Child center in Auckland

“Teachers at Child are all amazing! Thank you guys very much!”

“Pitter Patter is my child’s first daycare. I am so glad that the whole team worked together and made my child very comfortable when he joined. I always receive all the communications related to my son. The management is so nice and friendly and My boy loves to be there all the time.”

“Amazing child care, my son started his day care journey when he was 7 month old but I was not happy with the care taken at previous daycare so when my son was 2.5 year old, I changed his day care and started going at child's time. I always think it would be really amazing if I would have started my son's daycare journey from child's time and not with another day care. Amazing teachers, friendly environment. I do not have enough words to describe how much safe my son feel here.”

“Really thankful for the teachers who are really kind and down to earth. My son is loving his everyday at daycare. Every single day he is learning so much new things. Owner of the daycare is very friendly ❤️. Thanks for the support that teachers have on my son at every single moment.”

“My daughter has been attending giraffes for 7 months now and she loves it. The staff are all wonderful and very attentive to our child’s development, in particular to being prepared to start primary school. It’s a beautiful centre that provides quality care for children I highly recommend this centre.”

“Our son has been going to this daycare since he was 11 month old , it took him sometime to adjust however teachers were really caring and helpful, he has now moved to over 2 yo class and he has been doing really great there, teachers are all caring , he has a special bond with his teacher Usha.❤️.we highly recommend this daycare.”

“I am extremely pleased with the care and support my child receives at Young World Childcare Center. The teachers are nurturing and genuinely invested in helping children grow both mentally and physically. In a short span of time, my son has developed strong social skills and achieved his set milestones, which is truly impressive. One of the things I appreciate most is the daily updates from the teachers, keeping me informed about his activities and progress. They have built a wonderful relationship with my child, making him feel safe, valued, and happy. The warm welcome each morning makes drop-offs so much easier, knowing he is in such caring hands. I highly recommend Young World Childcare Center to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child!”

“As new immigrants to New Zealand, we were quite stressed about how our two-year-old son would manage without us in daycare, especially since both of us work full-time. It was our first time leaving him in a care center, but Pitter Patter has been absolutely amazing. The staff are wonderful and handle our son with such care and attention. He’s learning so much every day, and we no longer worry about his meals, sleep, or how he’s adjusting in a new country. Pitter Patter has truly made this transition easier for our family....”

“As a new mom, finding a kindergarten that puts your heart at ease is a blessing. Folkestone Street day care has become a true extension of our family. It's multicultural, nature-oriented, and nothing beats the sight of the children having their afternoon tea under the trees, listening to the birds. Highly recommend!”

“After a long search we finally settled on sending our 20 month old to Creative Minds and we are stoked with our decision to send her here. The center has such a lovely, welcoming vibe and all the children looked really happy and confident. Jodie’s calm, experienced approach helps ease the littlies into a great routine. Shabana is an excellent, hands-on manager who puts your mind at ease and knows exactly what each child has been up to. The carers are all wonderful, especially Gemma, Latiesha and Lisa, who are always smiling and make drop-offs a breeze. Creative Minds may not bombard us with constant app updates, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. The team is so focused on giving our girl their full attention—they’re present, caring, and genuinely engaged. We never feel like we’re missing out because they always take the time to chat and share what she’s been up to. Our daughter comes home happy, well-fed, and bubbling with excitement. We low-key want to keep this place to ourselves — but the team works so hard and deserves every bit of recognition. Thank you, Creative Minds for creating such a special space!”

“Our daughter absolutely loves coming to Kids Cove Newmarket! She has been attending for the past 9 months, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are so friendly and caring, and the environment is fun, educational, and safe. We've seen great improvement in her confidence and language skills. So grateful to have found this wonderful place!”

“Love love love this centre. My son's been going since he was 7months old and he's now nearly 3 years old. Massey childcare has the most lovely and welcoming teachers. All are so fun and they genuinely care about the whole family not just the child attending. Hiiighly highly recommend and fees are super reasonable too! ☺️”

“went here when I was little lovely place have heaps of good memories digging pits all that type of stuff was good fun would recommend this place 100% lovely staff would definitely take my kids here”

“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.”

