Day Cares in Lower Hutt, New Zealand

Karori Childcare centre are fantastic and are the cheapest option in Karori. My son loves it there.

Childspace Karori is great but not cheap!

Fully agree with those recommending Karori Childcare Centre. My daughter started there when she was 9 mths and they are amazing.

St Marys ECE is great

Karori Childcare Centre is great! They have a Facebook page you can check out (sorry dont know how to tag the page) and fees are on the website. Our daughter loves it there!

Kindercare Karori is amazing and take from birth! Highly recommend! Great teachers and the outside area is just awesome!

Childspace Karori is fabulous for that age group. From 3 years old onwards I would really recommend Montessori. Hope that helps ☺

PORSE In-Home Childcare is a great option for families wanting small groups care, and especially for little ones. Call PORSE on phone 04 801 6814 or www.porse.co.nz to see if this could be an option for you.

Karori Childcare Centre (KCC) on Beauchamp Street.

St Mary's early childhood education is great. Both our children stayed at 10 months old. Great staff and food included.

Northland Community Preschool. On Mairangi Road so a bit further away but flexible part options. Child led play and learning but with trained teachers.

My elder daughter is finishing at Campbell Kindergarten and it has been the most wonderful experience. The teachers are professional, experienced and just lovely. Big focus on playing and kids challenging themselves but in a very safe and nurturing environment. Mat time at end of day. A welcoming and happy community for kids and parents. Highly recommend!

I should say that, for anyone with the same question both the Wilton Montessori centre and childspace are amazing, just out of our price range

I have 2 kids and we've been to both Campbell Kindy and Karori Kindy. Both are absolutely amazing, and I would't hesitate to recommend them. They are pretty relaxed kindys. It's mostly free play with a rolling morning tea (spread over roughly 30 mins - 1 hour so the kids can eat at their leisure [within reason]). The 3 year olds have a short mat time (like 10 minutes) at the end, so I wouldn't classify either as being that structured. The 4 yr olds have longer mat time (30 mins I think) partly to get them used to school. Sunshine has a great rep too, so I think you'd be happy with any of the Karori Kindys. Generally people choose one based on the location and days. It's quite nice for the kids to go to kindy with the kids that will go to their school, so often kids from Sunshine feed into Karori West, and Campbell kindy and Karori Kindy feed into Karori Normal. That's not to say that happens for all kids, as people move etc, or go to other schools, days don't always suit etc.

Karori Kids!!

Karori Kids - just as Rachel Coughey and Bryce McClure have posted.

Rachel Macdonald - my wife Karin Schofield is the Chair at Karori Kids and Allison Collinson-Smith is the head teacher there. Happy to chat to you myself or put you in touch.

I'd second Damion's comments about St Mary's. The new Head Teacher has made some significant improvements and it's a really family focused centre with lots of play going on. You can do part-time hours there, I think it's a minimum of two days a week. http://www.stmaryschildcare.org.nz/

Piccolini Private Kindergarten in Greenmeadows offers the flexibility of daycare with the education and group learning of kindergarten. Some great intro offers at the moment.

Edukids Taradale in Peddie Street has a great reputation for both excellence in care and education. Fully qualified teachers run a Be School Ready Programme for children and have great relationships and support for transitions to local Primary Schools.You can find further information about the centre on their website http://www.kidicorp.co.nz/.../centres/edukids-taradale.aspx

Taradale Kindergarten is an awesome option if their hours suit your needs. Well established teaching team, supportive and inclusive community and lots of fun!

Go visit places and get a feel and also talk to the teachers and other families. Also check their Education Review Office reports to see what they say from an external source http://www.ero.govt.nz/Early-Childhood-School-Reports Don't forget home based ECE is also an option smile emoticon

My 4 year old is with www.atahome.co.nz his educator is fantastic flexible hours that suit my work hours. He gets a lot of one on one time and is learning so much that will ensure he is school ready. I even get fantastic weekly stories that show me exa ctly what he is learning. They also ensure he has outings with other children, nature play, play group and music group which he absolutely loves and I love all of this as he is thriving in his environment

Try Driving Miss Daisy. Iv used them often with my kids to get from school to after school activities when Im at work. Cost depends on distance etc.

have a look on trademe https://trademe.co.nz/1337355541

Campbell Kindy! Free! (Well a very small amount)

Kindercare Karori is fantastic. I have had one girl go through from 2 to 5 years and loved it, her little sister has been there now since she was 6 months old and loves going.

Can't recommend Karori Childcare Centre enough (KCC). Lovely small centre with a great teaching team. I asked a similar question earlier this year, you could search my name and it should come up - lots of recommendations there too

Have a look at Karori Playcentre - you can go with both your children in an extended family atmosphere, and it's extremely cheap compared to daycares.http://www.playcentre.org.nz/CompanyProfile?Action=View&CompanyProfile_id=80

Karori kids preschool 29 Campbell street, Awesome care and education for children 2-5 years old www.karorikids.org.nz Prices very competitive for full time care. Awesome team of teachers that love what they do.

Recommend trying Karori Childcare Centre on Beauchamp St.

Karori Kids For sure

We love Kindercare Karori. My son switched to it when we moved. He adores it. Best move ever.

St Mary's is great. The teachers are wonderful.

Hi Shaz, i am very sorry to hear that. What a wonderful thing for your work to do. Happy Tails in Porirua has a great reputation and a pick up service. That lady that dog sits for me works there and i couldnt speak highly enough of her. They have a website - happytails.co.nz. What area of town is the beagle in. I am from the Wellington Beagle Club so i could also post on our page. I am sure some of our members would be happy to take the beagle out on a weekend walk when we take our own out. My email is lisa@belowzero.co.nz if you would like to contact me.

Yeah it is Isabelle Maloret. Hes was a grt guy and it was very out of the blue.I was pretty sure u had recommended them also. I am so happy work wants to do this for his wife. We have the wheels in motion so hopefully his dog will be happily running around soon with other pooches.

Karori Kids has my vote. My grandaughter went there and it was fantastic. She always wants to go back and visit even though she is now 10. That says it all really!!
