We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care our little one received at this daycare. Even though our time here was only a couple of months, it was truly meaningful. The teachers have been so attentive, warm, and patient — we could see every day how deeply they care for the children. In such a short time, our child made so many new friends, created lovely memories, and grew in ways we didn’t expect. The environment is nurturing, welcoming, and genuinely focused on the well-being and development of each child. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, loving, and supportive place for their little ones. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and managers for everything you’ve done for us — we appreciate you more than words can say!

Honestly so sad to be saying goodbye, just want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful teachers and the Centre Manager Janine for creating such a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for my 3 babies . Every day is full of fun, learning, and laughter — it’s clear how much love and effort goes into everything you do. Knowing my babies were in such good hands brings us so much peace of mind. Thank you for all that you do! Definitely will miss seeing everyone

Our daughter joined Active Explorers in 2023 and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The facilities are always clean and inviting, the kitchen always has delicious smells from the on site meals they provide and best part of all, the staff are beyond fantastic! Friendly, warm, welcoming, understanding, and fun! The support they offer not only the tamariki but the parents is the cherry on top! Their reassurance and non judgmental check in when it’s obvious things are stressful has been a very appreciated for me personally. Our little girl is always happy to run to class and has just flourished in her learning journey with the magnificent teachers who support, challenge and encourage her curiosity, confidence and social nature. Every day there is something new set up for her to explore and experience with her friends, and it’s one our favourite times sitting together looking at weekly adventure post from team in the Storypark app! Thank you Team Active Explorers Highbrook!

Our one-year-old daughter absolutely loves attending Active Explorer Highbrook. The teachers are incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, which gave us great peace of mind. She is always happy and engaged with the variety of sensory and creative activities suitable for her age. The facility is clean, safe, and perfectly designed for little explorers. We are so grateful to have found such a caring and supportive place for her first learning experience. Highly recommend.

Best day care! All the staff are lovely. The atmosphere is welcoming. I've had 2 kids enrolled here. One has gone to school now and my second leaves in December. I literally just picked up enrollment forms to enroll my 1year old here. If you're looking for a daycare I highly recommend this one. It's hard to find a daycare where you feel safe to leave your kids. I've had my older 2 enrolled at 3 daycares before I found this one. My kids have become more confident within themselves, they enjoy/ed going to daycare and my one currently still going just adores her teachers. So yes highly recommend :)

It’s been such a pleasure to have our child at Active Explorer’s! Our child began his journey in Kiwi nursery at 8 months and now nearly 2, will be finishing in kakapo Infants. During that time, the team at highbrook have done an amazing job caring, nurturing and growing our child into the child he is today. The level of care you find at this centre is worth every dollar.

As a first time mum, it was overwhelmingly stressful finding the right daycare for my son. The uncertainty of 'who' my son will be cared by was challenging to deal with, however this centre has never let me down. My son has been attending since he was 11 months old and he is now 3.5 years old. To this day I am still grateful that I chose this place as my son's second home. The centre manager (Janine) is incredible, not only does she have the best interest of my son at heart, she has been holding my hand while I navigate my way through the journey of working full time + juggling motherhood. The teaching staff are also incredible, I know that my son has always been, is currently and will always be safe and loved at this centre. I highly recommend Highbrook Active Explorers.

My son has been going here since age one, and he is four now, it’s been so great he loves it. They get to know each child's personality and how they learn best, they create a great learning environment academically my son has thrived and has learnt heaps since going here and also they do science experiments which my son just loves and also learning through play and of course the social side. Just a great safe place to learn. Great Manager Janine and a great team of teachers. We will miss his home away from home when he starts school.

Active Explorers Highbrook is an exceptional Early Educational Centre. Every single teachers, care taker, administrator and the center manager are absolutely amazing. My daughter has been attending there since she was 6months old and I have never had a bad experience. The love and care that these ladies give is unbelievable and they have all become such a big part of her life. They have made my transition back to work so easy because I know my daughter is in the best of best care. If you are looking for a place for your children...look no further!!! Thanks ladies - you are all absolutely awesome. Much love The Burmeisters xx
