Absolutely love all of the kaiako at Harewood Montessori! I had a lot of anxiety around leaving my daughter in other people’s care but it didn’t take long for them to reassure me and put me at ease that she is in perfectly capable hands. It’s like one big family, everyone is so kind and lovely and they try to get to know you. We’ve been at Harewood for almost 2 years now and I am constantly recommending to everyone with children that it’s THE best! Always incredibly impressed with their communication and care they have for the whole family.

My two kids started at Harewood Road Montessori just two months ago, and I was truly surprised by how quickly they settled into the new environment. The staff are incredibly helpful and build strong, positive relationships with the children. Their communication is excellent — they keep us updated about anything happening between the kids and inform us promptly about sickness or other important news through Storypark. I also loved how we can have a little book for nursery room to update parents their day going at preschool. My children are much happier at this centre and have learned so much since joining. Highly recommended!

This is a truly exceptional centre. We have two children here and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are very capable and committed to child development. They build awesome relationships with all the children and it’s obvious there’s a great team culture. I love the age appropriate education they provide, the creative activities, the language options (with many of the teachers bi-lingual) and how the teachers genuinely engage and interact with them during free play time. They don’t just supervise, they’re involved. The communication is also great. We are always kept up to date with all the activities via frequent story park posts and photos. Thank you for everything you do. Highly recommend!

Our family has been part of Harewood Road Montessori for almost 6 years, with our second child currently attending, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The teachers are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive to each child’s needs. It’s been wonderful to see how much care they put into helping little ones learn, grow, and gain confidence. Communication with parents is fantastic — we’re always kept up to date through chats, photos, and learning updates. They also take food allergies very seriously, which gives me real peace of mind. The preschool organises lots of fun themed days and cultural celebrations throughout the year. They even had a visit from a police officer recently with police car, and my little one was so excited to tell me all about it! We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, nurturing place where our children truly thrive.

I love this place. The teachers. The rooms. The art. The staff. I'm a bit too big to fit on the slide, but I'm sure it's as fun as it looks. Both of my girls have spent a few years here, and it was the best decision we ever made. My oldest daughter started school, and the teacher commented on how advanced she was. I can honestly give that credit to the prep room team and how much time and effort they put into the kids. I'm going to miss this place once my youngest has moved to school. If you care about your kids and want to help set them up for the best possible start for school or even just a safe and fun place to be during the day..... Well, you have found it.

We transferred our son here from another daycare at age 2. He's about to turn 4 and we love how much progress he has made here! We no longer feel like he's just sent to play with a bunch of kids like his previous daycare. He tells us about all the new things he learns all the time and he loves his teachers.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to enrol our wee girl in Tiggers. She has grown so much since starting, and I truly put that down to the combined efforts of all the staff. The environment is so welcoming and nurturing for not only the children, but for families too. The staff do all they can to support you as parents, it’s such a lovely community to be part of. I find Tiggers quite unique compared to other ECE centres. The staff all truly go above and beyond, and seem so happy in their roles, this really shines through everything they do. Our daughter absolutely loves her teachers, and all the staff! Thanks for all the mahi you do, we’re so fortunate to have found Tiggers and we will highly recommend to others! ❤️
