Child center in Auckland

“We love Bumblebees, the staff and care our two children have had there is amazing. We will miss it dearly!”

“Lovely little centre with a real family feel. The teachers are nurturing and engaged with the children. My child attended the centre for just over a year and has loved every minute of her time there. Highly recommend.”

“My Daughter loves going here and the staff are amazing. They play and make things with the kids that will blow your mind! Cyril is the master of making from a outside kitchen to working full size scales, Alisha is always coming home telling us all about what has been made today. Fully recommend this place :)”

“The Children's Cnr is such an amazing school and by far the best! My eldest daughter went through so many transitions in her short life and the teachers helped her through. The environment is a calm place allowing my daughter the best possible learning experience. He ability to communicate, interact, problem solve and self help skills has increased dramatically since attending this school.”

“Both my daughters attended children's ark full time. One is at school already and one is going to school next year. I am very grateful my girls attended here as they have a truly fabulous team. The teachers are very caring and lovely and they form very good relationships with the parents which is super important. Would always highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you children's ark staff for all the hard work you all do :-)”

“Kindercare is the best learning center, I always felt my baby was happy, healthy, safe, and LOVED. This daycare has the best, most caring, and loving teachers. The administration is also great! I can’t say enough how much my family and our daughter love this place. Wish I could give more stars than 5. I will recommend my all friends for the best daycare of Kindercare after 2 years experience, so lucky we chose the Kindercare Thank you kindercare for everything!!!”

“Best ECE /Kindergarten in New Zealand. Anchorage Park Kindergarten is the heart and soul of the community. The highly qualified teachers not only provide an amazing space and experience and love for my little ones, but genuinely care about our family as a whole. They catered to the special needs of my children, willing to adapt and try new things to help my children thrive. When new to the area they connected us with other families that have grown into lasting friendships for my children and us as parents. When my spouse went through a mental crisis I felt love and support for our family from them. They connected us to resources and support I couldn't have found on my own. They inquire about my older children, and remember their names despite years gone past since they were at kindy. They supported me in getting back into work. This wonderful team at Anchorage Park Kindergarten cultivates the space for my children to grow, and fosters a loving community so that I, as a parent, grow too.”

“1 month in and all the teachers try very hard. They are very patient and kind. I trust the teachers so much that it makes me feel good leaving my world in their hands. I have recommended to family members already. This is my first experience with daycares and honestly, they have set the bar so high! Thankful for everyone ❤”

“Apple Tree Preschool is a fantastic place with caring and friendly teachers who greet you warmly when you arrive and leave everyday. They provide daily verbal updates about your child at the end of the day and monthly stories that highlight their progress. The staff take sickness seriously, keeping families informed about any illnesses at the preschool and encouraging caution to keep everyone safe. They also offer hot, healthy lunches along with morning and afternoon teas every day. Overall, it’s a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where both children and parents feel supported.”

“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 best "Best start " . Love the teachers at babies room- Wendy, Charity & Eden, they are just the best take care so well. The centre manager , admin all are so kind and my kids all happy there”

“Magic Garden is a truly wonderful daycare with love and rich teaching experience, the team respects each child's individuality while helping them prepare confidently for school life. My son has spent over a year learning and growing at Magic Garden, and I am continually amazed by his development. I’m deeply grateful to Magic Garden for the care and support they’ve given him.”

“It was a great experience and learning for my son who is autistic. All the teachers are very supportive and the Manager is very nice. Overall it was a good experience to be in this Centre.”

“A Fantastic Experience for Our Little One! We couldn't be happier with the childcare centre our daughter attends. The staff has been incredibly caring and attentive. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure every child feels loved and secure, and our daughter has truly thrived in this nurturing environment. The facilities are well-maintained, and we appreciate the measures taken to ensure a safe environment for all the children. It's evident that the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean and organized space. One aspect that stands out is the positive impact on our daughter's social and emotional development. She has become more confident, outgoing, and has made wonderful friendships with her peers. The emphasis on these developmental aspects is clearly reflected in the caring and supportive atmosphere fostered by the teachers. We are thrilled with our decision to enrol our daughter in Brightlands!”

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to complete my practicals at your daycare. The guidance, patience, and kindness you’ve shown me have been invaluable. I’ve learned so much from the team, and I truly appreciate the warm and welcoming environment you provided. Thank you once again :)”

“We had a great transition period and my daughter has been attending Mt Wellies since the beginning of the year. We absolutely love this place and the sole reason comes down to the amazing kaimahi. If you want to send your child to a place where they are looked after and valued as you do at home then Mt Wellies is the place!”

