At our Fairlie Terrace centres your child will enjoy the bright and warm atmosphere we offer and can explore in our sunny sheltered garden.
Our Fairlie Terrace Centres offer a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each of the three buildings caters to different age groups allowing activities and schedules to be best targeted to your child’s needs. At Fairlie Terrace families provide all food, baby formula and nappies.
The Fairlie Terrace Centres have access to large, sunny and sheltered gardens.
Traditionally Fairlie Terrace has enrolled the children of students only. Increasingly, families using this service include staff who are at the Kelburn and Te Aro Campus or caregivers working around the Te Aro/Willis Street area.
Our Fairlie Terrace Centre is open Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5.30pm and offers a range of session options. We need children to have a number of settling in visits before their start date to enable them to become comfortable with the centre and to meet the staff.

Our fees and sessions differ between the Fairlie and Clermont Centres.
A Work and Income / StudyLink New Zealand childcare subsidy can make a huge difference to your fees. Find out about eligibility on the WINZ website. We can verify all required forms.
We participate in the 20 hours fee subsidy scheme with the Ministry of Education. This means fees for 3–4 year olds are at a reduced rate.
