In May 2025, Narelle and David took over the early learning centre in Henderson. As parents to three children, we understand the importance of education. We aim to deliver an environment that inspires creativity, fosters healthy social connections, and prepares your child for school. We have been working on some improvements, inside and outside, and will always strive to run a great centre for all our children, teachers and parents.

We offer 20 ECE (Early Childhood Education) hours free education for children over three years old.

Personalised Care & Strong Relationships At Creative Minds, we pride ourselves on being a small, boutique centre, allowing us to offer personalised care and build strong, meaningful relationships with every child and whānau. Our experienced and highly qualified kaiako (teachers) foster an environment of warmth, laughter, and respect, where children feel secure and celebrated. We believe that genuine connections are the foundation for joyful learning.
Adventure & Discovery in Our Learning Environments Our centre is designed to be an extension of your home, with a great backyard and outdoor creative space. Our adventurous playground is a hub of physical activity and imaginative play, while our indoor environments are rich with resources that support an individualised curriculum. We champion the idea that the environment itself is a powerful teacher, inviting children to follow their curiosity and develop key skills.
Wholesome Kai for Growing Tamariki We know that good nutrition is crucial. That's why we provide healthy, freshly cooked meals onsite every day, ensuring your child receives nourishing and delicious kai.
Preparing for School For our preschoolers, our special transition to school program ensures they are confident, independent, and excited for their next steps, building on the strong foundation of learning they develop with us.
