Uptown Kids Childcare is located in a character-filled bungalow that has a homely feel that the children love - their home away from home. Uptown Kids is perfectly situated for families who live, work near, or commute through Epsom, Newmarket, Mt Eden and Greenlane.







The government’s 20 Hours ECE subsidy for 3, 4 and 5 year old children is available. We support FamilyBoost, which is a childcare tax rebate of up to $75 per week on the costs of childcare, beginning in July 2024. Some families may also qualify for the WINZ childcare subsidy, which is dependent on income. We can provide more information if needed.





The backyard is a sprawling haven where children can revel in outdoor play amidst tranquil natural surroundings.

A beloved activity among the children is crafting their bespoke obstacle courses, complete with ladders, bridges, tunnels, planks, boxes, and slides. Additionally, they delight in pedaling around on trikes, exploring the expansive sandpit, picking and savoring guavas from the tree, and relishing storytime sessions sprawled on the grass beneath the pohutakawa tree.


"Today is our (big) little boy Theo’s last day at your centre. We just wanted to write this note in appreciation of all the love, care and attention you have given our little man. We cannot express the gratitude we feel towards you all and we hope you know what amazing work you put in every day with the kids – and especially our little man. As first-time parents, we were overwhelmed with the challenge of finding somewhere to look after Theo with Robyn’s return to work. Especially with our slightly alternative desire to use cloth nappies and Theo’s dietary requirements. We had looked at several places before looking at Uptown Kids, but to be honest there was no competition. As soon as we entered Uptown Kids it was like we were home. The way you welcomed us in with open arms, answered all our questions before we even asked them (and we had plenty to ask! Lol) and made us feel at ease and that nothing was too much to ask is just what we needed to hear. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and with the Whanau at Uptown Kids that couldn’t be truer. Theo has thrived, developed and you have all helped shape him into the beautiful, confident and caring boy he is today. And for that we will be forever grateful! Ana – You are part of the fabric of Uptown Kids and we will never forget the times you just spent sitting with and comforting Theo when he was unwell or upset. Paula – Thank you for being kind and generous with everyone this last year. COVID-19 has shaped all our lives in different ways, but we appreciated your clear and open communication throughout. We also never felt that the dollar drove your actions, and for that as an owner we feel you should be commended. We wish you all the best in the future and will keep you all updated on Theo’s progress. We will all miss you, but for now it is on to a new chapter which we know you have all helped prepare Theo for! "
