Our Nido Room
Welcome to our Nido Room, designed for children aged 0-2 years. This nurturing environment is a tranquil and loving space, tailored to meet the unique needs of infants. Here, we focus on fostering secure attachments, sensory exploration, and motor development. Our skilled teachers provide individualised care, ensuring a warm, home-like atmosphere that supports each infant's natural rhythm and emerging independence.

Our Bambino Room
The Bambino Room, for children aged 2-3 years, is a vibrant and exploratory space that bridges the gap between infancy and early childhood. In this enriching environment, we encourage toddlers to explore and learn through hands-on experiences. Children engage in activities that promote self-care, fine motor skills, and early problem-solving, laying a foundation for a lifetime love of learning.

Our La Casa Room
Discover La Casa, for children aged 3-5 years where the Montessori journey unfolds with creativity and independence. This environment is designed to cater to the growing intellectual, social, and emotional needs of the preschool child. Children engage in practical life skills, sensorial activities, mathematics, language, and cultural studies. Our approach fosters responsibility, respect, and a deep sense of community, preparing them for the next steps in their educational journey.
Our centre is licensed for 60 children, including up to 15 infants under the age of two, and proudly boasts a team of 100% qualified teachers. Our commitment to quality education is reflected in our focus on meaningful interactions and positive relationships between teachers and children, enhancing both learning and emotional development.
We understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, valuing the unique backgrounds of each child. Our curriculum respects and integrates Māori culture as a fundamental part of our children's learning journey.
Health, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards are core to our operations. We regularly review and update our practices to ensure the wellbeing and safety of every child in our care.
We are more than just a learning centre, we are a community where children grow, learn, and thrive. Our doors are open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday, providing a welcoming and accessible environment for all families.
What do our families think?

“We can’t speak highly enough of Biggles. It is truly an incredible place with amazing teachers and a lovely community of families. Our 3 children have all gone to Biggles and have had wonderful experiences there. My eldest has numerous health complications and they took the best care of him and welcomed his carer with open arms. I feel so reassured at every drop off, knowing my children will be absolutely loved and cared for every day. They have so much fun - so many cool activities and learning with the teachers who show endless energy and enthusiasm. Biggles has prepared our children so well for their school days. Biggles is always the first centre I recommend to anyone and it will be a sad day when our last child finishes - I know we will miss the place immensely!”
