Kia ora koutou! Looking for a special place for your little one here in Wellington's south-east peninsula? Let me show you around our boutique centre and see what Tuatara Kids is all about here!
Think of us as a home away from home, a place where your child is truly seen, supported, and celebrated for the wonderful little person they are. We are more than just a place of care and early education, this is a warm and bustling little community for the whole whānau, where our relationships shine bright and everyone knows and looks out for each other.
We can't wait to welcome you and your whānau with open arms, so pop in and say hello to your child’s favourite teachers here. Nau mai, haere mai!
“Our little ones currently attend Tuatara Kids, and we can't speak highly enough of this wonderful centre. Our eldest has experienced four different childcare centres (due to us moving countries), and Tuatara Kids is, without a doubt, the best we've encountered…We feel so lucky to have connected with so many wonderful families at Tuatara Kids. We’re hopeful that the friendships our children are forming with their peers - and the connections we’re building with other parents - will last for years to come. If you're looking for a daycare, we can't recommend Tuatara Kids highly enough!”

“My daughter has been at Tuatara from 10 months old and one and a half years on we still believe that Tuatara is the best daycare for our daughter and we would be hard-pressed to move... Overall, our experience with Tuatara Kids has been exceptional, and we are grateful for the care and nurturing support they provide and the beautiful community we have with the other parents where we support and celebrate outside of daycare too”

“The kaiako are all incredible; teaching, guiding and caring for all the tamariki, and creating such a safe, special and warm environment. Tuatara Kids feels like an extension of our whānau and I feel so grateful to have such an amazing centre to send my daughter too. We’ve also made great connections with other Tuatara whānau and it feels like our very own village. We love Tuatara Kids so much!’
