I am looking for part time daycare in wellington city or Mt cook for my son to start in June/July. He will be 8-9months this time.
We need day care within walking distance as DH will be dropping him off and I will have the care as I will start walk at 7am, so it needs to be in wellington city (Te Aro/Courtenay Place end) or Mt Cook to city-end of Newtown.
Does anyone know of a good daycare in these areas?
I am also considering PORSE/Barnados.

WCCCA on Adelaide Road will take from one year (and sometimes a tiny bit before)

Elim International Kids behind Courtney place are excellent. Fay has been there for nearly 2 years and is sooo happy there. They open at 8.

I can't remember if they take under 1s but worth getting on their list if you wanted to.
The cntre is behind the Cambridge Hotel in the side street

Thanks. Unfortunately I need to go back before hes one (my leave finishes before then) so I need somewhere that will take him before then.
I liked the look of ELIM kids and its perfect location for us as its bout a minute walk from DHs work, and opposite where we lived a few months ago. Might try them for next year.

We did Porse for the first year and after 1 disaster we found the perfect carer, she is no longer in the area else I would send you her details. Elim does have a wait list so I would get him on that now, you can always say no nearer the time. From memory we were offered a few carers in the Mt Cook Newtown area. Take time in choosing and try and visit them when they have the kids around so you can judge the environment
Good luck
