Amy R14 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful space and environment for our littlie to thrive. Our son has been here since he was 5months and is now just over 3 years. Hes built beautiful relationships with his peers and the kaiako over the years. The philosophy and pedagogy of Your Place aligns so well with our aspirations for our son and the staff have always been super receptive to anyways they can support as we've approach various milestones. Theres a great sense of passion for our tamariki from everyone who operates within the Centre. Looking forward to our next one arriving and beginning their journey here also. Priyanka Roy22 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with this childcare. My eldest son started when he was 6months , and now he is 4.5yrs. These last 4 years I have had the joy and privilege to see what an amazing person he's becoming and I do give a lot of credit to the teachers and caregivers here. So it was a super easy decision to enrol my second son here as well. He too started at 6 months. The teachers here are so wonderful, caring and the boys feel so safe and loved here. I also love the fact that they have an inhouse chef that prepares these lovely meals for the kids. I would highly recommend Your Place childcare. Fiona Schuler21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We joined the Your Place family in 2021 when I returned to work. We visited lots of local centre's and selected Your Place it just felt like the right place for us for a variety of reasons. It was daunting and a bit scary the thought of handing our daughter over to someone else for the day, would she be ok?loved? safe? When I first visited the warm and friendly teachers in the Kiwi and Pukeko rooms were the first people we met and made us feel at ease and knowing our daughter was safe and would be loved and cared for. Then we had the 1 month settling in period (which ended up being more for me than her). I felt safe dropping her off each day. The rooms are well thought out for each age and stage of development, our first visit explained why each room was set up a certain way and over the years we have seen the things Mel talked about in the first visit actually happen. Watching tamariki engage with all the real life resources-using real glasses and china plates. Exploring the gardens and playing on real grass, and splashing in the rain and puddles is encouraged - Clothes can be changed for dry ones but these experiences last a lifetime. Our daughter has learnt social skills, life skills, a love for arts and crafts, maths and science and she is confident and happy excited for school later in the year. Debbie Buselich21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Your Place is our sons home away from home, and I have enormous comfort knowing he is taken care of so well. Another comfort is knowing staff turn over is low. All staff in the infant rooms we met nearly 2 years ago when my son started are still present today. And I believe most of the infant staff started working in the room years before my son started. As a new parent this is a positive sign and stands out that staff are well retained. The joy I have knowing my son is enjoying his time at Your Place, having fun while learning and exploring, and is taken care of, is hugh. I always recommend Your Place to local families. Keir Menzies9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great place for your little one to experience formative interactions. Nature based or virtues based learning with long settling in periods. Attentive and caring child practitioners and wonderful facilities. Highly reccommended to any parents in and around the Millwater area. Natalie Ayson9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son has been attending Your Place since he was 10 months old and he loves it. The settling in process for him and us as parents was fantastic, so much so that there was no tears and now he’s been there a year it’s a quick good bye as he runs off to play. He loves his carers and they all do an amazing job. As do the support team behind the scenes. If you have any special requests for your little one, they are very good at taking care of it or offering a good alternative. They put on a wonderful Christmas party for all the kids & families in December and so many activities throughout the year. I highly recommend Your Place as a very welcoming and nurturing centre. Michael & Nina in NZ9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started our 10 months old at Your Place a couple of months ago and have been genuinely satisfied with the outcome so far. It is a real hidden gem of a ECE facility - teachers are nice and caring, great indoor & outdoor facilities, great ratio, nature based learning that's filled with fun activities. Best of all the settling period is the longest I've heard and really helped our little one to seamlessly settled in. Only two months officially in and he has already bonded with his caretakers and comes home really happy every day. Def would recommend! Hanie Ok26 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been already three months that my daughter joined to your place childcare. after visiting many childcares in Silverdale I finally chose here. I'm totally happy with its welcoming environment. tidy and clean. the teachers are nice, caring and professional. For me the best point is that teachers always keep me informed about my daughter's activities and progress. Anna B22 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great space for little ones, driven by strong principles, inclusive, and supportive. All families are made to feel welcome, safe, and valued. There are amazing resources both inside and outside the classroom where expectations of care among staff are high and children are constantly challenged and encouraged. There are daily nutritional and delicious meals provided and communication with parents is excellent. There are also a number of events throughout the year that involve the children, staff, families, and community. We have had a great experience in the four years we have been involved with Your Place! Nici Whitfield3 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our Approach to Early Childcare and Education

We understand the unique needs of children. As a leading childcare and early childhood education centre in Silverdale, we ensure that each tamariki receives individualised care with a low teacher-to-child ratio. Our experienced team of educators is dedicated to fostering growth, guided by holistic learning philosophies such as Te Whāriki, Reggio Emilia, and the respectful caregiving approach of Dr Emmi Pikler. Our curriculum focuses on building a strong foundation for lifelong learning while promoting cognitive, emotional, and social development in a nurturing environment.
Trusted Early Childhood Care with a Focus on Emotional Growth
Using The Virtues Project as our guide, we nurture key virtues such as empathy, responsibility, and respect. This approach helps tamariki grow emotionally, socially, and academically, in an environment where they feel valued and supported.
A Long Settling-In Period for Smooth Transitions
Starting childcare can be a big change for both tamariki and parents. Our extended settling-in period gives families the time and support needed to build trust, ensuring a smooth and positive adjustment for everyone.
Nature-Based Learning and Outdoor Play


Outdoor play is integral to our approach because we believe children benefit immensely from connecting with nature. That’s why we offer engaging activities such as carpentry, dam building, gardening, sandpit exploration, bike/wheels days, and Playball sessions. These experiences help tamariki develop physical skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities while fostering teamwork, collaboration, and a love for the environment.
