   Love this daycare and truly feel my child is cared for and safe. I’ve had my child at this centre since before the change in management, and to be honest, under the previous owners I often felt unsure if I should start looking for a new daycare. It felt like the owners were checked out, and the only thing that kept me there was the incredible staff who always went above and beyond. Since the transition to Inspire Early Learning Centre Airport Oaks, everything has changed for the better. I genuinely only have positive things to say now. We get regular, meaningful Storypark updates, which really helps us stay connected with our child’s day. The centre is way more involved in the community, and the new owner is present, engaged, and genuinely cares about the children and families. The whole place feels alive, warm, and well-led. I truly love this daycare and couldn’t be happier with the direction Inspire has taken. Highly recommend!

   My daughter started this year and is settled really well. Staff are qualified, registered ECE (early childhood education) teachers, with ongoing professional development. There is noticeable celebration and inclusion of children’s home languages and cultures (Māori, Pacific, etc.). Māori culture is visibly present. Families (“whānau”) are encouraged to participate, share their culture, and help lead experiences. This builds strong relationships between teaching staff, children, and families.

   We are very happy with Inspire Early Learning Center under the new management. The structure and approach look very promising, and it has created a positive environment for the children. My daughter feels very comfortable here, which speaks volumes about the care and support she receives daily. The teachers are highly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. It gives me peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and nurturing hands.

   While the teachers at this school were absolutely amazing and worked wonderfully with my daughters Anastasia and Kayla, the same cannot be said for the accounts & admin department. From start to finish, dealing with the school’s financial side was a nightmare. Payments were made regularly, yet the balances never seemed to change — this wasn’t a one-off mistake, it was a pattern throughout our entire time at the school. We were constantly told there were “errors” or that payments were misapplied, but nothing was ever properly resolved. It’s shocking how poorly the accounts have been handled, and the lack of accountability is unacceptable. Sadly, the admin side completely overshadowed what should have been a positive experience. A huge thank you to the hardworking and caring teachers — but the accounts department needs a complete overhaul.

   My son has been since he was 1 and half. He's now 3 and absolutely loves his friends, his aunties and the fun and cool activities they do in the classroom. He loves the wide open spaces outside where he is free to explore - they put out a lot of stuff for the children to do either on their own, with their friends, or with their teachers. Thanks so much!

   As a first time Mummy, you want to make sure your child is safe, cared for and loved. That's what Nurture + Bloom provided for us! My son started at 5months, they have transition visits which helped me and my son immensely. The Aunties (teachers) are amazing, genuine, loving, kind and caring. They really made our transition a smooth one. My son is now 15months and thriving! Thank you Aunties for the amazing work you do and for always going above and beyond for not just my boy but for me too! You can really feel God's grace and peace in this Centre. I highly recommend.

   Both my girls have attended here and we are so grateful for the love and care that the amazing teachers have provided. The quality of care is of utmost importance and the teachers do go the extra mile. We are so happy with this centre, and love being apart of the Nurture and bloom centre!

   Amazing centre!! I worked here for over a year before regretfully moving towns. The teaching team genuinely loves these children and educate them excellently. They have a great preschool programme to prepare children for school and a beautiful outdoor area too. My nieces still go to nurture and bloom and absolutely love it ❤️ I have nothing but positive things to say about this place!

   I work as a reliever teacher at the centre at the Airport Oaks and I would highly recommend this centre. The teachers here are so lovely and it is such a positive learning environment and this filters down to the children. I have to say it is the best centre that I have ever worked for in the whole of south Auckland. Kirsty and her management team are so lovely and they all make me feel part of the team. Thank you for making me feel part of the “Nurure and Bloom” family.
