Amy R14 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful space and environment for our littlie to thrive. Our son has been here since he was 5months and is now just over 3 years. Hes built beautiful relationships with his peers and the kaiako over the years. The philosophy and pedagogy of Your Place aligns so well with our aspirations for our son and the staff have always been super receptive to anyways they can support as we've approach various milestones. Theres a great sense of passion for our tamariki from everyone who operates within the Centre. Looking forward to our next one arriving and beginning their journey here also. Priyanka Roy22 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with this childcare. My eldest son started when he was 6months , and now he is 4.5yrs. These last 4 years I have had the joy and privilege to see what an amazing person he's becoming and I do give a lot of credit to the teachers and caregivers here. So it was a super easy decision to enrol my second son here as well. He too started at 6 months. The teachers here are so wonderful, caring and the boys feel so safe and loved here. I also love the fact that they have an inhouse chef that prepares these lovely meals for the kids. I would highly recommend Your Place childcare. Fiona Schuler21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We joined the Your Place family in 2021 when I returned to work. We visited lots of local centre's and selected Your Place it just felt like the right place for us for a variety of reasons. It was daunting and a bit scary the thought of handing our daughter over to someone else for the day, would she be ok?loved? safe? When I first visited the warm and friendly teachers in the Kiwi and Pukeko rooms were the first people we met and made us feel at ease and knowing our daughter was safe and would be loved and cared for. Then we had the 1 month settling in period (which ended up being more for me than her). I felt safe dropping her off each day. The rooms are well thought out for each age and stage of development, our first visit explained why each room was set up a certain way and over the years we have seen the things Mel talked about in the first visit actually happen. Watching tamariki engage with all the real life resources-using real glasses and china plates. Exploring the gardens and playing on real grass, and splashing in the rain and puddles is encouraged - Clothes can be changed for dry ones but these experiences last a lifetime. Our daughter has learnt social skills, life skills, a love for arts and crafts, maths and science and she is confident and happy excited for school later in the year. Debbie Buselich21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Your Place is our sons home away from home, and I have enormous comfort knowing he is taken care of so well. Another comfort is knowing staff turn over is low. All staff in the infant rooms we met nearly 2 years ago when my son started are still present today. And I believe most of the infant staff started working in the room years before my son started. As a new parent this is a positive sign and stands out that staff are well retained. The joy I have knowing my son is enjoying his time at Your Place, having fun while learning and exploring, and is taken care of, is hugh. I always recommend Your Place to local families. Keir Menzies9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Ayson9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 NZ9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Ok26 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 B22 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Whitfield3 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Your Place Childcare is a home away from home, filled with friendly and caring teachers, who are super supportive.

Comprehensive Childcare Services
Our 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.
