We have a wide range of developmental toys for children, while you can enjoy a cup of coffee/tea plus some nibbles and a chat with others. Everything is provided: all you have to do is drop in to our warm hall and enjoy playing with your child or watching them develop and begin to interact with other children in a no pressure environment. Most of our children are in the 0 to 2 years age range. All we ask is a Koha to cover refreshments, and the pleasure of your company!
Tell us what groups you'd like to see in your area...(walking groups, coffee meet-ups, swing dancing, a family tree group - anything at all!)
Or if you are already in a great group, share it here for others to get involved.
With the invention of the internet and mobile phone communication, pen pals seem to be a thing of the past but it was a common practice at one point.

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.

We provide teas and coffee, plus some nibbles for everyone, plus the chance for a chat with other caregivers and parents. Great as a pre-cursor for your child to play centre or Kindy. We have masses of educational and experiential toys encouraging mental and physical development. We are on the no 1 and 29 bus routes and the stops are right outside so very easy access, and we have plenty of parking spaces available in Humber Street.
