Child room in Auckland

“The team has been nothing but welcoming to my son and I. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving him with people he didn't know, but they are so warm and caring that my son took a liking to the teachers very quickly and that put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Aspirations!”

“Our daughter has been with C2B for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The teachers are incredible and support her growth and development in so many fun ways. We love that she gets to play with the older kids as well as the kids her age which creates such a wonderful bond between the kids and teaches her to interact with people of all ages. We have and will continue to recommend C2B to all our friends and families!”

“Our children finished there journey at kid country this year. After having been there for 6 years between the two of them. They have both had many amazing experiences and am so thankful for the activities and events kid country provided to our children. They both loved being there so much. I can strongly recommend with the most space we could find of any daycare for the kids to roam and great management that supports events for the children.”

“I have had multiple children attend The Grange early learning centre over the past eight years. In the past five years I have noticed a lot of new resources, new programmes and learning activities. This childcare stands out from the rest due to their amazing teachers many of which have been there for a very long time. The centre has been a home away from home for my family. Thank you for being the best childcare out West!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Our son has been going to this daycare since he was 11 month old , it took him sometime to adjust however teachers were really caring and helpful, he has now moved to over 2 yo class and he has been doing really great there, teachers are all caring , he has a special bond with his teacher Usha.❤️.we highly recommend this daycare.”

“my Two eldest children attend Mangere East Creative Gardens Learning Centre and absolutely love it, my son couldn't speak before and now since he started in May this year he speaks clearly and can understand better what is being said, he also has become more social and outgoing as he was a very shy boy. My daughter has absolutely grown a lot education wise, but they also helped her open up more, express her feelings, was my greatest decision sending my kids here, and the staffs are absolutely lovely and very caring always feels like a second home when we come 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.”

“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!!”

“We’ve had a fantastic experience with Kiddie Garden Learning Corner! The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and happiness. My child loves going every day and has learned so much—from creative activities to social skills. The environment is safe, nurturing, and well-organized, with plenty of engaging activities that keep the kids excited. Communication with parents is also excellent, keeping us updated on our child’s progress. The kids are very well fed too. My child doesn’t come home hungry in the evening, and that’s a great relief to know that the kids are fed frequent and adequately. I highly recommend Kiddie Garden to any parent looking for a loving and enriching daycare experience!”

“Our son has been attending ACG Remuera since turning 12 months old in May 2024, and he genuinely loves the place. He is always smiling and happy when we drop him off in the mornings. All the teachers are wonderful and caring.”

“We have enjoyed a fantastic year of care for our little girl. Her learning and speech development has been amazing and she loves to see her teachers and little friends each day.”

“A clean and tidy center where you want to send your kids. The most important thing to about this center is that the teachers are very supportive of your child’s need in terms of knowledge enrichment. The center has loads of activities included in their curriculum to educate kids about front line workers, festivals, diversity, and other important dates. The center is diverse culturally and neurodiverse too. That being said, they listen to parents and note the goals for your child and work towards accomplishing those goals. Definitely recommend and one of the best centers in south Auckland.”

“The book loan drop off box is great.”

“My child has been attending Pascals Albany for three years and absolutely loves it. The centre's welcoming environment and caring teachers are truly noteworthy. It's amazing how they treat us like family and inform us about my child's progress daily. I highly recommend Pascals Albany to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive childhood centre.”

“Forever grateful to the Gillies team especially - Sara, Nape, Celine, Nithy, Leigh and Thelma. For consistency, accommodating, and compassion. My daughter has flourished and grown over the 4 years she has been a student at BestStart. It has been her home away from home and she has spent more time with this team then some of her own relatives. She has never complained or raised any concerns.”

“Being foreign to the country, I was skeptical about starting my little one in just any baby class. But at Rockabye we've felt welcome from day 1. All the staff go out of their way with planning days, fresh daily set-ups, informing you of your kid's progress and keeping track of his growth and milestones. This was my first choice as I'm working just down the road from there but if I'd worked further, this would still be my first option! They really ROCK!”

“Hands down. The best daycare you could send your children to. I am so glad I pulled my daughter out of her previous one and brought her here. The drive is definitely worth it. ALL the teachers are amazing, friendly and welcoming. Hurricane has made our journey here so easy!! Everyone here feels like family & I am sad my girl has now left. Thank you for loving her like your own and making it her second home. She has learnt so much and has been well prepared for school. I appreciate you all!”

“I wanted to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for the wonderful care and support you’ve provided to my children. It’s been so reassuring to know that they are not only in a safe and nurturing environment but also thriving in their personal development. Over the time they’ve been with you, I’ve noticed such growth in their confidence, communication skills, and emotional maturity. The activities, routines, and individual attention you give them have had a lasting impact, and they’ve learned so much under your guidance. It’s evident that the team is dedicated to fostering a positive and well-rounded environment for the children, and I can’t thank you enough for that. I am truly grateful for everything you do to help my children grow. Thank you for being such an integral part of their development and well-being.”

“I completed my field placement in the babies room at Happy Turtle Childcare, and it was a truly rewarding experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, and I learned so much from their nurturing and professional approach. I had the chance to support daily routines, engage in play-based learning, and build meaningful connections with the infants. The environment was calm, safe, and thoughtfully set up for early development. This placement helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a caring team. Amandeep kaur Somal”

“As a new mother I was told not to trust the big franchises as they do not have a quality of care. After having my child attend 2 different big branded daycares I almost believed them. That’s until I started my son here. Millennium Ellerslie has shown the upmost support and care for my child. He has severe eczema and allergies to wheat and egg and they’ve accommodated his needs and wellbeing without excluding him or singling him out. They’re honest go above and beyond. They’re honest, respectful and caring and my husband and I rave about how pleased we are with this centre. The teachers and staff are amazing and my son always feels welcome and happy when we arrive and leave. Thank you all for your patience and professionalism.”

“What a treasure this Centre is! Like falling down a rabbit hole and ending up in Wonderland/Wonka's Chocolate factory... the staff are warm and friendly, the care is second to none and our child has improved in all development areas in the 5 months he has been here. To support all children in their individual learning journey, where they're at, and become a part of every whanau - AE Pap I truly am grateful we found you and that we have you in our corner in G's last year before Primary School. From Katie, Debbie to the volunteer student teachers, relievers, teachers, the Centre cook - I am so grateful to each person and the role they play. I will forever recommend and sing the praises of this Centre”

“I would like to thank the wonderful team at The Learning Corner for teaching, guiding, mentoring and taking care of our daughter from February to April 2025, when she transitioned to Primary School age. My daughter was enthusiastic about going to the Learning Corner and had lots to speak about when she would come home every day - about her friends and particularly all her teachers. She loved all the activites, fun programmes and games at this insitituion. Most importantly she felt loved and felt safe at the Learning Corner. She enjoyed, grew and matured under their able guidance and their efforts together with the wonderful team of teachers and staff. We were blessed to have your support and encouragement, as a new family settling into New Zealand academic system and life. We are immensely grateful for every blessing that we have received from The Learning Corner.”

“We rate this daycare so highly, our daughter is nearly 3 and has been going since she was 10 months old. The teachers and staff are so welcome and nurturing, our daughter absolutely adores them all and loves going. It’s amazing to see how well children can succeed in such a loving environment. Other than the care and amazing learning provided it also exceeded our expectations with food provided. Every day a healthy cooked meal is provided meeting all of our child’s nutritional needs and this takes such a big weight off needing to make packed lunches. Wouldn’t send our child anywhere else :)”

“Always friendly, great place to go for baby clothes that are different.”
