Child center in Auckland

“We like KU because of the big and little people that make it what it is.”

“I wrote this letter to said thank you all the teachers at go banana that helped my son very well. My son been there childcare over 1 years already. All teachers are friendly and teach my son so good ,look after him very well. Now my son knows lot of things and understand a lot too. I am very happy.”

“Choosing Apple Tree for our boy has been one of the best decisions we’ve made and we’re so confident in the care and quality they provide that we’ll be enrolling our second child in the coming months. The centre is warm, welcoming, and well-equipped, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team of teachers. They are kind, supportive, and deeply committed to each child’s development. From the very beginning, we found them approachable and attentive, always taking the time to work closely with our child and support his learning journey. Over the years, we’ve watched our boy grow into a confident, curious, and happy young learner. The strong values, friendships, and early education he received at Apple Tree have given him a wonderful foundation as he prepares for primary school. We wholeheartedly recommend Apple Tree to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality childcare centre. The love, care, and dedication of the staff have left a lasting impact on our family, and we’re truly grateful for the start our boy had here.”

“Highly recommend. Teachers are lovely and warm, with the centre having a family feel to it. Lots of activities to keep them busy and care and attention given to each. Convenient location and well priced.”

“The best centre for your preschooler from birth. My grandson has developed so much this year. He has become an independent, sociable child. This is all credit to the teachers. Keep up your good work”

“Great Teachers! My Daughter really enjoyed this place. It was such a great atmosphere.”

“Creative Garden Early Learning Dowson is the best where my little girl grown up since 18 months upto recent. Thank you to all Teachers.”

“After viewing a number of daycares in the area I visited Kindercare Papatoetoe and instantly knew it was the one we had been searching for. Since then, I've sent both of my children to this centre & they always look forward to going because they have so much fun! The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and they're always learning new things. We love the way they encourage creativity and exploration. The staff are INCREDIBLE and absolutely adore the kids, and I know that they are well cared for. Communication is excellent and I love reading the regular stories and seeing the photo updates. I highly recommend Kindercare Papatoetoe!”

“Our 2-year-old loves it here! The staff are so good with him and really get him. He has the best time every day and always comes home happy (and tired, which is a bonus!). Couldn’t ask for better people looking after him.”

“We, as parents, are very thankful to all the wonderful teachers and staff of Aro Arataki. The school is really a great place of learning for the kids. They provide them nutritious meals and gives them the opportunity to explore and play, with lots of time outdoors and field trips. We have seen our child flourish in all aspects. They have earned our trust that we can always leave our child in a safe environment. We have worked stress-free for years knowing that our child is in good hands, thank you for giving us the peace of mind. Most importantly, our child grew up carrying good values and respect- that we cannot take all the credits for, because we know that the teachers were alongside parenting with us on this journey. Thank you to the teachers and staff of Aro Arataki! We will definitely miss you. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe!”

“The most wonderful ECE/daycare I could have found for my little ones. I feel so so lucky and blessed to have found CK. They have helped shape my children in so many good ways. I will forever be grateful to the foundation they have helped lay.”

“Amazing staff and management. A great beginning for your kids.”

“Thank you Hands at Play this is a very good daycare I had my two children here and they finished this year and the primary school teachers are very happy with my children and their progress. Thank you so much”

“Best daycare in the area. My Son has been attending for a year now and Takahe team teachers Padama and Susan are doing a Splendid job.”

“Both my kids went there and really enjoyed it.”

“Next Generation is an incredible daycare and the best environment I could have envisioned for my daughter who just graduated to school. The teachers at the 15 and 19 Gatman location are warm, caring, and highly engaged with the children. They have a balance of creative outdoor play, amazing art projects related to themes they're learning about, and working on school readiness skills using educational games and activities. Kindness and community are emphasized and the staff really care about parents' goals for their children. The centre is an organized and calm environment for the kids with a good educator to child ratio. They post amazing photos every day with learning stories! My daughter loved all her teachers and friends there and her confidence grew and grew so that the transition to school was really easy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a daycare in the area.”

“Amazing daycare centre, lovely staff and very supportive. I wouldn’t have my babies anywhere else”

“A fantastic daycare with special staff.”

“We love Montessori beginnings! My daughter is always happy to go and she talks about how much she loves it. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and I appreciate all of them. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter go here!”

“This place is so incredible. If you are looking for an alternative to kindy or daycares this is your place. It’s warm, inviting and friendly whilst having the most amazing Educators and staff. They really have a passion for what they do and it shows.”

“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.”

“I could not recommend this amazing center enough. Both of my girls have been there since 5-6months old. That is their second home! The teachers are caring, loving and incredibly talented and not to brag but the owner of the center is nothing but amazing! A second mummy to my kids and all of them there too! They are setting our kids up for success, the things the implement for the kids learning is honesty hands down phenomenal!!”

“I cannot recommend this Centre highly enough! From the day my daughter started (6M) till now (3 & 1/2Y) I’ve never had any issues. My daughter is well looked after, cared for, and most importantly, she loves going each day! She loves her teachers and her friends! Can’t wait for her sister to join her next year :)”

“We are blessed to have our child attending this preschool. She settled in very well from day one even though we came from another country. I can tell from a lot of details that this is a loving and caring place. Educators are passionate to work here and kids here and their parents are lovely. A wonderful experience for all of us.”

“Great centre with the most gorgeous rooms and staff”

“This is such a wonderful Day Care. My son went here for 2 years and had a great time. The cost is very reasonable, and they get fed. They have lovely celebrations. Great teachers and good communication. Thank you to Uptown Kids.”
