Who we are

Kia ora, and welcome to Lovely Lotus.

We are a boutique, multi-cultural early childhood centre based in Awapuni, Palmerston North.

Just a stones throw from West-End School, and close to Awapuni and Riverdale schools, our location is very convenient, and easy to access from College Street - close to Botanical Road.

We provide education and care for children from 3 months to 6 years old, 7:30am- 5:30am, Monday to Friday.

We also have a full-time chef and provide food for your child(ren), including vegetarian, halal, and other dietary and cultural requirements. Meals are included in our very competitive fees.

If you are looking to return to work and would like a caring, attentive, and inspiring environment for your child, hit the button below and get in touch to schedule a visit.

Alternatively, pop in during opening hours - we’d love to meet you and your child and show you around our spaces.

Fees are $8.90/hour, including food. Bookings are for up to 10 hours per day, and full-time weekly fees are capped at $219 for children over 3 and $339 for children under 3.

Please talk to our Centre Manager regarding special pricing for full-time (30 hours per week) enrolments for under-twos.

WINZ Subsidies are available at Lovely Lotus and 20 hours free ECE is available for children aged from 3-6 years old. Please enquire.
