Saffron Street has an inclusive homelike environment that incorporates old with new.

The special architecture of the old church and buildings has been maintained and enhanced to create a beautiful gem of a preschool. With four light and spacious Learning Areas we offer the unique home-like environment we value so much.

A surprise to many when they come to visit is the extensive and private outdoor play space. These natural spaces sheltered by large trees are inviting and challenging for children.  Many happy hours are spent exploring these wonderful spaces. There are endless opportunities for the children to work in the outdoor Atelier alongside our atelierista, maintain the edible garden, get involved in storytelling and music on the outdoor stage, climb and run and have fun.

Saffron Street caters for children from birth to six years and is situated in a quiet residential community directly over the road from Wairakei Primary School. Rabbit Patch, Saffron Street is another quality option for you and your child to play, explore, discover.

Looking forward to meeting you.
