Child center in Auckland

“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.”

“I am incredibly pleased with the care my child receives at Lil champs Papatoetoe. He started his daycare since he was 10 months old and the staff are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. The environment is clean, stimulating, and full of engaging activities that support my child's development. I appreciate the open communication and the daily updates on my child's progress through story park. It's clear that Punitaji, Eunite & team is dedicated to creating a nurturing and safe space. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a trustworthy and enriching place for their child.”

“Wow, what a fantastic team with with so much heart and caring mindset. My daughter used to weep every time I left her at other daycares, was frightened of everything from baloons to fireworks , had troubles with eating and using the restroom independently before she started attending this daycare. She overcame her worries with the support of the whole team at Dazzling Stars. In addition, my kid has never been the most adventurous eater, but the cook there always made sure she got tasty meals.The experience with Dazzling Stars was so transformative to the point that she started crying when it was time to go. I can't say I blame her; every time I went there, I was having so much fun that I didn't want to leave. Every day, we were greeted with so much happiness and laughter, both of us had a blast. Dazzling Stars crew is more like a family to us than just a daycare. They have my unending gratitude and admiration for all they have done to shape my daughter into the person she is today.To those seeking the childcare, your search is over. You may rest assured that this is the best option for your child and for you. P.S Lola and I miss you guys so much. I plan to keep dropping over anytime I'm close by for a dose of happiness, laughter, and hugs.”

“We've been part of Good Seeds Daycare since August and today marks our last day, as I’ve started a new job that affects our timing. This daycare has truly been a second home for our family. The teachers—Eni, Sala, Courtney, Coco, Carleen, and Suzie—and the wonderful administrator Jazz, along with the manager Helen, have been incredibly welcoming and supportive from day one. When we first started, I was nervous about my daughter adjusting, especially since English was new to her. But thanks to the patience and guidance of the teachers, she’s now confidently started speaking English and has formed beautiful bonds, especially with Eni. One thing I loved the most was how they made every child feel special. Their yearly family picnic (Auckland Zoo), the lovely Christmas celebrations, and the way they encourage children with prizes all showed how much effort they put into creating joyful memories. On our last day, they even gave us a farewell booklet of Elaine’s learning journey. That thoughtful gift touched my heart so much—I cried because I know how incredible they are and how much love they put into caring for her. The daycare’s approach of allowing children to choose their own activities, rather than sticking to a strict routine, made it a perfect fit. It allowed my daughter to explore, learn, and grow at her own pace. I’m deeply grateful to all the teachers and staff for making this experience so enriching, warm, and heartfelt. I wholeheartedly recommend Good Seeds Daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, loving, and family-like environment for their child. They truly care, and it shows in everything they do.”

“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!”

“I cannot recommend Plum Tree preschool highly enough! We’ve done a lot of research and trialing at the nearby daycares and Plum Tree was by far the best one for us. The most amazing, warm and caring teachers! Lots of nature based play and engaging activities.”

“One of the best daycare. My daughter is very happy and comfortable.Thanks to Katthy and team❤️❤️”

“As a social worker, I have had the privilege of working alongside Brooke MacClure at Our Kids Early Learning Centre. I want to acknowledge the incredible kindness, care, and dedication they show not only to the tamariki but also to the whānau I work with. They have gone above and beyond to ensure whānau are supported with their essential needs, generously providing items for those experiencing financial hardship. The level of aroha and commitment they bring to their role is truly inspiring, and it makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our community. I am very grateful for the mahi they have done for me and continue to do.”

“Amazing teachers in a lovely environment.”

“My baby went there for 2 years and my daughter worked there. Lovely team and highly recommended.”

“Such an amazing daycare . The teachers and manager are amazing and all love and treat the children like they are their own . Highly recommend.”

“MyFirst Preschool is such a hidden gem. I love the smaller, more personal environment — with fewer children, the teachers can truly connect. When my daughter was still settling in, I often saw the teachers having warm one-on-one chats with her, giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. She’s blossomed here, and the teachers put so much thought into planning engaging activities every day. Recently, they’ve even added music sessions, where she has learnt to keep rhythm — such an unexpected delight. Highly recommended.”

“Peacocks Epsom is one of the best asset for families and children. My 15m old loves going every day and has a smile for her teachers as soon as she gets there. I love the variety of activities they have for the kids everyday and the care they give them. The staff are very kind, patient, attentive and caring. Definitely recommend this centre!”

“Barnardos Manurewa is an incredible daycare. The teachers are loving, welcoming and always having the children's educational needs front of mind. They have a very clean facility and maintain a high standard of safety for the children too. Best daycare in South Auckland for sure!”
