Welcome to Rockmybaby Childcare Centre Havelock North
Nestled in the heart of Havelock North village, our locally owned and operated childcare centre is a warm, welcoming space where tamariki and their whānau come together to learn, grow, and thrive.
At Rockmybaby® Havelock North, we believe that children are at the centre of everything we do. Our play-based learning approach supports tamariki to explore, create, and discover in an environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. Every day, we encourage children to take the lead in their own learning journey, building confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.
Our team of passionate kaiako is dedicated to nurturing the wellbeing of every child, while also providing home-cooked meals made with care to ensure the children are well nourished throughout the day.
Here, we see every child as unique, and our centre is designed to be a safe and enriching space for children aged 0-5 years to develop, explore, and form meaningful connections with each other and their environment.

Koru Room
Our Koru Room is a calm, nurturing space thoughtfully designed to support the learning, care, and development of our youngest tamariki.
In these precious early years, every moment matters. Our dedicated teaching team brings warmth, expertise, and a deep understanding of infant and toddler development. Each kaiako has been carefully chosen for their passion and commitment to responsive, respectful care, ensuring your little one feels safe, secure, and valued every day.
Through a gentle rhythm of play, rest, and care, our youngest learners are supported to build strong, trusting relationships and to explore the world around them at their own pace. We embrace each child’s unique journey, recognising the importance of emotional security, sensory experiences, and meaningful connection in laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Mana Room
Our Mana Room is a vibrant, engaging space designed for our older tamariki as they continue to grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity.
Here, play is purposeful. Our kaiako support tamariki to follow their interests, ask questions, solve problems, and explore the world around them through hands-on, play-based experiences. We foster a sense of wonder and encourage tamariki to express themselves, build friendships, and develop key skills for lifelong learning.
The learning environment is thoughtfully arranged to invite exploration and challenge, while also offering moments of calm and reflection. Children are empowered to make choices, develop their ideas, and take increasing responsibility for themselves and others. Guided by Te Whāriki, our team embraces each child’s unique strengths and cultural identity, creating a warm, inclusive space where tamariki are respected, heard, and celebrated.

“We have absolutely loved being part of the rockmybaby whanau and know we will miss it so much. Tilly has loved her time there, all the staff have been so amazing and really appreciate the support we received while starting Tilly & then transitioning to the mana room. It really is the best centre with the best staff! Definitely one aspect of Hawke’s bay that we will miss a lot. ”
