Last Friday we filled The Miller Nest with pink, kindness, and so much joy! 💖
Our tamariki and kaiako came together wearing their brightest pinks to stand up against bullying and show that kindness starts with us. We hugged, laughed, created, and filled our giant Pink Shirt with acts of kindness — because every little heart makes a big difference! ✨
Be kind. Be a friend. Every day. 💓💓💓
The Miller Nest Early Learning Centre
We are a small, home inspired centre near the beautiful Mangere Mountain.
Our Philosophy is grounded in the importance of relationships and the view of the environment as the 'third teacher' that inspires exploration and discovery.
Happy Mother’s Day from The Miller Nest 💐
Today we celebrate all the amazing mums, grandmothers, aunties, caregivers, and special mother figures in our children’s lives.
Thank you for the love, care, strength, and support you give every day. Your kindness helps our tamariki feel safe, loved, and confident to grow.
Wishing you all a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love and appreciation. ♥️♥️♥️
🔥🚒 Fire Truck Day at The Miller Nest 🚒🔥
What an exciting day for our tamariki! Today we welcomed a real fire truck and some wonderful firefighters to our centre.
A very special thank you to one of our parents, Liam, for visiting and sharing his important role as a firefighter with our tamariki.
Our tamariki loved learning about the firefighters’ uniforms and protective gear, exploring the fire truck, sitting inside, taking photos, and helping spray the hose. There were smiles all around!
Thank you to Liam and the firefighters for creating such special memories for our tamariki. ❤️

🌟 Reunion Day at The Miller Nest 🌟
On 15th April, it was a beautiful heartwarming day as our recently graduated tamariki returned to visit us 💛.
Our little ones lit up with joy seeing their old friends again! The graduates arrived proudly in their school uniforms and shared all about their new adventures during mat time, their classrooms, what they’re learning, and their exciting new routines. It was so special hearing them speak with such confidence and excitement
They also told us how much they miss The Miller Nest… which completely melted our hearts 💕 Some even found it hard to say goodbye at the end.
Ngā mihi nui to all our tamariki and whānau who came back to visit. You will always have a special place in our Miller Nest whānau
✨ He wā whakahirahira tēnei mō tātou katoa ✨
This was truly a special moment for us all 💛
🐰🌸 Happy Easter from Miller Nest! 🐣✨
We’ve had such a busy and joyful few weeks getting ready for Easter 🐣 ! All our tamariki pitched in to make their own colourful headbands and beautiful Easter baskets, and it was so much fun watching the little ones’ excitement build.
On Thursday we all had an absolute blast at our Easter egg hunt with giggles, running around, and chocolatey treasures everywhere! ❤️
Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter filled with love, laughter, and plenty of sweet surprises.
🦋What an amazing adventure we had last Friday! 🦋
Our tamariki had the most wonderful time exploring Butterfly Creek, surrounded by beautiful butterflies fluttering around, spotting some tropical birds, feeding farm animals, and even watching crocodiles feeding up close! 🦋🦎🐊🐦
The smiles, excitement, and curiosity on their faces made the day truly special. Loads of fun, learning through play, and precious memories created together!
A huge thank you to our incredible whānau for your support, help, and enthusiasm in making this trip such a success. Your involvement means the world to us and helps our little ones thrive. ❤️🙏

Kia ora whānau! 👋
We love getting out and connecting with our community! 🌏
Our Monday Playgym sessions are back in full swing, and the tamariki are loving the van ride and getting active with their friends. 🤸♂️
We have also restarted our visits to Mountain View Primary! 📚 The children really enjoyed walking over, exploring the library, and reconnecting with old friends, it’s such a fantastic way to build confidence for their transition to school.
Check out the photos of our busy week below! 📸
January has been a happy start at The Miller Nest as we welcomed our tamariki back after the holidays. It’s been lovely to see familiar faces and friendships reconnect through play. Here are some highlights from our days back together💛
We’re so excited to create many more beautiful memories together in the year ahead! 🥳

Today marked our very last visit to the Playgym at Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Pool and Leisure Centre for Term 4! 💫
Our children from The Miller Nest ELC have loved having this opportunity every week to jump, climb, and balance. It has been such an amazing experience not only for our gross motor skills but for connecting with our wonderful local community here in Māngere Bridge.
We are so grateful for these weekly adventures! See you next term for more tumbling fun! 👋