“This one gave me a very clean and warm impression. The teachers who take care of the children are very responsible! There are a lot of toys for the children. It is very clean and spacious. It is not like some old kindergartens that get dirty after a long time. In short, the children are happy and I feel relieved. I recommend it~~”

“I can only highly recommend Dr. Emma - she is very experienced and fantastic with kids. She is warm and really personable and has been wonderful for our family. I could not imagine seeing anyone else.”

“Friendly staffs and well organized atmosphere:) Healthy meals and tea for children provided by a cook. I like especially Christian teaching:)”

“We've just moved to manurewa and was on the hunt for a daycare for my 3month old and 4 yrs old girls. I've been to every close by daycare centre but I've chosen Star for my girls. One main important thing that I looked out for today when I was looking for a daycare was mainly their facilities and staff might I stress this out because I want my girls especially my 3month old in safe hands. So my girls will be starting here soon. Cheers guys great work lovely staff must say I'm comfortable for my babies to come here. Nga mihi.”

“Our whānau had begun the transition into Nurserydale’s care but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to stop our enrolment, however I wanted to leave a review still because of the wonderful centre that it is. All the staff were super kind and you can tell that all the children are truly happy, engaged and thriving here, with tons of resources and learning through play activities. The way that the children have one main teacher for their entire stay at the centre is truly something special. What really won is over was the staffs confidence in te reo Māori, which was obvious as many of the children use kupu Māori in their speech often, and all with perfect pronunciation. It’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out be we are very grateful for Nurserydale’s kindness and support. Ngā mihi nui”

“Very good memories. Apparently they're gone now? I remember in 2005 playing Halo and watching violent action movies (with parent's permission) lol”

“We love little learners, we send our two boys there and they love it, teachers are caring , environment really natural and nice, and also food is very healthy.”

“I couldn’t speak more highly of A Child’s Place. We enrolled our one-year-old son after a tough experience at a previous centre, so I was naturally cautious. But Megan and the incredible infant room team went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, settled, and genuinely cared for. One thing that really stood out to us was the primary caregiving model — having a consistent teacher who took the lead in building a strong bond with our son made a huge difference, especially as he wasn’t very familiar or comfortable with others in the beginning. He now looks forward to daycare each day — his face lights up at the mention of his teachers’ names, he runs off happily at drop-off, and I’m always greeted with the biggest smile at pick-up. The teachers are constantly engaged with the kids — whether they’re on the floor reading, outside exploring, or sitting alongside them at mealtimes, you can tell the care is genuine. The centre itself is always spotless and well-organised, and the team are incredibly responsive to any needs or changes we’ve raised. We were especially grateful for the support and advice they offered when we were navigating some sleep struggles. The care and attention to detail in sharing updates, milestones (big and small), and daily happenings make it feel like so much more than just childcare — it’s a true community and family. I’ll be forever grateful to Megan, Ross, and the team for creating such a warm, nurturing environment, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Child’s Place to anyone”

“My 1 yr old daughter attends 'Froggies' and absolutely loves it! The team there are attentive, kind and have helped her grow and learn so much over the past 6 months. Would highly recommend to any parent looking for a childcare centre in East Auckland”

“Te Korowai Kindi is a fantastic place for kids, providing a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment. A special thanks to the amazing staff, especially Kuldeep Kaur and her colleagues, for their dedication and hard work. Last year’s Christmas celebration at the Botanical Gardens in Manurewa was truly magical! The magic show brought so much joy and excitement to the kids, making it an unforgettable experience. The effort and love the team puts into every event and daily care are truly commendable. Highly recommend this kindi for parents looking for a caring and supportive place for their children! — Inderjeet Singh Pandher”

“Excellent dentist for kids. After going to another dental practice with no help, we came here for a second opinion. The dentist was very friendly and professional. The dentist correctly diagnosed our child and gave us a management plan to help with the recovery. They made an appointment the same day when we called.”

“I really liked the services they provided. I called in the morning to explain my son's toothache. The receptionist accommodated us with a 15-minute slot to see the doctor. We were fortunate that the doctor saw him, and they made an immediate decision to extract the tooth. I really appreciate Dr. Hannah; she did an amazing job”
