Located in the heart of Flat bush & Ormiston, Hand and Hand Childcare is a warm and nurturing space where children from 3 months to 6 years thrive through play, exploration, and meaningful learning experiences.
Our spacious, well-equipped classrooms spark curiosity and creativity, offering hands-on learning in science, mathematics, languages, sensory play, sand play, and physical development.

That’s why we create engaging, age-appropriate experiences that inspire confidence, independence, and a love for learning. Our diverse and passionate team of teachers is dedicated to providing the best care for your little one. They work closely with families and whānau, ensuring that learning extends beyond the classroom and into your child’s everyday life.Tiny Hands (3 months 2 years): A calm and nurturing environment where your baby will feel safe, secure, and loved.
