Child care in Auckland

“Wonderful kindergarten with very friendly and caring teachers!!!”

“My son attended Bayview Kindergarten and he absolutely loved it. My daughter is there also and about to 'graduate' to school. I have found the teachers competent, caring, and absolutely lovely. The environment is top quality and the growth and development of both my children in their time there is noticed and appreciated. Thanks”

“My daughter goes to Oaktree and absolutely loves it. Such a beautiful environment- inside and out. The outside is like an oasis with beautiful trees and gardens. It is so spacious. The teachers are so nurturing, friendly and passionate. You feel a sense of belonging as soon as you walk in. Oaktree is like a second home. All teachers are fully qualified and first aid trained which as a parent is very comforting. She learns so much and love learning from her and the teachers too. I have learnt so much about cultural celebrations and sustainability!”

“I was invited and had the pleasure of attending a family event at this kindergarten together with parents and children, and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The teachers and staff created a lovely environment where everyone felt included and comfortable. A truly heart-warming experience that reflects the wonderful community spirit of the kindergarten!”

“Very good kindergarten, the children are very happy to play there every day, rich indoor and outdoor entertainment facilities, and the teachers arrange different activities every day, and there is also a handicraft room for children who like handicrafts to find their own fun. Children can also have their own small plants, cultivate and grow together. Please don’t forget the toys in the sandpit. Even if it is raining outdoors, children can sing happily indoors. A very loving kindergarten.”

“Amazing space and teachers! My son loved it and it was a second home to him. The outdoor playground is fantastic”

“I enjoyed getting to know the teachers here and the time my kids spent here learning and developing. They helped my children with their confidence in themselves and social environments which helped a lot. It is a kind, motivating, caring kindergarten which I will always remember and if I ever have anymore kids I will enrol them here. I love the kindy, teachers and parents I got to meet and i will miss them alot!”

“Highly recommended. You guys are the best!”

“The best kindergarten in the history of kindergartens!”

“The Secret Garden is awesome, the staff are warm and friendly and the care and attention they give each individual child is second to none. The children are constantly learning so many different things, both physically and academically in such a fun, hands on and stimulating environment. Preparation for school is outstanding. I am a grandparent of a child here, and every day he asks if today is a preschool day as he would be there 24/7 if he could! I am very grateful to all the staff and so thankful that he attends this wonderful positive adventure of preschool at The Secret Garden.”

“LOVE Country Bears! Love the staff, love the ethos, love the vibe, the activities, location and set up, rave about it to all who will listen. Thanks to Jeds teachers to, you're the best!”

“What a fantastic Pre School, Amazing teachers and a great start to any little persons educational life.”

“I can not speak more highly of the wonderful staff at The No.1 Kindy. They have created such a kind, caring and nurturing environment for children with their obvious passion and enthusiasm for what they do. The staff have a such a great working relationship that filters down to the kids, who just seem to love being there. It has made my return to work so much smoother knowing my child is happy, learning and so well cared for. Thanks ladies! You are amazing.”

“My girls absolutely love being here! They are constantly coming home with new skills!!!!no other centre compares!”

“From the moment we stepped into Murrays Bay Childcare Centre, it felt like home. Originally, we had planned to enroll our daughter elsewhere, but her immediate affection for this center was undeniable. It was love at first sight. T settled in quickly, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment provided here. The teachers at MBCC are exceptional. They've not only embraced T but have also fostered a deep connection with her. It's evident that they genuinely care for each child's well-being and development. The atmosphere is consistently calm, creating a serene backdrop for learning and play. The environment is so inviting that some days, I find myself wishing I could be a child again and experience it firsthand. Overall, Murrays Bay Childcare Centre has exceeded all our expectations. We feel grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our daughter to grow and thrive.”

“One of best best daycare. My son definitely missing his teachers and environment. My son (Enric) started with this daycare when he was 5mon old. All teachers are amazing. It’s hard to find similar daycare in South Auckland”

“Coatesville Lollipops is an outstanding daycare. My son has been attending since he was 1.5 years old, and we've loved every moment. We chose this daycare for its wonderful country vibe and the strong, caring relationships the teachers have with the children. My son is always excited to go, and he’s constantly discovering new things. He especially enjoys the activities like baking, gardening, messy play, and arts and crafts.”

“Best daycare ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My daughter had spent a wonderful 3 years here. She has grown from a shy little girl to a confident big girl. She loves daycare so much and would be upset during holidays as she couldn’t go to daycare. She’s in primary school now, but she still misses daycare a lot and always asks for visiting daycare. Thanks to the awesome team of Our Family Early Learning! It’s a very inclusive environment that makes everyone feels like part of it.”

“I am very happy with this childcare. The staff offer a friendly, caring approach to looking after my grandson. He is always happy to be dropped off.”

“Stella kids has been great for our two kids. Healthy meals, a homely environment and the best back yard! Lots of fun nature play we will miss you all when we go to school!”

“My daughter is really happy here, and we’ve had such a great experience. The teachers are caring, creative, and passionate—you can tell they truly love what they do. The space is big and welcoming, with plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The facilities are great too. Definitely recommend!”

“My youngest has been with Kumeu childcare centre since he was 7 months old. He's 3 years old now. Leaving him in care was so hard and something I truly didn't want to do, but I'm sure a lot of us can relate to needing to work to get by. The teachers in the baby room were reassuring and loving. They worked with me to make us both comfortable. They allowed him the space to explore his interests, which can't have been easy as they mostly circled around how fast and how high could he go. He's been through the middle room and is now in the big kids room and the experience has been consistent. Collaboration, genuine care. My little boy is a bundle of energy, hes fast, hes daring, hes loud, and they honour this in him and provide a safe environment to develop in. Both the teaching and administration team have shown great care and compassion for us both over the years and I am so grateful to them all for taking such good care of my wee man.”

“Very friendly staff. Kiddo loves the teachers and has a blast every day. Multi-lingual teachers. Frequent Community activities. Great families.”

“The team has been nothing but welcoming to my son and I. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving him with people he didn't know, but they are so warm and caring that my son took a liking to the teachers very quickly and that put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Aspirations!”
