about Small Sprouts

Just a short drive from Tindalls Bay, Small Sprouts is a purpose-built early learning centre in Stanmore Bay, offering a warm, nature-rich environment for tamariki across the Hibiscus Coast.

Our centre features a large outdoor space designed for water, sand and bush play, shaded by native pohutukawa and thoughtfully set up for curious young explorers. Inside, our passionate kaiako draw on the philosophies of Te Whariki, RIE, and Reggio Emilia to support each child’s individual learning journey.

Families from Tindalls love the peaceful setting, easy parking, and consistent team of qualified teachers. As a locally owned, family-run childcare centre, we pride ourselves on strong whanau partnerships and a nurturing, play-based approach that helps tamariki thrive, before they head off to Gulf Harbour Primary School or other nearby primaries.

Proudly serving Tindalls Bay, Red Beach, Stanmore Bay, Silverdale, Orewa, Manly, and the wider Whangaparaoa community.
