It’s more than just after school care… it’s where friendships grow!

One of the best parts of Chill Out is watching friendships blossom.

From playing games and creating together, to sharing afternoon tea, having a laugh and making memories. Our tamariki get to spend their afternoons surrounded by friends!

We love creating a space where every child feels welcome, included and connected.

Need a little more time in your afternoon? We’ve got you!

Our Chill Out After School Care is open until 6pm, giving you that extra bit of breathing room at the end of the day

And the best part? The kids are having an awesome time while they’re with us! From...

Swimming
Baking
Arts & crafts
Fun challenges
And plenty more!

We also offer flexible booking times, so you only pay for the care you actually need:

Whether you need an extra hour to finish work, get the groceries, tackle the to-do list or simply enjoy a little more time in your afternoon — we’ve got you covered!

We have limited spaces and days available!

Welcome to Chill Out, Willow & Te Ao!

We’re so excited to have welcomed our two newest Chill Out kids, Willow and Te Ao!
They joined us at the start of the term and have already settled in amazingly. It’s been so lovely watching them make new friends, get stuck into our activities, and become part of the Chill Out crew!
