“My Daughter loves attending Nature school at BPEL where she gets to explore the natural environment along with her friends. They rug up and head outside rain or shine, search for faeries and learn something new every adventure.”

“Such a lovely preschool with very friendly and accomodating staff. Always happy to fit children in where they can.  Very lucky to have the preschool as it’s the only one on the whole on Banks Peninsula.”
