Our rooms
The Grange is small family-oriented centre that believes in quality over quantity. We have small group numbers so that your child may receive the quality care and interactions they deserve.
Our Under Two room has a maximum of 8 children, and our Over Two room has a maximum of 29 children.
Our Under Two room
In this room, we have a ratio of 1 teacher to 3 children (Min. of Ed.: 1:5). The children in this room learn through active exploration of their environment as well as through quality interactions with their teachers.
We provide a rich learning environment where individual needs are of the utmost importance and where children have many opportunities to engage in sensory activities, explore cause and effect, and develop their gross and fine motor skills.
The teacher-child ratios in this room allow us to work with and alongside parents to ensure that every child has the highest quality care possible.
Over Two room
2 year-old children
(Teinas)
Our ratio is 2 teachers to 10 children (Min. of Ed.: 2:20). Two-year-old children love to explore their environment as well as establish friendships with other children.
Our excellent teacher-child ratios enable us to work closely with children to develop the social skills they will need throughout their lives.
In addition to our specific programme for 2-year-olds, we organize fun and educational experiences daily, working with the children to ensure that their individual needs, interests, and strengths are catered to.
Over Two room
3-4 year-old children (Tuakanas)
Our ratio is 2 teachers to 14 children (Min. of Ed.: 2:20). As these children prepare for school, we offer them a rich environment in which they can further develop their friendships by caring for each other and those who are younger.
Here, children learn to develop their creativity and confidence. You will be amazed at what your child will achieve in readiness for their next step in life!
Children at this age show a keen interest in our specialised programmes: literacy, math, technology, science, music, art, and fitness.
We hold a special graduation ceremony when your child turns 5 years of age. We encourage you to attend your child’s special last day.

parents say about us
The Grange truly is a special place for kids. I sent both my daughters there and can say hand on heart that the special care they show all the children and the safe space that they've created reassures you that your child is in the best possible care if it's not with you as the parent. I can't recommend it highly enough if you're looking for a home away from home for your child.

This is one of the best daycares I have ever come across.
It's rare to see a daycare who truly believes in quality over quantity.
Every teacher was lovely to deal with.
I love the fact my nephew could feel like he had a home away from home.
My nephew suffered from anxiety separation, and within a short time, he loved going to daycare. His confidence grew and made wonderful friends.
This is a reflection of the wonderful team!
I also loved how the owner would email parents updates/changes during the pandemic times. The communication was fantastic.
I could write a novel of wonderful things this centre do!!
Highly recommended.Monique Crosbie
Very lucky to get my little toddler in here. The teachers are caring, parent/teacher communication is great, the space is open and well ventilated (super important these days), loads of activities and a fantastic mix of freedom and structure for the kids. I love that there’s a genuine conversation about his development. My little boy often wants to stay on when I pick him up!!

My daughter has been at the Grange for 3 and a half years. Throughout that time, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. The Grange has helped my family, especially my daughter, with everything that she has been through. They are wonderfully supportive, and we couldn't have handled everything without them. They went above and beyond so many times, that I lost count. It's a great place to send your children, she's made a lot of friends, and the other families that you meet are wonderful. It's a little community.

The Grange in West Auckland is definitely a standout early childhood learning centre. My youngest child started at the centre this year and as soon as I walked in I got a nice homely, welcoming vibe! All the staff have been amazing in settling him in and I feel so confident he’s in the most capable hands while I’m at work. There are so many different learning opportunities to partake in and the children are stimulated both inside and out. Highly recommend!
