Our Rooms

Lollipops Browns Bay has three separate rooms, enabling us to deliver safe, nurturing and age appropriate learning experiences for all our children.

Tui Room

The Tui Room caters for the youngest members of our Lollipops whanau – our children aged 3 months to 2 years. This is a special room prepared with the care and nurturing of precious little ones in mind. Here, loving care is the name of the game, and cuddles come with the territory! The Tuis Room features both inside and outside play areas that are perfect for those testing their newfound walking skills.
