Childcare options in Greenlane

A calm, connected place where your child feels right at home.

Since 1971, Greenlane Childcare has been a trusted part of the community — a boutique early learning centre where children aged 3 months to 5 years are truly known, loved, and supported.

We’re a hidden gem tucked between Great South Road and Cornwall Park, with excellent transport links and on-site parking — making morning drop-offs and evening pick-ups smooth and stress-free for busy families.

With just 48 spaces, we’re intentionally small. This means more one-on-one attention, stronger relationships, and personalised care tailored to each child’s needs and routines. Our passionate, qualified teachers create a warm, home-like atmosphere, where your child feels safe, seen, and excited to learn.

We believe that meaningful learning happens through play, nature, and strong connections. Children enjoy unhurried routines, open-ended play, and regular nature walks to beautiful Cornwall Park — developing confidence, curiosity, and resilience along the way.

At Greenlane Childcare, we’re proud of our strong relationships with whānau. We partner with parents to ensure open communication, consistency between home and centre, and a shared approach to your child’s development.

Why parents choose us:

• Boutique size for truly personalised care
• Convenient location with great transport access
• Exceptional teacher-to-child ratios
• Calm, nurturing and home-like environment
• Regular nature excursions to Cornwall Park
• Experienced team with low staff turnover

Kimberley Childcare Greenlane received a superlative review from the Education Review Office in 2019. This means that whether you are looking for quality care for your under twos or excellent school preparation for your preschoolers, you can rest assured that we have you and your child's best interests at heart.​

We are a diverse centre with great ratios, high registered teacher rates (over 80%), with great staff from all over the globe and long opening hours (7 am - 6 pm weekdays). Our teachers really enjoy helping under fives grow up into their best selves​

Come and see our newly developed centre, tucked away on Marewa Road, opposite Countdown near the big roundabout - a very handy location. We'd love to show you around!

Mission & Vision

We believe that Childcares are a vital part of the community. That is why we strive tirelessly to provide excellent care and top quality education, so that your little one can have a positive experience of learning from an early age. We believe that learning is life-long, so we endeavour to instill a hunger for knowledge and curiosity for discovery.

We know that if your child is happy, you are happy! That's why we are child centred in all we do.

Unity In Our Diversity

We are proud to be uniquely multicultural, both in our staffing and the children who enjoy being in our centres. We believe that together we are better and we find that children benefit from early interaction with people who are different from themselves.

By giving your child early education with Kimberley, you are setting them up for the best possible start in life! In fact, schools love us because our children graduate with a hunger for learning that sets them up for a lifetime of success.
