Our programme is designed to be as convenient as possible for busy parents with two Central Auckland drop-off points, long hours at no extra charge, plus you can also sign your kids up for as many or as few days as you need.

Please get your enrolments in early!
Like many local businesses, going into lockdown has been difficult for us financially. Because of this, our holiday programme activities have minimum enrolment numbers that we need to meet before they can go ahead.
Please help us by enroling your children early to secure their spot and ensure your kid's favourite activities go ahead.

During then unpredictable and unprecedented times, the health and safety of kids in our care is our number one priority. We have put special precautions in place to ensure the health and safety of our kids and our staff.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-

-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
