Welcome back and welcome to our fancy new space! How big is it! How great is it!

Our tamariki have come back happy, settled and ready to explore.

It's amazing to see the incredible relationships built with key teachers remaining so strong that each child can feel safe and secure after 3 weeks away- a real credit to our amazing kaiako nursery team.

A big welcome to Rachael, who is our new permanent staff kaiako in Puawai.  She completes the team alongside Sam, Sam, Dayna and Emily. In Whakanui we have our amazing trio Dani, Jenni and Tash supporting our youngest as they grow and challenge themselves in a new environment.

The children have mostly enjoyed pottering around and exploring each new corner of the room.  The outdoor space with the slide and the lush grass opens up endless opportunities. 

This month has been all about enjoying the new and reconnecting with each other in our unhurried, calm and fun new space.

We look forward to the rest of the year with you all and hope you had a wonderful break!

See you soon
