Lindisfarne nursery school<br />
Lindisfarne opened in 1987 with the aim of<br />
providing parents and families with a nursery<br />
school which respects their individual needs<br />
and aspirations. We provide full time, part<br />
time and casual enrolment opportunities<br />
for your child, so that you can<br />
organise a schedule which suits<br />
your requirements.<br />
The teachers provide learning<br />
experiences tailored to individual<br />
children’s needs and interests,<br />
and the programme promotes<br />
independent thinking and skill<br />
development. Our aim is to have<br />
happy, settled, confident children,<br />
who enjoy an environment which<br />
fosters a love of learning, and<br />
respect for all people<br />
We are proud of our multinational<br />
community and the<br />
opportunities this provides for<br />
both teachers and children.<br />
Regular parent and whanau<br />
activities are organised<br />
throughout the year, and we place<br />
an emphasis on a close liaison<br />
between home and nursery<br />
school, which is vital to any child’s<br />
success and progress.<br />
We do hope you find our<br />
Portobelo Avonhead<br />
Preschool and Nursery<br />
A great reputation for exceptional education<br />
and care, at 124 Yaldhurst Road.<br />
Your baby or toddler will have a special<br />
‘primary care’ teacher who will love and care<br />
for them. Our teacher: baby ratios are the best<br />
you will find. Older children are supported in<br />
skills to become life long, curious learners and<br />
problem solvers.<br />
Your child will run, climb<br />
trees, dig, bike, play with<br />
balls, and help tend our<br />
edible gardens in our natural<br />
backyards. Indoors, children<br />
engage purposefully in<br />
sustained play as they learn<br />
with their friends, following<br />
their interests and passions.<br />
As they get older, they will<br />
join “Kura Club” to ease<br />
their journey on to school.<br />
“Respect, Responsibility<br />
and Community” are key<br />
to everything we do in our<br />
centre.<br />
website helpful but encourage you to visit the<br />
nursery school for a full information booklet.<br />
We will be delighted to meet you and your<br />
child, and welcome you to Lindisfarne.<br />

Learning through<br />
experiences,<br />
interactions and play<br />
at Marshlands Nest<br />
Roslyn Eason, fully trained and experienced<br />
early childhood teacher, owns and operates<br />
Marshlands Nest Early Learning Centre which<br />
is an intimate centre with a maximum of 25<br />
children.<br />
Roslyn says “Our goal is to create a setting<br />
where self-esteem, love, learning and respect<br />
for others is prominent and where every child<br />
leaves each day feeling secure and loved in<br />
their special environment.<br />
At Marshlands Nest they create a most<br />
positive environment for children so they can<br />
learn through all experiences and interactions<br />
but most importantly through play.<br />
They have a mixed licence which means<br />
children of different ages play and interact with<br />
each other. It allows siblings to be together<br />
and gives solo children a chance to be part of<br />
a larger family. It also means children do not<br />
need to transition between rooms so can stay<br />
with the same teachers and children.<br />
Marshlands Nest does recognize the need<br />
for age specific learning and a portion of each<br />
day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with<br />
others of the same age.<br />
The team at Marshland Nest would love to<br />
have you as part of their family, please feel<br />
free to drop in or give them a call.<br />
