Welcome to Clever Kids

Childcare & Kindergarten

Clever Kids is a family owned boutique centre in Ashburton, offering high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.


We focus on emotional security, belonging, and personalised learning in a calm, nurturing environment.

Our Story

We opened Clever Kids with one goal in mind: to create a warm and genuine early learning environment where every child feels seen, known and celebrated.

Our small group sizes and consistent educators allow us to build strong, trusting relationships with families and children. We value connection over capacity, quality over quantity.

The Clever Kids Philosophy

At Clever Kids Childcare, we believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. Our approach is inspired by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring your child’s education is delivered in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate.

Our centre offers a holistic, play-based curriculum that encourages children to explore, question, and engage with the world around them. We believe that children learn best through play and real-world experiences, and we support their learning with resources and activities that are both fun and meaningful.

Why Clever Kids?

Unlike larger childcare centres, we pride ourselves on being a boutique 45 place centre with three dedicated rooms. With same faces throughout the week, we have a wonderful team of long standing educators. This consistency allows us to provide a more personal, hands-on approach to each child's care and education. In our intimate setting, your child receives the attention, care, and individual focus they truly deserve.

Small, boutique and nurturing.
