Story

We cater for children ages 0 - 5 years approx.
We operate like a public library and are a non profit organistaion. Our members pay an annual fee.
We have no additional charges, except for larger items which are $2 and $5 each for 2 weeks hire.
Each member contributes to the running of the library by doing three to four duties per year as part of the membership.
Casual membership for shorter periods are also available.

Hire larger items to try before you buy them elsewhere.

As a community organisation, we are reliant on grants and other fundraising activities to continue operating. We'd like to take a moment to give a shout out of thanks and acknowledge the support provided by Christchurch City Council, Community Organisation Grants Scheme and the Lottery Grants Board during the year. Their grants have helped contribute towards our rental and other expenses during the year.

We have also received support for our fund-raising activities from the following businesses:

kiwirail, My Food Bag, Mocka, Gecko Press, Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve, Inflatable World and Cadbury.
