Ages 6 months – 3 years. Phone 544-3918. Paula’s Tiny Tots is located at 2 Cautley Street Richmond, Nelson. Opened in 2006, Paula’s Tiny Tots offers high quality childcare for infant and toddlers from 6 months to 3 years of age. 

We have created a homely environment where families feel welcome and comfortable, children are relaxed and calm and teachers are stress free.  Supervisor Vanessa Gundry has built a fantastic team of educators dedicated to developing educational programmes and an environment specific for children under 3 years old.  The teachers are warm, empathetic and nurturing in their interactions and relationships with the children.  All permanent staff are either qualified early childhood teachers or are teachers in training.

The attractive outdoor area has been specifically constructed to allow for children to freely move about and explore.  Our numerous resources and lots of space indoors allow for young minds to develop and grow.

We believe in quality not quantity.  We are a small centre that focuses on quality interactions between the care provider and the child.
