Khandallah Community Creche

Khandallah Community Crèche has truly become our village. We’ve been with the crèche for five years, with all three of our children attending, and it has always been a safe, nurturing space for them. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring—they genuinely get to know each child as an individual and take the time to build relationships with the whole family. There is a real sense of community and belonging, and they have supported us as parents just as much as they have cared for our children. Our kids absolutely love it; my youngest grabs her crèche bag every morning and demands “Crèche, Mama!” even on weekends. We are so grateful for the beautiful start to education the crèche has given our children and could not recommend it more highly. They are consistently welcoming, accommodating, and truly exceptional.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Khandallah Community Creche whānau. From day one, the team has made us feel so welcome and supported. The low child-to-teacher ratios, along with the most exceptional teachers, mean every child is truly known and cared for which makes such a difference. “Tuatara Time” for the over 3s has been an absolute highlight and is truly treasured by the tamariki. It’s such a clever, age-appropriate way to foster learning, build independence and confidence, and get kids excited for the next step in their learning journey. The Crèche is an absolute gem and a real asset to the northern suburbs. As a community-based and not-for-profit centre, the fact that this creche continues to thrive today is a testament to just how special it is. We couldn’t recommend Khandallah Community Creche more highly.

We started our daughter at Khandallah Creche at the age of 2 when we had a new arrival in our house. I thought it’d be great to have a break from the relentlessnes of two small children in the house. It turns out that Creche has given my daughter so much more than I thought it would give me. Her social skills blossomed and she quickly made her very best friends that she has now gone on to kindy with too. The education she is getting in the special ‘Tuatara Group’ is much more than I could give at home and she loves the extra stimulation. It’s a beautiful nurturing environment and the teachers are absolutely amazing. We love being part of the Creche community and can’t wait to send number two there very soon!
