Manaaki

Nursery

A Warm, Nurturing Start For Your Little One’s Journey

An infant explores problem-solving at a nursery and early childhood centre, developing fine motor skills with a wooden puzzle.
The red heart represents Manaaki (6 months – 2 years), a safe, nurturing, and stimulating space for infants at Oxford Early Learning Centre.

Manaaki offers a secure, nurturing environment with a dedicated generous outdoor play area.

Our experienced Manaaki kaiako deliver individualised childcare that fosters secure, trusting relationships and nurtures respectful connections. We work closely with families to create a strong sense of belonging across our modern childcare facilities and learning centre.

In our nursery at Oxford Early Learning Centre, each child’s unique growth is supported through tailored activities that engage and inspire curiosity. With open communication, we keep parents informed about every milestone in our daycare centre and school, laying the foundation for lifelong learning from kindy to kindergarten.
