Just minutes from the beach and Bayfair Shopping Centre, New Shoots Bayfair offers families a relaxed, nature-inspired space where tamariki thrive. Our small group sizes, nurturing kaiako and calm, coastal aesthetic create an environment that feels both homely and inspiring.
Five years of careful design have shaped spaces that flow seamlessly between indoors and outdoors. Tamariki explore sand, water, and climbing challenges beneath our wave-shaped canopy — encouraging movement, discovery and confidence in all weather.
Every family’s routine looks different. Our 8.30am–3.30pm School Hour Sessions offer greater flexibility for whānau looking for quality early learning within school hours.
Tamariki can enjoy the same nurturing care, meaningful learning experiences, nourishing meals and welcoming New Shoots environment, with the choice of full-day or school-hour sessions.
To learn more about our School Hour Session options, availability and fees, get in touch with us.
Inside, warm natural materials and soft tones set the stage for purposeful play and meaningful learning. Our kaiako nurture each child’s curiosity through rich conversations, storytelling and early literacy experiences woven into everyday routines. From these foundations grow strong language skills, social confidence and a love of learning that prepares tamariki for their next steps at school and in life.
Nestled within Salt, a contemporary living village, our centre is surrounded by green spaces, a café and a welcoming neighbourhood. Here, community isn’t just where we’re located. It’s part of our curriculum. Our kaiako connect tamariki with the people and places around them through storytelling, visits, and projects that reflect local culture. By building these relationships, children develop language, identity and a deep understanding of belonging.
