Pūmanawa Bishopdale
Learning. Community. Aroha.
With engaging resources, thoughtful provocations, and dedicated teachers, Pūmanawa Bishopdale offers an enriching environment which lays a solid foundation for your child’s educational journey ahead. Our children, parents and whānau come first and we strive to provide a welcoming, supportive and loving environment for all. We offer high teacher to child ratios of 1:3 in our nursery and 1:8 in our preschool, with a fun, experienced and passionate team of early childhood teachers.
We are licenced for 40 children with up to 10 children in the nursery. Our children are empowered to take risks, explore and develop their sense of belonging while making use of our spacious indoor and outdoor facilities.
To find out how you can join Pūmanawa whānau, contact us today and arrange a tour. We look forward to meeting you both and fostering your child’s learning and development which plays a pivotal role in nurturing your child’s journey towards realising their full potential.
