“Such a beautiful, caring, friendly, and warm-welcoming centre! We are so happy to have our son here. Special thanks to Suman, the administrator – thank you for your help and support.”

“My son start in 2022 when he just turned to two. He learn lots of and enjoyed every day. This is very good school. He was so happy there. We will miss this school. Thank you.”

“Fantastic learning space for my three year old son. He loves the outdoor area and all of the indoor areas. There is a lovely range of resources there and his teachers are amazing. The centre is clean and really warm and inviting. I love all of the natural light that is let in through the big windows and doors.I am a teacher there also working in the Kiwi room and I love working in such a calm and beautiful place and best of all knowing my son is well looked after and is happy there. Highly recommend.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Bumble Bees! From day one, it has felt like a warm, welcoming, and safe place for our child to grow, learn, and thrive. The teachers are absolutely wonderful – not only are they warm, kind, and encouraging, but they also know how to challenge the kids in all the right ways to support their development. You can really tell they care about each child's individual journey. One thing that stands out is the quality of the food. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into making sure the meals are nutritious and balanced, giving the children the energy they need to stay active and focused throughout the day. There’s also always something fun and engaging for the kids to do, no matter the weather! Whether it’s indoor activities, crafts, outdoor play, or themed learning sessions, the daycare is packed with things that keep our child entertained, stimulated, and happy. We’re incredibly grateful to have found such a fantastic place. It gives us real peace of mind to know our child is in such capable, caring hands every day.”

“Our daughter loves Early Connections. The staff are amazing and it feels like family. We couldn't recommend it more.”

“Great place for watching teenagers scream at each other while playing Valorant. Music room very accessible, and got almost run over by people riding the tri-wheeled bikes. Very fun”

“We absolutely love RFTS. Teachers here are incredible, especially the teachers at shooting star room. They are teaching my son more than I manage to at home! He often comes home surprising us with new skills, songs or things he learned. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful preschool!”

“Great environment, teachers and leadership. They are always welcoming, accommodating and very professional. Our little one took time to adjust and found her ground after a while. She has built a great relationship with teachers and friends over time.”

“Best place for anyone who wants to enrol their child in a nurturing, caring and supportive environment. I have had only great experiences with the team.. from their front office staff to the teachers, relievers, everyone is just amazing!! Love this centre!!”

“We’ve been doing transition visits recently with my 17-month-old daughter, and I truly appreciate the teachers here. They are patient, sensitive to each child’s needs and interests, and always respond with love and understanding. After the first two hours I left my daughter with the teachers, she came back home singing Brown Bear! Since then, every time she arrives at the centre, Teacher Wilma shows her the goldfish she loves, and Teacher Chloe sings Brown Bear with her—creating a warm, consistent, and welcoming atmosphere. Each time during pick-up, I can see how well the teachers know my daughter—her likes and dislikes, and her little habits. Even though we’ve only been here for two weeks, I can already see a genuine relationship and attachment forming between her and the teachers. I feel so thankful and blessed to have chosen this place.”

“Update: It’s been over a year and a half since my last review and we are still very happy with our Palms family. The centre just had a makeover and it looks amazing!! My daughter is so happy when it’s “Kindy Time” I hardly get a goodbye when I drop her off before she jets off to play with her friends. My daughter started with Palms Educare a week ago and the staff has really helped making the transition easier. The teachers in the baby class are amazing and caring and have so much patience. My daughter also has a medical condition and the staff has been very supportive and accommodating. So far we are very happy and will definitely recommend the centre (in fact I have already).”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are absolutely thrilled with Lollipop’s Albany Childcare Centre! From the moment my daughter started here, our family felt nothing but confidence and gratitude for the incredible team. The staff are warm, caring, and highly professional, always going above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe, supported, and happy. Their systems are well-organised, transparent, and family-friendly, which makes communication so easy. Every day we see how much effort goes into creating a nurturing environment filled with fun, learning, and growth.My daughter has blossomed in confidence, friendships, and skills since joining, and we couldn’t be happier. If you are looking for a trusted, high-quality childcare centre in Albany, North Shore, we cannot recommend Lollipop’s Albany enough. The staff treat every child like their own, and it truly feels like a second home for our little one. Thank you to the amazing team – you make such a positive difference in our family’s life!”

