About Us

Welcome to Blooming Buds

Where Every Child Blooms Brightly

Two beautiful landmark centres in West Auckland, one in Glen Eden and one in New Lynn are owned and operated by the West Auckland Community, the centre reminds us of our heritage and acknowledges the generations that have worked hard in the lap of Waitakere Ranges. The Blooming Buds is proudly locally owned and operated with the owner having years of invaluable early childhood New Zealand experience. Blooming Buds is committed to providing a holistic early learning journey to children up to 5 years of age.

At Blooming Buds, we provide all day long care in a secure and modern setting where infants, toddlers and preschoolers are nurtured to flourish and grow towards becoming forward thinking and educated citizens of tomorrow. We place great emphasis on encouraging children and developing their social skills and aptitudes, thus, helping them to grow in confidence for the next big step in their lives.

We provide a relaxed atmosphere where each child feels loved and respected while being in a place where they can also be challenged and their learning experience extended. Our teachers are friendly and approachable and go out of their way to maintain a strong relationship with the children, and their families and whanau. Your child will receive personal and customised care by a well knit, stable and passionate team that is very excited to be part of the Blooming Buds family.
