This is a relaxed, monthly drop-in tour that is designed especially for babies and their caregivers, with a warm understanding that there will be a few noises and interruptions. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a gallery outing alongside other caregivers and their babies, while discovering and learning more about some of the best in contemporary art. No booking required, these sessions are held on the second Monday of each month.

Helmets help protect tamariki from injury as they are learning to explore on wheels. This handy 2-4-1 rule makes sure your child’s head is protected every time they ride their bike, trike or scooter.

Bonus tip: Your child’s helmet needs to be the right size for their head, not one they will grow into.

To all the māmā, step-mums, nans, aunties and caregivers navigating the beautiful mess of caring for others every day, we see you. 💐

We know that the everyday chaos of spills, nappy blowouts and general mayhem doesn't pause for the day, but we hope you're able to take some time to celebrate all the wonderful things you do and feel rewarded. And remember, when it's getting tough, we're always here if you need support.

Happy Mother’s Day from Whānau Āwhina Plunket. 💝

Welcome to Road Safety Week! This week we’ll be sharing tips and advice to help you be your child’s road safety superhero 💪🦸🦸‍♀️

Today’s tip: We often get asked which car seat we recommend! The answer depends on your whānau and factors like the age and size of your tamariki, the vehicle you drive and your budget. Our child restraint technicians will work with you to find suitable options that meet safety standards, fit in your waka, and are suitable for the right stage of growth and development. It’s all about making an informed decision that works for you to keep your little ones safe.

We have child restraint technicians around Aotearoa New Zealand – get more information here: https://bit.ly/42cZCDS
