Welcome to Millie's House, 85 Armagh St
Nau mai kia kainga o Millie’s House. Welcome to Millie’s House.
We are here Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm. We are able to open for longer if required.
We are exceptionally lucky to have been able to recreate the historic Magistrates' Court in central Christchurch into a beautiful early learning environment for babies, toddlers and young children.
Our location facing the stunning river Avon is magic. There on the hill sits this most gorgeous building brimming with enchantment and is home to our Millie’s House children.
Our ‘Millie’s Court House’ has been carefully refurbished with children, fun, comfort and safety in mind, whilst retaining and including many of the original enchanting features and textures of stone, wood panelling, beautiful ceilings, fixtures and fittings. It is a collaboration of old and new for our young ones.
A part of the Millie’s ethos is to keep group sizes small and intimate – especially when the children are young, so Millie’s Court House was designed to keep group sizes small and with great ratios, well above regulation. Our smallest babies are cared for in our Ahuru learning space, cared for with one teacher to three or four babies, our under two year old groups in our Tairanga and Kaha learning spaces have one teacher to four children. For our two-year olds in our Tuhura learning space, we plan for one teacher to six children and our three and four year olds in Tuhura and Aki, we plan for one teacher to eight children.
The outdoor spaces are large, beautiful, and textured. How many centres do you know that have a river running past it and overlook a park? It is a wonderful place for children to sit and talk on a hill, enjoy the play structures, wallow in sand and invent ideas.
What People Say About Millie’s House Armagh St, Christchurch City
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Millies house. From the very beginning, the teachers have been caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in my daughter's growth and happiness. She has formed such special bonds with her teachers, and it's clear how much they care about each child.

Our two daughters are in Millies. Its so cool that our youngest gets to share the same teachers our eldest had. So much comfort knowing the teachers already; they know all the families too - amazing kaiako! The centre has a great chef too. Bonus points for having a great outdoor section, the girls love it!
Ash
As an immigrant family without support from extended relatives, life can be really challenging — but Millie’s House has made such a difference for us. The team truly does everything they can to support our family and make it possible for us to work with peace of mind. We’ve had such a positive experience and are so grateful for the care and dedication they show every day.