“Our child started in the under-3 class, and the transition was incredibly smooth, thanks to the loving and supportive teachers. Now that he's moved to the over-3 class, we can see how much he is learning and growing. His language skills have improved so much, and we're amazed at how he remembers all of his teachers' names—it shows how deeply connected and engaged he is with them. When he is sharing his story in daycare, it gives us such peace of mind knowing he's in a place where he feels happy and secure. We couldn't be more grateful for MyKindy Henderson and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring, enriching environment for their little one.”

“I run a sport and movement programme for the children at New Shoots Hillcrest and have loved working with the centre, their staff and children. The staff always do the utmost to ensure the children's needs are met and they are well cared for and I can see the strong relationships and nurturing bonds built between staff and child to allow them to thrive and grow in the environment. The facilities are great and enable the children to express themselves both indoors and outdoors and build friendships with the children in their respective rooms.”

“I know I'm a little late in leaving this review, but this place truly deserves it. My son transitioned from a different childcare facility, so settling down was challenging for him. However, thanks to the incredible love and support from everyone at Confident Kids, he adjusted smoothly. He even cried when we had to move to Australia because he had made such good friends there. I highly recommend Confident Kids for their exceptional service; they treat children like their own family. My son learned so many valuable things during his time there. Thank you to everyone involved!”

“Kimberly Childcare is an amazing facility that our child Olive has been going too since she was 1 year old. All the teachers have been amazing throught her years there. They are like family to our daughter and have a huge positive impact in the beautiful girl she is growing into. Jo, the manager, is kind, hard working, and always approachable. We feel very lucky to have such an amazing Whanau at Kimbery Childcare.”

“A great wee daycare. All the staff are lovely and our son is really happy here.”

“We’ve been sending our son to Red Kite since he was just 7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. After visiting several childcare centers in the Mt Albert/Owairaka area, this one stood out as the best in terms of its Amazing teachers, excellent management, and spacious, well-designed facilities. The teachers are consistently engaging, caring, and full of positive energy. Anita and Judy, the owners and managers of Red Kite, are outstanding—they create a welcoming and nurturing environment where children thrive. The team has supported my son through every stage of his development, from lifting his head to crawling, walking, running, talking and now even dancing! Thank you, Red Kite, for your dedication and care. I highly recommend visiting this center if you’re looking for a top-notch childcare experience.”

“The team and facilities at ABC Epsom are fantastic. Particularly the teachers in the under two's room are so caring and wonderful with the littlies. The atmosphere at the centre is great. Lovely big outdoor space for a relatively central centre. Highly recommend.”

“I had the pleasure of having all three of my children attend Learning Unlimited over a five-year period, and we couldn’t have been happier with the center. We only had to leave when we moved too far away. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and approachable. They took a genuine interest in my children’s passions and nurtured their curiosity and love for learning. My eldest son thrived in his love of writing, my daughter enjoyed assisting the teachers with everyday tasks, and my younger son loved exploring animals. The communication, both in person and online, was always clear and informative, making us feel included and up to date on everything important. I would highly recommend this center to any family or friends, and I have done so many times!”

“Highly recommend Thriving Kids Massey! Amazing Super friendly Teachers & Chefs that go above and beyond for our kids! I love how they celebrate & dress up to every special occasion & always learning about different cultures they really get the kids involved & how they learn so much new amazing things everyday! The kids go on fun trips & have the best time! Your kids really thrive here! Such a fantastic daycare overall!!”

“As a first-time mum, I have walked into this journey with so many new emotions—excitement, fear, love, and constant hope that my child will be safe, cared for, and truly seen. Having my little one in the baby room for the past year has been one of the biggest blessings, and I am deeply grateful for the amazing team who have supported us both. Working at this centre for several years, I have always known how passionate and dedicated our teachers are. But experiencing it as a mother has touched me in a completely different way. The love, patience, and genuine care they show my child every single day brings me so much comfort. I see the way they nurture, celebrate milestones, and hold my baby with such warmth—and it means more than words can express. Thank you to every teacher in the baby room for embracing my child with open arms, for supporting me through my first-time mum worries, and for creating a safe, loving, and happy space. Your passion and kindness make all the difference, and I am truly, deeply appreciative. This centre isn’t just a childcare—it’s a family. And I am so grateful my child is growing here, surrounded by such wonderful people. ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to my all lovely colleges, who are giving this immense love to my child ❤️❤️❤️”

“The teachers Janaki, Aimy, and Lorinda in babies room, along with the other caregivers at BestStart Stoddard Road, are truly wonderful. Their genuine love and care shine through in every interaction, making a heartfelt difference in the lives of the children and whanau. The facilities are up to the mark and the learning resources are very engaging too.”
