Campus Services

We provide high quality childcare for children of students and staff of the Polytechnic.

The Infant, Toddler, Pre-school, and Before-Five Centres are located at the Windermere Campus off Lagoon Place. They operate five days a week between the hours of 7.45am and 5.00pm and cater for children aged from 6 months to 5 years.

Children are educated and cared for by qualified professional teachers for a reasonable fee. Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) subsidies may apply.

"Today we leave childcare after 8 years - and it’s a hard day. Thank you for all that you have done to enrich our sons’ lives. You've gone beyond what your contracts specify to educate and care for our boys. We recognise and appreciate all the extra things you have done. Our boys are well prepared for school and that is thanks to you, as a whole."
