Nau Mai, Haere Mai.

Welcome to NatureSpace Early Learning, a fully licensed early learning centre that caters to tamariki aged 3 months to 6 years of age.

NatureSpace is set in enchanting magical acres of farmland, stimulating natural settings in homely learning environments based on the world renowned Reggio Emilia approach to teaching.

We pride ourselves on our fantastic teacher to child ratios and our natural, engaging and resourceful learning environment.

Founded in February 2022 after being The Secret Garden Childcare for 7 years, NatureSpace Early Learning is licensed for 72 children including up to 27 under two tamariki. We have 2 learning spaces; Pata for Under 2 tamariki and Tupu for our over 2 tamariki.

Our Mission

At NatureSpace Early Learning, our mission is to provide children with a wide range of authentic experiences, meaningful relationships, and an individualised education to foster their independence and identity.

Our Vision

Exploring, learning and developing in nature's educational backyard. NatureSpace tamariki are trusted and nurtured as curious, capable, and competent learners who are supported by teachers working in partnership with parents and whānau to provide a high-quality and responsive curriculum.

“Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world but themselves.”

— Stephen Moss
