Lower Hutt City Childcare Centre

“LHCC is an incredible ECE centre. We happened upon it by chance, but we could have visited 20 centres and not found anywhere as good. The manager, Bernie, is passionate, creative, incredibly hard working and totally honest. The teachers are happy, dedicated, and obviously care deeply about the kids and the centre. It is not what I thought ECE would be, and often feels more like dropping our son off at a friend’s house than a daycare.”

“LHCC is an amazing ECE centre! After being at home for nearly 2 years with my daughter I knew it was time for her to go to an ECE setting. The kaiako have been amazing with not only settling her in but also supporting me with my return to teaching. I can honestly say that all of the kaiako are all amazing teachers and all bring so much to the centre. They have helped my daughter develop the confidence to explore and learn and have built such positive relationships with her that she is happy, secure and safe with them. In terms of getting back into work/teaching, management and the team have been extremely supportive, welcoming and patient, and it’s clear they really value and care for their teachers. We love LHCC and I feel very privileged for us both to be there.”

“Exceptional is an understatement for LHCC - they are absolutely extraordinary beyond words! The staff work so well to create strong loving individual bonds with each child (and parent) and really put huge amounts of effort into the support and knowledge they provide. The communication is fantastic between staff/parents. I moved my child here 4 months before the big school move and the amount they helped my child grow and prepare for school in such a short time really made us all feel valued, seen and respected. I highly recommend LHCC to any parent wanting to give their child the best growth and most nurturing care ☺️”

“Our whānau absolutely love LHCCC! The kaiako are all so thoughtful and intentional with the children. They've all created a great bond with our daughter who's currently in the under 2's room. The outdoor area is awesome. The rooms are super spacious and they have loads of great toys for the tamariki. The kids are often taken out on little excursions and there is always a fun activity for them to enjoy each day, including loads of crafting. The wonderful chef cooks up a storm every day, providing nutritious and yummy food for the children. Love, love, love this childcare centre and our daughter loves it even more!”

“LHCC is the most amazing childcare centre! The kaiako are caring, fun and supportive of all children. They really go above and beyond, particularly in the under 2s room. They have the best outdoor area, fun daily activities and theme days, and small ratios so children get lots of attention! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
