Minimee has been a godsend for our family! Our boy has always been so happy here and just loves his teachers. The owner has always done her best to facilitate any changes in days/times etc where possible, and overall we find it to be a happy and nurturing environment. Always doing new activities and lots of events for the whole family. Highly recommend to anyone considering this daycare!

I'd give more stars if I could! We are SO sad to be leaving!
From the very beginning, Monisha and the team at Minimee were so welcoming and reassuring which I really valued as a new parent.
The community fostered at Minimee is lovely and I felt very included in my daughter's learning, and loved seeing regular personalised updates from the centre.
My daughter attended Minimee from 8 months old. She is now nearly two and has thrived there. She has made some lovely friends among the staff and children alike and my biggest regret in moving out of Auckland is that we will both miss Minimee so much! Thank you Monisha and everyone in the Toe Toe room x

We have been at Minimee for 6 years and have had both children in their care from ages 1-5. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Beautiful staff, beautiful facilities with a beautiful sea view. Monisha the owner/manager is sincere, gentle, patient and loving. Both her and the teachers have offered unmeasurable support and love to not only my children but myself as a parent. If you are looking for a daycare I can tell you, you can trust these guys, it truely is a wonderful place. They go above and beyond.
Some examples - Monisha dropped around doughnuts to our house during lockdown. This last Friday there was a petting zoo with pony rides. They often do walking trips to the local parks. Their in house cook creates lovely meals every day. They regularly celebrate different cultures and occasions in creative ways. And they thoroughly prepare the preschoolers to transition easily into primary school.
10/10. Very sad that our time with them is over xx

My two children have both attended Minimee and we love it! Could not recommend it enough. I visited several daycares and as soon as we walked into Minimee I knew this was the right place for us. My eldest has been here since he was 6 months old and he loves it and knows all the teaches so well. Such a beautiful set up and amazing food for the kiddies.

We’ve had our two sons through Minimee between the ages of almost 2 and almost 5 over a 3 year period. Monisha is phenomenal in her approach to keeping the tamariki safe, grounded and happy. She somehow seamlessly moves between the role of Centre Manager (owner/operator) and full time furniture for the little ones to snuggle into. The wider Minimee team are an all star cast of talent and genuine care for the kids, while also encouraged to be themselves and connect with the kids in different ways. Impromptu face painting and hair styling with energetic educators was always a favourite. Having an In-house chef (but not anyone… having Angoma!) is a wonderful addition to ensure that the kids are fed, but also that they are exposed to different foods outside the home/family routines at early ages. We particularly adore the Minimee meal time rituals and it is handy not to have to make lunchboxes each day. But having Angoma in the kitchen, interacting with the tamariki, sometimes collaborating on meals, and talking to them about Kai, is just fabulous for everyone involved. Overall there is a great balance between policy and individual care and planning for each child and each whanau. We’ve moved on now, but Minimee is a very special place and I can’t recommend enough - hence the gushing review.

We love Minimee and we can’t recommend it highly enough. The space is lovely and the teaching philosophy is thoughtful and supportive. The food is perfect for little ones and the teachers are wonderful.

We moved our 3.5 year old daughter to Minimee from elsewhere and were a little bit apprehensive about how the change would go, but the transition could not have been more perfect. The environment is so welcoming and teachers are affectionate and engaged. Our daughter now often does not want to leave at the end of the day and asks to go on the weekend, as she loves her Minimee.

Minimee is our daughters home away from home which is important to us knowing that she is getting the care and support she needs to flourish into who she wants to be. The teachers are like an extension of our antenatal coffee group, I can ask them questions and get great tips and tricks in helping navigate being parents and supporting the development of our happy girl. Each day at drop off our daughter is welcomed with open arms and big smiles. I couldn’t recommend Minimee enough and I feel so grateful knowing my daughter is well looked after every day by her teachers and her little friends.

MiniMee has become our second home and my daughter loves her days spent here playing, learning and connecting with her teachers and peers. We have felt the staff so approachable and friendly with attentiveness and individual care set to a very high standard. As a parent I am so happy to have found a centre where I feel my child is safe and also happy to be.

After a long journey to starting our family, the placement of our precious girl into daycare was a huge decision for us. The minimee ethos met all of our hopes, with a focus on child centric care, small classroom numbers, dedicated teaching team and a family style community, we were thrilled to enroll. The teachers have been caring and patient with both our daughter and with us, and have been there to help answer our questions and provide great advise. We highly recommend minimee and the fantastic team.
