reporting received on a regular basis. Our child received a detailed report (with photos) at the end of his first week, which was amazing. Even at that stage it was obvious that his teacher knew him extremely well, and by then our grandson already counted his teachers (Melissa and Mikayla and Winnie) among his friends. We so appreciate the time and effort made to produce these regular progress reports. Our child was being toilet trained at the time of starting, and without any prompting from us they constructed a reward chart and kept us informed each day of how things were going. This is the sort of individual care and attention that makes a difference. The owner (Winnie) is an expert in what she does, and there are no issues about drop-off or collection times, which gives us the realistic flexibility every family needs. She is very accommodating, competent and nothing is a problem. Changing pre schools was in no way disruptive, and every day we can see that moving our child to Cuddles was a positive move."
"We have struggled to find the first preschool for our son. And we couldn’t be happier with our choice to enroll him in Cudddles. William love time spent at Cuddles. We really appreciate the support, dedication and passion the team have shown since we starting. They truly care and provide a wonderful environment for my boy to grow and develop. Thank you for making it a home away from home for all the kids!!! Love Cuddles team"
"Cuddles is the best place for any child! The team are amazing and friendly and the environment is so welcoming. The teachers are very professional and knowledgeable, can't recommend this place enough."
