Kids at Play - Mount Eden
About Kids at Play
Ample time for free play is promoted, giving children open opportunities to explore their deeper individual interests, where teachers' high ratio is available.
Our physical environment is thoughtfully created and set with the individual child in mind. We ensure quality resources and defined play spaces to inspire rich play and friendships with others. The aesthetics of the environment plays a huge part in encouraging children to participate fully and confidently.
As a mixed-age centre, our teaching staff believe in the importance of developing social competencies in children. We practice the fundamental values of P5 strategies (Kate Birch), where informed choices are encouraged. Each child is made to feel valued and respected using open communication with adults and peers. Children are made to feel that their emotional well-being is nurtured and that these will be listened to and supported in their learning environment.
Our centre has a ‘rest’ time of day, giving children the opportunity to re-fuel from the morning’s excitement. Some children may not sleep. However, a rest period is promoted to recharge their batteries for the vigours of the afternoon’s activities. The exception of rest time will be our 4+-year-old children, who participate in our centre’s Transition to School Group programme.
Transition to School Group
Transition to School Group runs specifically for the 4+-year-old children in keeping with the Centre’s philosophy of a ‘negotiated curriculum’.

β β β β β My daughter is 2 and has been going since she was 12 months. The teachers are amazing here, with all of them being qualified, you really notice the difference in the way they interact with them. Can't recommend enough.

as a member of the teaching team for the last 16 years and having had both my daughters attend the centre from infant to school age I can safely say I would recommend Kids at Play as the centre of choice. A team of experienced Kaiako help create a nurturing environment conducive to promoting and extending children's physical, emotional and intellectual development, using a holistic approach by valuing children's prior knowledge, experiences and culture.

β β β β β My granddaughter goes to this excellent day-care centre and loves it. Besides being well cared for she gets educational input as well as great socialising with the other children. The staff are very caring and very professional. This is an impressive place that truly cares for the precious assets with which they are entrusted.

β β β β β My granddaughter has been attending Kids at Play since she was one and it is toddler heaven! Big sandpits, pet rabbit, bikes, playground and lots of activities. Caring staff and great systems. She is happy and secure and never in a hurry to go home.

β β β β β My little boy started at Kids at Play when he was 9months. I knew a bit about KAP from my niece &nephew attending prior. I was very thrilled and it felt comforting to know some of the teachers were still there including the wonderful chef May, 2 Senior supervisors, The Manager and senior teachers among others.
The nutritious, heart ticked food made by May is amazing with a vast menu full of goodness!
The low staff turnover was was great to know that my boy would have those friendly familiar faces for a length of time! Also the great ratio of teachers to babies in Under2βs was good to see.
The love, care, friendliness and safety felt on my first trial visit with my son was enough to make my decision.
What we have gained as parents and what my son has learnt & the friendships he has made over the past 4 years will set him on his educational path for the next 12-13 years of further learning and education.
So many amazing tools used to learn and the free play and fun, exciting activities he participates in he just loves and our faces light up to hear him tell us each day what he does in transition to school group!
We are certainly going to miss KAP, the teachers and his little buddies, he will be sad to leave for school in october.

β β β β β My son has been at Kids at Play since he was 6 months old and has absolutely thrived under the centre's environment and fantastic staff.
What struck me from our first tour was the absolute professionalism, love and care that the staff had for the children, this was also evident in the culture and processes that underpin the entire operations which makes you so much more confident as a parent when leaving your little one.
The nutritionist designed fresh prepared menu by the Centre cook May is also excellent. And I love the fact that as a non profit parent led incorporated society all profits are invested back into the centre and the kids.
My little boy has great besties and it is a challenge to get him to leave each day, I couldn't be happier with KAP!

β β β β β Our daughter has thrived at Kids at Play, and sometimes asks to go on the weekend! Wonderful group of dedicated teachers, lots of interesting and varied activities, home-cooked food, pet bunny, and our daughter is encouraged to explore, create, and be active with her friends. Highly recommended.
