A huge thank you to our generous local hedge-cutting contactor for donating their time and services to Playcentre. 🌿💚

We are incredibly grateful for the time and hard work that went into cutting and tidying our hedge, all done completely free of charge. Your generosity makes such a difference to our Playcentre and helps keep our Playcentre looking welcoming and cared for.

Thank you for supporting our Playcentre 🌿👏

We were so excited to welcome some tamariki from Manawaru School to visit us during Playcentre Open Week on Monday, along with some new whānau visiting our centre for the first time! 💜 It made for a busy, fun and engaging session.

If you didn’t get a chance to pop in during Open Week, don’t worry — we're open every Monday from 9.30am–12pm and we’d love to welcome you! 🌿🌈

Come along, explore our amazing outdoor space, have fun in the sandpit 🪣🏖️ and playground 🛝, or enjoy indoor play with lots of opportunities for tamariki to learn through play 🎨🥁✨

You can come along for three visits before deciding if Playcentre is right for your whānau 💕 So if you have a baby or preschooler, come and see what Manawaru Playcentre is all about. We’d love to meet you! 🥰

A beautiful space, happy children, and the simple joy of play

🐾 Messy play magic at Manawaru Playcentre! 🌈

Our tamariki loved rescuing animals 'stuck in the mud' while exploring the squishy texture of fingerpaint. Messy play helps build fine motor skills, creativity, and confidence through hands-on discovery ✨

Come and join the fun on Mondays from 9:30am - 12pm — new whānau always welcome! 💛
