Playtime is on again tomorrow at St Hildas Island Bay
We are open again tomorrow (Tuesday) for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers from 9.00 to noon. Text your friends and meet up for a coffee at our place - 311 The Parade - where your child can enjoy a whole range of sensory experiences and activities. We have things for all ages including indoor and outdoor play areas, a safe play pen area for babies, and ride-ons for older pre-schoolers. Drop in any time and let us know what you would like in our programme. All we ask is that you bring a smile, your child's requirements, and a koha for the heating and refreshment costs.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles
Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael
