A Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said a call came in about the fire at 11.38am and eight fire trucks attended.
"The fire has been extinguished and a fire investigator has been requested to attend," she said.
The building, which houses Auckland's Best Childcare Centre, has been fully evacuated.
There are no reports of injuries.
