Orewa A childcare centre your family will love

For over 10 years, we’ve proudly nurtured little ones into amazing members of the Orewa community.

Here at Lollipops Orewa, we celebrate tradition, so you’ll see some familiar learning experiences in the centre that often spark nostalgia for parents. Many of our families talk about how our centre feels just like home and we love that!❤️

Our daycare centre is conveniently located close to the motorway. Being purpose built, we have separate spaces for our age groups. Those intimate spaces provide a sense of safety and security for you and your child.

We have outdoor environments lined with native flora and a secret garden designed to help children learn to look after themselves and the world around them.

You can trust that your child will always be seen, heard and nurtured by our dedicated teachers. That’s the beauty of an intimate centre like ours, it gives our teachers the time to really get to know your child. We want to know what your child loves, what scares them and the things t

My little girl has been going to Lollipops in Orewa for 2 years now, and she absolutely loves it. She comes home covered in sand, paint, glitter and smiles. Since being there we've noticed a huge 360 change in the centre, and couldn't be more happy with it. They've put so much effort into making it an amazing little environment to be in, to learn, discover and play! The teachers are wonderful. They are kind and respectful, encouraging and engaging. They are also a little bit younger which I love - they are fresh with ideas and energy, always thinking of fun new things to keep the kids busy!! I would recommend this centre to anyone in a heartbeat.

My two children love attending Lollipops Orewa and my eldest would go every day if he could. In both the nursery and preschool my children have fantastic relationships with their caring teachers, who will always go the extra mile. My children have excelled with their learning since attending Lollipops Orewa. They have made wonderful friendships and I couldn’t be happier about the loving, caring and educational atmosphere that they experience each day. I highly recommend Lollipops Orewa to any parent wanting a joyful and positive experience for their children.

We are delighted to take part in the Salvation Army Christmas Food and Gift Drive.

Nursery Afternoon High Tea

It was an honour to welcome our whanau and parents to our delightful nursery afternoon High Tea. We are excited about making this a regular term event, where we can gather whanau, parent aspirations, connect our whanau with the wider community and create valuable networking opportunities. Our welcoming, warm atmosphere and environment was complimented by a selection of delicate tasteful savouries and the allure of delicious assortment of sweet treats. We truly appreciate everyone’s attendance and contribution to the success of our afternoon High Tea. We look forward to many more wonderful afternoon High Tea gatherings together.

Our visit to the Maygrove Village!

The preschool tamariki truly enjoy their excursions to Maygrove Village. For Māori Language Week, they had the wonderful opportunity to create feathers for a korowai alongside the residents. This beautiful korowai has been on display in the foyer of Maygrove Village and was gifted to us on October 9, 2024. Our tamariki eagerly anticipate their next visit to see their “new friends,” as they affectionately call the residents. A korowai, or Māori cloak, is adorned with hukahuka (tassels) and feathers. It serves as a mantle of prestige and honor, symbolizing leadership and the responsibilities that come with it within the community. The name "korowai" embodies the respect, authority, and spiritual power associated with leadership in Māori culture.
