What a pleasure it was to read everyone's nominations for their midwives.
And obviously a HUGE thank you to 5th Street, Tails Bar and Barefoot Gecko for their donations to help make our wonderful Midwives feel a bit special.

The winners are Lindsay Braddock and Jo Ryde - I'm in the process of contacting them to pass on their gifts now!

Celebrating Mothers and Motherhood today! At Shirley Playcentre we have been so lucky to be gifted a float session from Cloud9 to celebrate one of our families this Mother's Day.

We will be picking an attending members name next weekend and they will get to enjoy a bit of extraordinary relaxation and sensory deprivation.

Thank you so much Cloud9!!!

Leading into the colder season means play invitations inside on the yucky days! What kind of crafts are your or your tamariki favourites?

Happy International Day of Midwives!

Today we are celebrating International Day of the Midwife with billboards across Aotearoa recognising the incredible work of midwives.

Throughout the day, we will also be supporting ICM’s midwives campaign by sharing a series of tiles celebrating midwives new to the profession, alongside their mentors.

To every midwife, thank you. We appreciate the care you give to women, babies, and whānau every day.

If you spot a billboard near you, take a photo (where it is safe to do so) and send it to [email protected]. We will be sharing them throughout the day. A list of locations was included in yesterday's member communication.
