Hardykids Early Learning Centre & Blossom House Nursery

We are a high quality early childcare centre in the heart of Nelson, situated at 400 Hardy Street East, right across the road from the Centre of New Zealand, a large park and green space.

We operate out of two premises side by side: Our Hardykids purpose built centre caters for children two to six years in age appropriate learning rooms with a attached outside ‘garden’, and our beautiful Blossom House Nursery, a specialised infant and toddler centre right next door. Blossom House Nursery is a renovated villa... a real 'home away from home' for your infant or toddler, with lush gardens, spacious and peaceful play rooms and even fire places to keep warm on those colder days. We are open from 7.30am-5.30pm Monday to Friday, except statutory holidays.
We believe that a caring early childhood education is one of the greatest gifts we can give a child for a good start in life. We are influenced by the philosophy of RIE/Pikler and therefore respect for the child and their whanau as their first teachers is at the heart of everything we do.
