“We've been with Mighty Minds for almost 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My little one is learning so much, with a great balance struck between playing and education. The teachers and administration are highly communicative, with an all-around happy environment. Since we started, we have moved suburb and the one place we're not moving is childcare - the high standard is absolute gold dust.”
“From the moment we stepped into Busy Bees Ormiston Road, we felt welcomed and at ease knowing our child was in such a nurturing and safe environment. The staff, particularly Christine the Administrator, are invaluable, incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely care for the children. We've seen our child blossom in their care, becoming more confident and social. The center's activities are engaging and educational, and we appreciate the regular communication and updates we receive. We highly recommend Busy Bees Ormiston Road to other parents seeking a loving and supportive childcare setting."”
“A fantastic centre with warm, caring staff and owners who are genuinely invested in delivering the best experience for the kids. My daughter loves it and is so happy to attend. Daily updates on what the kids have been up to that day and great comms all around. We are so lucky to be part of such an amazing daycare!”
“We are very happy with Lollipops. Our son has been going here for a little over a year now and he just loves it. The staff are friendly and have always tried their utmost to accommodate our requests. The teachers are just amazing too! They are gentle, kind, and patient - to nurture my son's curiosity for science and nature, they have even set up special experiments. The classrooms are well-equipped with a wide variety of toys and activities for the children. The learning themes for each month are communicated clearly, and we get regular updates about what our son and his classmates are getting up to and learning about each week. It is so reassuring to know that he is having lots of fun while learning, and that he is being cared for and fed so well.”
“Love this community space. We book it for our Toastmasters club every 2nd Thursday morning. It's been perfect for us. Highly recommend”
“The teachers are amazing and my child loves it there. The teachers look after the children so well. I'm so happy about the decision we made.”
“Thank you for your hard work in supporting my son as they develop. Your patience and commitment to supporting my child has meant a lot to our family. With your guidance, our son has developed into a confident and capable child. Thank you for being such an important part of our child’s development. Your expertise in teaching (specially Sashi, Anita, Linda, Parul, Tina) has put our minds at ease. We are so grateful to have you as our child’s teacher. Our child’s literacy and numeracy skills have improved considerably under your care. Thank you for helping them develop the skills and confidence they’ll carry forward. Your play-based learning approach is amazing! It’s been a pleasure watching our child grow this year. We appreciate the effort you put into each child in your class. Thank you for being a caring and important part of our lives. My son enjoyed his first trip to museum a lot. Thanks to Sashi as she keeps our spirits up all the time and constantly connected our child with our religious traditions. Special Thank you Anita as my son had special bond with you and always happy when he sees you. We are well aware of the effort you put into each child in your class. Thank you for going above and beyond. Your commitment and love for our child are truly appreciated. We couldn’t be more thankful to have had you in our lives.”

Good for birthdays, classes, community meetings, weddings, and offices. The team is very responsive, helpful, and friendly”
“Secret Garden is one of the best childcare in the area. Splendid environment and kau kaiako are so nice and professional. Strongly recommended!”
“My daughter had enjoyed Go banana for more than 2 years . Teachers are friendly and care. She don’t want to go anywhere else .”
“Highly recommend Lollipops Orewa for childcare. The teachers are all very professional and caring, and provide a fun and educational experience for the children. They also have lots of activities throughout the year which whanau are encouraged to be involved in. If you are after a small, caring centre that feels like home then this is the place. Both my children absolutely adore it.”
“Highly recommended place for your kids!! Teachers are very observant and caring, environment is neat and clean and the food is absolutely yum all the time. The wide variety of activities for the kids is next level, our son enjoys taking part in the activities. I can clearly see the positive changes in our son, thanks to lollipops team.”
“Awesome centre with super friendly and amazing teachers. Centre Manager Shetal always has a huge smile on her face and always welcoming. She has been awesome to deal with especially with changing timetables every week(due to shift work), always quick to clarify any questions we’ve had. My children enjoy going and always have an amazing time! Overall a great place and would definitely recommend it!”
“Our son started at lollipops Lynfield a month before he turned one. It’s a dreadful experience for any parent when they first drop off their kid but the team at Lollipops Lynfield was so understanding and kind and helped with this transition in a amazingly kind and thoughtful way-we can’t speak more highly of them. A year later -Our son loves going here and we trust the team and couldn’t ask for more.”
“My daughter learned a lot from this day care. Teachers helped her to achieve her goals one by one. She is growing her skills to join school soon. I have noticed big change when she started and now she understands the way how to engage socially and how to listen her teachers and sit properly in the class. Well done all kauri room teachers. She loves her all teachers. Thanks bianca, Jas, sofia, sandeep, whoever else helps her to developing her skills. Really appreciated your hard work.”
“Really enjoying our experience at BestStart Birkdale. The teachers listen and actively engage with us, send up great updates, and take the time to help work through any issues (namely our baby's sleep at daycare). Highly recommend.”
“BestStart Mt Eden consistently delight me with the kind, nurturing and enriching environment Ludi and her team create for the children in their care across both Pipi and Paua. Both my children have attended both Pipi (under 2's) and Paua (Over 2's) and my little one is still at Paua. The team work really hard to create a safe and fun environment that inspires curiosity and offers plenty of stimulus for creative young minds. Can't speak more highly of Ludi and her team - they're straight up awesome.”
