“The sweetest little community preschool, and loveliest teachers, some who have taught all three of our kids, the older two now 17 and 11, with their little sister two years old, having just joined this year. Still just as lovely as always, lots of educational activities, lots of learning, play and interaction with teachers. Good routine structure. Highly recommend.”

“We love CK! Both my boys have been going since they were 1yo and have the best time. The teachers are so kind and we have always felt so welcome”

“Secret Garden is one of the best childcare in the area. Splendid environment and kau kaiako are so nice and professional. Strongly recommended!”

“My son loves it here. Lovely teachers aswell ❤️”

“The teachers here are so loving and kind. My son loves it here and never wants to leave!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Caring staffs that listens and understands my queries. Lots of activities and updates on app which is lovely to view during the day. Most importantly my child loves going to Fun n Play!”

“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.”

“I went there 29 years ago and now both my girls have and are still going there. Thank you team for your amazing ability with all the kids you have. Thank you and see you next week!!”

“Both my girls attended this centre from 6 months old, up until they went to school. Our family had a great experience here, would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“One of the best centres out there. All the staff are friendly, diligent and maintains a fun atmosphere for the children. Communication and regular updates are also something the centre does so well- keep up the great work.”

“Awesome kindergarten, fabulous staff.”

“Amazing centre with friendly staff and great food!”

“Thank you so much learning steps as a best caregiver for my daughter. As a first time mom who is overprotective for my girl , I was very unsure about putting my daughter in a daycare but as a working parents we don’t have other options. Learning steps has changed my perception about the daycare and this is the best decision for my daughter's development that I have enrolled her at learning steps. Teachers are so kind and helpful , also they always listen to us what are our priorities and do their best to identify my daughter’s skill. Highly recommend to all parents who really wanna assured their child’s safety and care. Keep doing your great work and thank you again.”

“My 4.5 year old has attended the Our kids on Glendale road since he was 7 months old and it is like a second home to him. The staff are friendly and caring, I love that the turnover of staff is very low so many of them have been there since he started. I also love the mixed age environment, as it gives it a real family feel. My little one loves it here so much and we couldn’t be happier with the centre.”

“My daughter had enjoyed Go banana for more than 2 years . Teachers are friendly and care. She don’t want to go anywhere else .”

“The teachers here have got the balance right. They nurture. They teach. They care. They listen. I know every time I drop off my son he will be safe. I also know that when I pick him up he will be happy and healthy - if not a little grubby from the FUN he has had learning! Thanks to the teachers for making this happen!”

“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.”

“AMAZING xoxo Love this preschool. Teachers are fabulous, awesome and very interactive. They love their kids and genuinely make the effort to ensure they are learning, well looked after and are engaged in numerous . My daughter loves going to school and so will yours. Teachers speak well to the kids and everything centers around the well being & learning of your child xx”

“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.”

“My family has been a part of the TLC family for around 3 years now over two children. Our time with my youngest there is coming to an end and it's with such a heavy heart that we move on. The incredibly experienced teachers at TLC have taught me so much about parenting and provided different perspectives on how I'd viewed certain things previously. Their philosophy has paid off in dividends for my children and it was a beautiful thing to watch them thrive, grow their confidence and self awareness in their time with TLC. We feel so fortunate and grateful for every day spent in this magical centre. We will miss you all so much! Thank you for everything!!”

“Great facilities and environment.”

“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.”

“My two kids LOVE this centre! I would definitely recommend little coasties, have been to a couple and this one is by far all of our favourite! They serve nutritious lunches for our children and are very affordable aswell! Lovely teachers, beautiful centre and amazing children there! Highly recommend!”
