Small, local and welcoming

A welcoming early learning centre in Matamata, created with children and families in mind.

What we’re about

Real, hands-on play. Strong connections with whānau. Kaiako who know every child. These are the things that matter to us and shape every day at Rose & Clive.

Right here in Matamata

Rose & Clive is built on one belief: early learning should feel personal. Children are happy here, parents are involved, and real relationships are part of everyday life.

Room to play, space to grow

Being a small centre means familiar faces, time to get to know every child and a relaxed, welcoming environment. It’s a place where tamariki can be themselves, follow their interests and grow at their own pace.

The people behind the hello

Today, Rose & Clive is brought to life by a caring, qualified team led by Centre Manager Caitlin Pollock. Together, they make every day feel welcoming, familiar and full of opportunity.
A note from the owners

We’re Waikato through and through, and we love raising our own tamariki here. As parents, we know how much these early years matter. Rose & Clive is our way of giving every child a warm, happy start, surrounded by people who really care.
