   Do not recommend as my friend had a really bad experience here. She felt harrassed and uncared for and pushed out. Some teachers here are awesome and lovely with the kids but others are not. Update 2023: I have not disclosed my friends name as she has asked me not to so I don't see the need to respond to your contact attempts. Her child was 1yr when they left. She became friends with a teacher who since left and told her the manager told them to "oversell" her child being unhappy so she felt compelled to leave the center when they moved house. We also note that all the teachers that were there at the time, have since left this center. This may mean it is better now, but I cannot comment on that.

   Old Macs truly is a home away from home. In our time at the centre we have always felt welcome, cared for and our children treasured. I firmly believe that a daycare should be an extension of your family, and old Mac’s is just that. They listen to your parenting style, they listen to your children and they go forth in a way that ALWAYS places your child as number 1. I have never felt more at peace with a daycare centre that cares for my children when I can’t than I do with Old Macs. Everything is always dealt with in an appropriate manner and in good time frames. If you want to see love in action between Kaiako and children then you need to visit Old MacDonalds

   Old MacDonalds is truly a home away from home for my boys and I. I could not be more grateful for their care and aroha. The environment is amazing, and better yet the Kaiako are dedicated, loving, passionate and each one of them is there for exactly the right reasons. They constantly go above and beyond and each child is seen, recognised and cherished for exactly who they uniquely are. It is a strong team of people who care deeply and only want what is best for each child. I could not be happier with our time there and with the love and dedication that is given to my two boys. Absolutely amazing centre filled with the most incredible team of people x

   A one of a kind centre!! Old Macs is truely a home away from home for our kids. From the moment you walk in, the special Old Macs feeling hits you. You are always greeted by the teachers and other team members and they make you feel so welcome and taken care of. Every aspect of the centre and their philosophy is so well thought out and allows your children to thrive while being supported and cared for in such a loving and considered way. The way these teachers manage to always make time (whilst still engaging with other little ones around them, superhero’s!) to tell you something special about your child’s day is an added bonus! The way the centre operates, communicates with whānau and all its carefully considered policy’s continuously blows me away. Our experience here has been nothing but fantastic! Highly highly recommend!
