OURKIDZ NZ OSCAR
A very warm welcome to our new and improved website.
Quality Child Care Provider Since 2009
​
OurKidz NZ OSCAR has been operational since December 2009, hosting a holiday programme at the Kaiapoi Bulldogs League rooms. The League rooms were badly damaged in the 2010 earthquakes and we had then relocated to the Kaiapoi Borough School. It has been a long and successful journey for us all and we are now at full capacity for this site.
We offer:
-
Before school programme from 7am to 8.30am
-
After school programme from 2.45pm to 6pm or 3pm to 6pm for surrounding school communities.
-
Our holiday programmes operate from 7.30am to 5.30pm daily and an option for families who require a half-day session which ends at 3pm.
OurKidz NZ OSCAR is a Ministry of Social Development (MSD) approved provider and undertake accreditation reviews every two years by a member of MSD Accreditation team. With this accreditation approval we can offer parents/caregivers the opportunity of applying for the OSCAR Subsidy from Work and Income.
OURKIDZ OSCAR ST PATRICKS KAIAPOI
Started in Term 2, 2020
What a wonderful start to our St Patricks Kaiapoi site. We welcomed some new students and their families to our programmes and continue to provide for some existing students and their families. The children love the outdoors so heaps of outside play is mostly enjoyed, and we do have some crafty kiddos who love to design and create various things from time to time.
If you and your children are keen to come by and see what we get up to please feel free to come visit anytime before school 7am to 8.30am and after school 3pm to 6pm.
OURKIDZ OSCAR AMBERLEY
Wow what a couple of exciting weeks we have had so far. Our Amberley site is doing well and we have been super creative. Outside play and swimming is great and having the Domain at the front door is amazing, as well as having the beach just a wee drive away. We are all having so much fun.
OUR SERVICES

Parents lead busy lives, and we are here to alleviate some of the daily stresses by taking care of your children while you are at work. We offer a variety of childcare services, so please browse the options below and get in touch with any questions. Enrolling your children is easy, choose the programme and the days you are needing to have the children cared for. Before and After school programmes are booked every year, for terms 1 through to 4.

BEFORE SCHOOL CARE
7AM TO 8.30AM
Breakfast may be available to the children who get an early start to their school day.
Having a healthy breakfast before starting a school day is linked to improved concentration, increased energy, a higher intake of vitamins and minerals, and even a healthier body weight. Breakfast is especially important for young students whose brains use up about half of the body’s energy.
AFTER SCHOOL CARE
2.50PM TO 6PM
Socializing is important after a day at school.
We understand the importance of caring for your children in a safe and effective way. With all of the activities we provide, parents can rest assured that your children are safe and are given a number of opportunities to explore a wide range of possibilities to have fun.
Please let us know what your childcare requirements are and we can provide an actual weekly cost for your family.

I have been put on maternity leave earlier than I was expecting. Thank you so much for having her, I truly appreciate it and couldn't have advanced at work so far without Oscar!

Thanks for taking such good care of the kids, makes the guilt of being a working mum much more bearable
Jade
I want to thank you all for the care and support we have received while under your wing.
Having no family support in Canterbury has meant access to your programme has been our only lifeline. We love that Brooklyn has had a safe space and we can breathe while he is well cared for.
We really appreciate all that you are, and all that you do.
