Keir Menzies2025-01-09 A great place for your little one to experience formative interactions. Nature based or virtues based learning with long settling in periods. Attentive and caring child practitioners and wonderful facilities. Highly reccommended to any parents in and around the Millwater area. Natalie Ayson2025-01-09 Our son has been attending Your Place since he was 10 months old and he loves it. The settling in process for him and us as parents was fantastic, so much so that there was no tears and now he’s been there a year it’s a quick good bye as he runs off to play. He loves his carers and they all do an amazing job. As do the support team behind the scenes. If you have any special requests for your little one, they are very good at taking care of it or offering a good alternative. They put on a wonderful Christmas party for all the kids & families in December and so many activities throughout the year. I highly recommend Your Place as a very welcoming and nurturing centre. Michael & Nina in NZ2025-01-09 We started our 10 months old at Your Place a couple of months ago and have been genuinely satisfied with the outcome so far. It is a real hidden gem of a ECE facility - teachers are nice and caring, great indoor & outdoor facilities, great ratio, nature based learning that's filled with fun activities. Best of all the settling period is the longest I've heard and really helped our little one to seamlessly settled in. Only two months officially in and he has already bonded with his caretakers and comes home really happy every day. Def would recommend! Hanie Ok2024-08-26 It has been already three months that my daughter joined to your place childcare. after visiting many childcares in Silverdale I finally chose here. I'm totally happy with its welcoming environment. tidy and clean. the teachers are nice, caring and professional. For me the best point is that teachers always keep me informed about my daughter's activities and progress. Anna B2024-07-22 This is a great space for little ones, driven by strong principles, inclusive, and supportive. All families are made to feel welcome, safe, and valued. There are amazing resources both inside and outside the classroom where expectations of care among staff are high and children are constantly challenged and encouraged. There are daily nutritional and delicious meals provided and communication with parents is excellent. There are also a number of events throughout the year that involve the children, staff, families, and community. We have had a great experience in the four years we have been involved with Your Place! Nici Whitfield2024-07-03 Your Place Childcare is a home away from home, filled with friendly and caring teachers, who are super supportive. Lovely outdoor area for exploring and many indoor activities to help ignite their imaginations. Best decision I made was to enroll my son at Your Place. Chetna Patel2024-05-30 My daughter was at Your Place for over 3 years until she started school this year. We have so many wonderful memories of Your Place and are so grateful for the loving , nurturing , calm and empowering start to life outside of home our daughter had. The owner - Mel’s vision and care , is seen in all aspects throughout the centre and her and every single staff member from teacher to cook to admin showed love, respect and nurture and most of all really connected with the children. I particularly valued the longer settling in period of a month as this made me comfortable when my daughter was very little and not used to not being at home or away from me and I also loved how the meals were so nutritious and we were catered well for as vegetarian , even at the social events of a veg sausage sizzle, just an example of the thoughtfulness and inclusiveness in this centre. For anyone thinking about Your Place for your child I’d wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you again for a wonderful “preschool and first school” for our baby girl. We will always remember you fondly. Dhanushka Sandaruwan2024-05-21 Our son has been attending Your Place Child Care for over two years now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff is incredibly kind and nurturing, always creating a warm and welcoming environment. They have instilled wonderful values in our son and have a great philosophy that shines through in their everyday interactions. We particularly appreciate their focus on valuing individual cultural identities and fostering deep relationships among the children. The communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our son's progress. We're grateful to have found such a fantastic childcare provider! Leala Van den Berg2024-05-06 My son had been at Your Place since it opened. For the last 4 years He has absolutely loved his time there, it’s really helped him become the person he is today. I would highly recommend Your Place to any parent looking for a quality childcare.

Comprehensive Childcare Services
Our comprehensive childcare services provide a safe and stimulating nature-based environment for children from birth to 5. We understand that the early years are crucial for a child’s brain development. Therefore, our team is committed to providing personalised care that supports your child’s emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, allowing them to play and learn through engaging activities.
Infant Care
Our infant care programme begins with nurturing pēpi as young as 3 months old, inspired by the Pikler approach. This method emphasises respect for infants’ autonomy and fostering trust through gentle, responsive care. With a focus on emotional and physical development, our experienced carers provide a safe and comforting environment tailored to meet your baby’s needs. Through gentle routines, sensory-rich activities, and a strong emphasis on trust-building interactions, we promote security and early learning milestones. Every interaction is carefully designed to support your baby’s growth and development, respecting their need for independence and supporting their journey during these crucial early months.
Toddler Care
Our toddler care programme is designed to foster independence, curiosity, and social interaction in tamariki aged 1 to 3. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we create an environment that encourages exploration and discovery through child-led learning. With age-appropriate activities and a structured yet flexible routine, we nurture toddlers’ natural curiosity and creativity. Our kaiako guide tamariki through imaginative play, early learning experiences, and social interactions, helping them build confidence and develop key skills that lay the foundation for lifelong learning. At Your Place Childcare, the principles of Reggio Emilia are woven throughout our programmes, ensuring every child is viewed as capable and resourceful.
Early Childhood Education Programmes
Our tailored early childhood education programmes foster a love for learning through play, exploration, and creativity. As an ECE provider in Silverdale, we draw inspiration from Te Whāriki, New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, which emphasises holistic development and the importance of family and community in a child’s learning journey. Our programmes engage your child’s curiosity, provide a foundation for lifelong learning, and ensure a smooth transition to primary school.
Guided by The Virtues Project, we nurture values such as kindness, responsibility, and resilience, helping children develop strong character alongside academic skills. We use evidence-based practices and the latest research on child development. By combining nature-based settings with opportunities to play and learn, we create an environment where every child receives the best start on their learning journey, supported by both foundational virtues and the enriching framework of Te Whāriki.
Parent Support Services
We believe in supporting parents throughout their journey. Our parent support services include guidance on child development, tips for fostering positive behaviour, and resources to help create a nurturing, nature-based learning environment at home. We use Storypark for regular updates, newsletters, and sharing your child’s milestones. Additionally, you can stay engaged with our community through our active Facebook and Instagram pages, where we share insights, updates, and moments from our centre. We’re here to work alongside you every step of the way in your child’s education, helping you create opportunities for them to play and learn effectively.
Early Intervention Support
At Your Place, we prioritise early intervention when needed and have strong links with the Ministry of Education’s Learning Support Team. This enables us to provide access to services like early intervention teachers, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, child psychologists, and more.