“Amazing staff, my son loves it. Highly recommended”
“The best experience I habe had with a daycare. The manager and staff take the extra time and care to get to know your child as well as making sure they incorporate your family ideals into everyday life. Communication between staff and whanau is 10/10.”
“We researched nearly every daycare in the Papakura and Franklin area, and decided on Peter Pan Daycare in Opaheke/Papakura. The location is very good, as it's on Great South Road and 2 minutes from the motorway and train station, so convenient for pick up / drop off. We initially had our daughter in another daycare, however decided that Peter Pan was a better fit for her so transitioned her over when she was around 18 months old. We always liked the Montessori type philosphy around education, and we felt this daycare had a similar type of feel and approach. We were very nervous about moving our daughter to another daycare, but we felt so supported through the transition period and the Centre Manager and teachers took a customised / personal approach to suit our daughter and what she needed. Now 2 and a half, she is just thriving there, and our 1 year old has just started. It's the little things that make this place great. The staff are just awesome, their academic qualifications, their previous teaching backgrounds, their genuine passion for what they do, I feel like my children are in an environment where they are loved and nurtured. The Centre Manager is marvellous, anything to do with child development, behavioural stages, education, she is just an expert and we rely alot on her advice. The Centre is brand new, so the resources / faciliites are very modern, extremely clean. The babies sleep room is great, air conditioned / heatpumps. I love that I don't have to pack a bag or food, as they have an on site chef and each child has a locker, so I literally walk the kids in on their own, no bag or anything. The food is amazing and like something off a high end cafe menu! The large rooms are connected by a hallway, which makes it so much easier when dropping off a baby and a toddler, I'm not having to go to 2 separate buildings for each child. The Centre is also off the road, so from the security perpsective, I really like it. Regular stories and photos updates about the children on their development come into my phone each day and throughout the week, so I always know what they are doing and get a snapshot into their world. Each day, I get a run down of what has happened with each child, what they did, how long they slept, what they ate, any particular milestones reached or tried etc etc. The administration / invoicing is always accurate. I think the biggest thing for us is that we feel our children are genuinely loved there and their leaps and bounds in their development is the proof and they way they interact with their teachers is with true affection. We are a multi cultural family, with a Pakeha father and Samoan mother, so it was very important to us that our children were exposed to as many different cultures and languages for their academic development and social interactions in the outside world, and we love that the Centre has so many cultures and each is respected and nurtured. After looking at around 20 daycares, this one really ticked all the boxes for us. Peter Pan is a really good brand, but what makes this particular Peter Pan daycare in Opaheke so great is the quality of the Teachers and Center Manager.”
“My child has been going to this centre since 11 months old, currently in the Kindy room (Forest Kindy Program). An absolutely fantastic centre, my child has enjoyed every step of the way through with excellent learning and development opportunities for her. The Forest Kindy Program has been one of the highlights during her time there, being able to get out in nature - she calls it her forest adventures! Thank you so much to all the teachers and staff she has engaged with along the journey, all so caring the supportive. I particularly enjoy getting the updates on the app of her learning and experiences.”
“We had our daughter start at Lollipops when she was around one. We love this place and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a loving daycare for their children. The teachers have been there for a long time and are all beautiful women who cares so much for the children. They do weekly music classes, has a super fun outdoor play space which they use daily and my daughter has learned so much from mat time. They also make beautiful, healthy home cooked meals which is amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.”
“This is a nice community center where I used to enroll my kids to learn Arabic every Sunday. The play area next to the center is amazing as well. There is a bus stop by the entrance of the center which makes it very easy for people to commute to the center.”
“My son Connor attended the centre for 3 years and loved his time. He loved all his teachers esp Amanda, Carol, Amy D, Shant, Shikha and Tonya. The care, attention, professionalism and love he received was amazing. He loved mat times and show and tell. His preparedness for school was outstanding and although he didn’t want to leave his friends and teachers he was ready to attend school with his letter writing, numeracy and problem solving skills. The centre is tidy and he loved playing in the sandpit with his friends. Thank you to team Best Start Waiata Shores!”
“We changed to Junior Junction a few months ago from My Kindy and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our 2 year old settled in quickly and is thriving. The staff are so friendly, there is no staff turnover, and our daughter is happy and learning everyday. We couldn't recommend this centre more.”
“Price and portion are both reasonable, and the food was excellent. Food was served a little slow but that makes sense considering how busy they were. Recommended!!”
“Our 2-year-old daughter attended this Kindergarten for nearly a year, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff were incredibly supportive, and the teachers were always attentive and caring. Our daughter loved being there and connected with everyone. The playground is spacious and filled with engaging activities that helped her develop motor skills and stay active. We only moved her to another Kindergarten due to logistical challenges with our work schedules. We’re truly grateful for the time our daughter spent here and highly recommend this Kindergarten to other families.”
“My son has attended since 1 years old in the babies room and is in his final year in Montessori. Busy Bees has been an amazing centre and have some amazing staff who we will definitely miss once we leave. Highly recommend.”