“My daughter started at Small Fries when she was just 4 months old. It was so hard but all the teachers and staff made the process so smooth and effortless. In the almost 2 years of her being there she learnt so much and I will always be grateful for the care and love she received throughout her time there. It was quite bitter sweet taking her out but she is about to become a big sister and I'm sure in the future they will both be back there. Thank you Small Fries Family ❤️”

“My son started attending Kimberley Childcare at 8 months old. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about going back to work and wanted to find a place that would not only support him developmentally but would also make him feel cared for and loved. Kimerbley Childcare is that place. Everyone at the centre, from the teachers to the staff, is welcoming and encouraging. They have not only embraced my son, but our entire family. I cannot recommend Kimberley Childcare enough. They are whanau-centered and full of aroha.”

“We love Co Kids - their approach/philosophy towards education, adventure, celebrating all the different cultures and the warm environment is perfect for our boy (and us, we always love being there). The centre is so supportive of the whole family, including all the teachers and the centre manager Seema. Our son loves it there so much and has grown in so many ways. Communication is excellent, the teachers are so kind, calm and gentle with all the kids. All are also so approachable and open, and they are supporting us so much with figuring out how to raise our child! So much amazing help! We love how they love our son. We got an amazing vibe from the first visit and that has been proven to be right throughout the year our son has attended. We highly recommend Co Kids for, among many other positives, their philosophies, beautiful people, modern and spacious facilities, and plentiful and delicious menu! I think the most important thing is that peace of mind that you get when you know your child is in such safe hands in terms of their development being supported and the genuine care the staff have for the children. This was the best decision we could have made for our son.”

“We have been sending our child to Rising Stars for almost two years now, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, always ensuring that each child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The activities are well-planned and educational, promoting both learning and creativity. We've seen significant growth in our child, both socially and academically. The communication from the management is clear and consistent, keeping us well-informed about our child's progress and any upcoming events, they also have this mobile app and that makes our life more cherish by the writeups done by teachers about their activities and achievements, its kind of a souvenir for their life which they refer later on. We're confident that Rising stars is the right place for our child's continued growth and development. Highly Recommend.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our baby. It really means the world to us knowing that she is loved, happy and safe in your care. We are so grateful in everything you do ❤️”

“Amazing centre and staff. We have two children attending Blooming Buds and we couldn't be happier. The toddlers room recently has had a change of staff, Alice (Head teacher) is amazing, we truly appreciate the love and care she shows our son. Lisa and the Preschool team always go above and beyond for our daughter and the education she is receiving is fantastic. What a wonderful environment.”

“We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old attending Henderson Learning Adventures and both absolutely love going. The teachers are amazing and the care and attention that goes into their mahi can really be felt. Sending our children in to learning adventures feels like an extension of our whānau and we know they are being loved and cared for.”

“We love Toddlers Turf from it’s safe facility, happy environment, loving and trustworthy teachers, healthy food and heaps of amazing activities for children. It’s all positive from when we started sending our child in 2020. He has learnt heaps and made friends. Highly recommended childcare. Everything is taken care of. No worries to any parent. Thank you Toddlers Turf and all of the staff that makes up this wonderful Centre!”

“We absolutely love Little Pohutukawa! The teachers are incredible – always warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in the kids’ wellbeing. Both of our children attend and absolutely love going to “school” each day. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in a caring, nurturing, and fun environment. We’ve seen them thrive and grow so much thanks to the amazing team. We would highly recommend Little Pohutukawa to any parents considering childcare.”

