Philosophy

Welcome to Bunnies Childcare and Pre-School based in the town of trees and champions, Cambridge New Zealand. We are a privately owned centre located on Thornton Road as you head towards the suburb of St Kilda. Bunnies is a well-established early learning centre, where we provide a spacious purpose-built rich learning environment.

Our teams are well-established ECE kaiako who have vast knowledge and experience in the industry and are supported by our strong Team Leaders. Our focus is to develop and maintain positive relationships with kaiako, tamariki, whānau and the wider community.

At Bunnies we recognise and respect each tamaiti as an individual, with their own interests, needs and cultural backgrounds; supporting and encouraging them to be competent and confident learners. Whānaungatanga with each tamaiti, their whānau and the wider community are recognised, reciprocal and respectful. We provide a purpose built, rich learning environment that is safe, inclusive, responsive and empowering.

Testimonials

“Bunnies is the only place that challenges me to forget thinking about my children, that’s how much they care and look after our precious little ones. Simona absolutely loved Bunnies school and all her teachers during her time at Pre-School. We are glad we’ll still be a part of Bunnies family for the next 4 years in Jenelle’s fun filled lovely learning journey. All the staff at Bunnies are exceptionally professional and approachable. They develop and train our children so well, I would never imagine going back to work otherwise. I highly recommend Bunnies to any parent who is looking for a safe, caring, fun filled and professional learning centre.” Read More

“Being surrounded by such a professional, caring, friendly and fun team of carers and staff meant our boy's loved their time at Bunnies! The variety of experiences they enjoyed really helped their development and growth in confidence, so their transition to primary school has been seamless. When our family moved over to New Zealand from the UK, one of our biggest concerns was how our children would deal with the change - from day one we felt so at ease with Bunnies, knowing the boys' were in such good hands was a huge relief and they have never looked back! Bunnies really is a fantastic pre-school!"

"My son was at Bunnies from 6 months old. He loved and thrived in the environment at Bunnies. The space, the activities, the games, the learning and the food was all highlights for him. The Kaiako made everything easy and worry free and were so great at working through his transitional and developmental stages. Bunnies were great at communicating and looking after his needs and made going back to work so much easier. We look forward to returning to Bunnies with our next child in 2021 and highly recommend the centre to others." Read More

"Our son has recently graduated from Bunnies pre-school after joining the centre as a 1 year old. Through every phase of his development and time at Bunnies we have always been very satisfied with the level of care and education he has received. Over the years he formed very strong relationships with the teachers and would look forward to going each morning. This was the best indication for us that he was enjoying himself and that he felt comfortable in the environment. This was ultimately the best outcome that we could have asked for, knowing that he was happy to leave his home each morning to attend Bunnies." Read More
