New centre coming soon to Drury! We are excited to support the learning of the youngest members of the Auranga community with the opening of BestStart Bremner Road. The centre will provide quality education and care for children aged between 3 months up until they go to school.

BestStart Bremner Road will develop strong connections to the community and we look forward to providing a nurturing and caring environment that provide our families and children with a place to create memories, to grow and to feel a sense of belonging.

We’re committed to growing caring people with curious minds, and the centre supports this with indoor environments purposely built to support the learning and development of different age groups – Infants, Toddlers and Preschool. Each room will be equipped with high quality, focused resources designed to spark curious minds.

Our internal environment is connected to a challenging outdoor area, to encourage physical outdoor learning for your child. Children can challenge themselves on the playground equipment while building their independence and self-confidence.

Healthy, nutritious meals and snacks will be provided throughout the day.

We will offer BestStart’s Be School Ready initiative for our preschool children, which will be incorporated into everyday practice, assisting with the next step in their learning journey. The initiative encourages children to use their developing self-help skills and provides a range of opportunities to extend their independence.

Your child’s learning journey and milestones will be captured and shared through one-on-one communication and our online learning portfolios on Storypark. This is a great way to keep up to date with what your child is doing while at the centre. You can log in to see what’s been happening in their day, check out photos of them and comment on their activities.

Young Petals Early Learning Centre Drury

Young Petals is an early childhood service licensed for 30 children. We are open 5 days a week from 7am – 6pm, excluding public holidays. We provide full day care, as well as sessional care of 3/4/6 hours a day, as per the needs of the family. We also provide the 20 ECE hours for over 3 children and WINZ subsides if needed. We are a small knitted team of 8 highly motivated staff members, including Owner Operator, Centre Manager, Sujata Patel. We provide meals to all the children attending our care and services. We believe in delivering a quality care to our children with more than 80% qualified staff. Our centre is spread across three rooms-the babies room (0-2 years), toddler room (2-3.5 years), and preschool room (3.5-6 years). We work closely with our parents and whanau and strive to achieve the goals and aspirations for their children. Our Education Programme At Young Petals we implement the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum – Te Whāriki. Te Whāriki is based on four principles of learning – Empowerment, Holistic Development, Family & Community, and Relationships. These four principles provide the fundamental basis for our planning and are designed to build children’s confidence, develop positive relationships and ensure the individual needs of each child is met. Planning/Care Groups: On enrolment, your child will generally bond with and choose their own primary care teacher who will be responsible for their transition; day to day care and ensuring their portfolios are kept up-to-date. This doesn’t mean that your child will only work with that one staff member, as we all work collaboratively together. All staff will work with all children and write learning stories on other children as this gives us a wider perspective of your child’s interests and needs. Children’s Portfolios: Every child has their own special book of learning and experiences while at Young Petals. This book belongs to your child and documents their journey of exploration and discovery, special interests and strengths. We hope that from time to time you will contribute to your child’s portfolio, to enrich our shared understanding of children’s learning and development. This could be done by adding photos and stories from home. Your child’s portfolio will be sent home on a regular basis. We ask that portfolios are well looked after while at home and are returned within two weeks. A feedback form will be sent home with it, which we hope you will find time to fill in. Any portfolios lost or returned damaged will incur a ‘replacement fee’. Planning: Our staff are trained and skilled in documenting your child’s learning and development through the use of learning stories. Learning stories are record of your child’s interests and strengths, and each story shows a snapshot of a learning experience they have enjoyed with us. This assessment process helps us to plan and enhance their learning. We believe it is important to celebrate the individual skills and abilities of each child’s development, providing support to revisit and practice these as many times as necessary to allow children time to develop their own theories about the world around them and their interactions within it. Group projects support and celebrate the children’s interests within a group environment. We believe it is important to celebrate children’s skills for initiating and maintaining enjoyable relationships with other children. This planning is displayed around the centre so everyone can become familiar with our programme focus. As you are your child’s primary caregiver and have the most knowledge about your child, we value and encourage your input into our planning. For this reason staff will often document conversations they have with you, or ask you to fill in forms to get your feedback.