“Our son Darby attended Bambinos Early Childhood Centre for four years. Bambinos offers an excellent range of engaging activities and thoughtful care. He was able to develop trusting relationships with both his teachers and the other children. It was always so reassuring to know that while at daycare, he was happy, engaged, and safe. We’re so grateful to the team at Bambinos for giving Darby such a positive start with his early learning.”

“I am delighted with the care and attention my child has received during their first month at BestStart Albany. The staff have created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where my child feels welcomed and supported. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for the children truly stand out. I have complete confidence in recommending BestStart Albany to anyone seeking quality childcare. Keep up the good work team.”

“Both my kids have attended this preschool from 6 months to 5 years old and we have never had an issue with this centre. The staff are kind, friendly and you can see they love what they do. The centre is always clean and the food made there - my kids say it’s amazing!”

“From day one, we’ve felt confident and happy having our child at BestStart Mangere East. The teachers are genuinely caring and always make the kids feel safe, seen, and supported. It’s such an inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to be themselves. Our little one absolutely loves going each day, and we’ve seen so much growth in their confidence and social skills. I’d highly recommend BestStart to any family looking for a daycare that truly puts kids first.”

“We cannot thank Apples enough for the incredible care and love they’ve shown our daughter. The growth we’ve seen in her has been truly amazing. The teachers go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment, making learning enjoyable and engaging. Our daughter used to be quite selective with her food, but thanks to the encouragement from her wonderful teachers, she now happily eats her vegetables and tries new foods! It’s clear that each child is supported with such dedication, and we will always cherish the special memories created at Apples. Although we’re leaving due to a change in circumstances, we will forever hold dear the time she spent there. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be loved, encouraged, and inspired, we highly recommend Apples!”

“Living far away from our families, FAME Preschool quickly became our family-away-from-home. We couldn't have wished for a better place to introduce our 2 daughters to the school system. The team is warm, welcoming, engaging, professional and fun. They have taken such well care of our little ones as well as of us as a family at times of need. We would highly recommend!”

“The most caring, nurturing group of teachers, they really are amazing! Will be forever grateful for the love my daughter receives, she loves being an Active Explorer!! A fantastic thought out centre with ample outdoor space and heaps of daily creativity through sensory/messy play, which i love getting updates on throughout my working day! Made my transition back to work as easy as it could be. Fab management as well as healthy food and snacks.”

“I highly recommend Equippers Kids to all parents looking for a daycare that keeps you well-informed, is based on Christian values and ensures the upmost safety of your child. As first time parents, we had been searching for a child care centre that made us feel at ease when we had to go back to work. We visited over 12 different centres across Central and South Auckland and Equippers kids was a real standout. The teacher to child ratio is fantastic, there are rooms & playgrounds dedicated to each age group so we didn't have to worry about our son getting bowled over by bigger kids, and they follow a wonderful education curriculum. Some of the activities our son gets to do has really helped his development. I also noticed that he has really flourished when it comes to his social skills - he has grown in to a very confident young boy. We started our son when he was 13 months and have had no regrets. The biggest sign for us that it is a great place to be, is that our son walks in to the centre and waves goodbye to us with a big smile on his face. He is excited to go to school each day and for parents whom were nervous to leave our son in the care of others, there is nothing more reaffirming! If you are considering Equippers kids, you have come to the right place! It is also very affordable considering that they are fed multiple healthy meals & snacks a day and provide nappies. If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would!”

“My wife and I sent our son to Bambinos when he turned 3. Riyansh loved it from the get go. Over the 2 years many teachers at Bambinos have changed and the new teachers here now have brought in new methods and techniques which Riyansh enjoys alot and looks forward to goin 2 bambinos every single day. I would like to personally thank Geralyn, Rihana, Yasmin, Abdul and the other teachers who have looked after Riyansh during his time there. They all have given very good feedback about his abilities. I would highly recommend anyone who is in close proximity to bambinos to send their kids there. We live in Takanini and still sent riyansh to manukau bambinos and it was well worth it. 5 star for the early childhood teaching they provide. Thank you Rish and Sonam Maharaj”
