Child space in Auckland

“Second time coming to Pakuranga Chipmunks, each time was on my daughter’s birthday. We arrived on a Friday just after 09:30am and although it was a cloudy, wet and cold day…. The moment you enter the store you are welcomed with a ray of fun music and lights, a perfect way to spend your days indoor. My 2 year old enjoyed her time so much we stayed until 1:30pm! There’s a baby area with soft padded floors for your baby to crawl there way around and explore, there’s a 0-5 playground with sensory toys, musical piano, slide, and an upstairs playground with mirror maze, trampoline, walking rope and more slides - adults can fit too, I managed to comfortably explore alongside my 2 year old daughter, very study platforms. At an extra cost there are machine rides too. There’s also a 5-11 years area/playground that looked fun, we did explore the lower levels which had a large ball pit with a huge interactive screen projector where you throw the balls to eliminate the animal. If your child gets a bit bored of this playground there are arcade games along the back end of the store (extra cost) and a mini basketball court too. There are ample seats and tables close by to playgrounds. We ordered food from the cafe, for $39 I got the chicken burger combo & chicken nugget combo. A bit on the expensive side but the chicken burger was delicious (buns were soft and fresh) and they do have good coffee. Toilets were spotless and clean, a separate changing room for babies as well and a cool feature that I noticed was an area tucked around the corner from the cafe (outside of party room areas) was a set of comfy couches which is perfect for our breastfeeding māma’s who needed a comfortable private space to BF baby without the distractions of kids running around. Shoutout to the lovely owners for their awesome customer service, the lovely lady April was so attentive and I wish their business well for the future. Highly reccommend”

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday here over the weekend and it was such a great experience. Everything was handled really well and I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The party host Kaira was so attentive and lovely and made us all feel very welcome. The rooms was decorated nicely , the food was all out very quick and the kids had so much fun! Thanks so much! We will be back for sure :)”

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

“Barnardos Manurewa is an incredible daycare. The teachers are loving, welcoming and always having the children's educational needs front of mind. They have a very clean facility and maintain a high standard of safety for the children too. Best daycare in South Auckland for sure!”

“My daughter has been going to Childspace for two years and we have been so happy with it. The teachers are amazing, nurturing and so friendly. Our daughter often comes home wanting to show or teach us something that she learnt at Childspace that day and it gives us the confidence that she is going to be well prepared for starting school next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Childspace to anyone looking for quality daycare.”

“Highly recommend DBK, the staff are warm, welcoming and take great care of the kids. The outside space is large with plenty of play equipment, perfect for kids who love being outdoors like mine. The staff have been so helpful with my Autistic sons extra needs and making referrals for supports for him.”

“My little toddler absolutely loves coming to Little Ranges daycare! She is THRIVING under their care. The attention and genuine love they give her everyday has transformed our little 1 year old and we are so so grateful we found them! A bit of a back story is we moved her from another daycare (one of the most well known ones in Henderson Heights) because I noticed she’s just not as happy as she used to be, it just wasn’t the right fit. So I was sooo pleased that ever since she started going to Little Ranges she has FLOURISHED! Love the team at little ranges thank you for loving our girl! If you are looking for a team who will truly be your partner in raising your child, look no further than Little ranges :) 10 star all the way!!”

“My daughter attended Biggles for 3 years and loved it. Very friendly and whanau focused centre. Teachers are well informed, connected and caring. Thank you all so very much!”

“Fantastic, inclusive environment. We greatly value and appreciate the entire team at Aubrey for taking such great care of both our boys the last few years, if we still lived closer we wouldn't be moving. We will miss you. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality childcare.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“The Miller Nest Early Learning Centre and it's team is so full of love for the children and their whanau it's just beautiful. It's truly a home away from home. Love and respect can be clearly seen in each and every interaction that takes place here. You can't go wrong with The Miller Nest.”

“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.”

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

“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”

“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”

“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 :)”

“My son is currently enrolled at Tiny Stars and I cant tell how you much my son has learnt especially in the past year at Tiny Stars. Though he's playful at home, his attitude changes as soon as the gate opens and it's like he's a different person. He honestly loves Tiny Stars he sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff there too are also friendly, they keep you in the loop of your child's learning and they really value the child's learning.”

“The team at Coast Montessori are absolutely wonderful!! Their love, care and passion is truly remarkable. With separate zones focusing on different skills, I know my child is being developed in all the different learning aspects. My daughter loves it so much that it is a mission getting her to leave every day. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

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

“My son loves going to Active Explorer Central Park! Educators are very kind and caring, regular updates with photos and daily updates on children's activity book have built my confidence in this centre and trust pretty quickly. My son asks me every day to take him there, he has so much fun! He surprises me with new social skills every time and has made lovely bunch of little friends that make a party every time they see him come. When I drop him off he doesn't even want to waive good bye and when I pick him he wants to stay around!”

“Had a party here recently for my daughters birthday, the islander man was super friendly and helpful. The party rooms are spacious and clean and the playground is set up nicely. My daughter and her friends had a blast! Would recommend :)”

“I must command the excellent service I got today at the Warehouse Albany. A product I needed was not on shelf. The customer support went out of her way to find one in the shop but none was available. So she phoned another shop (Glenfield) and had one reserved for me to pick up on the same day. Excellent service. Thank you Helen Hadlee”

“We recently celebrated my son’s 1st birthday here at Manukau chipmunks. I had the pleasure of working with Val(staff member) throughout the night. The place was beautifully cleaned up before our night started and our kids food boxes were ready when we needed them. Everything I asked from Val and her other co worker they had for me straight away. I am very grateful for letting us use your facilities. Thank you for being so lovely and understanding. Blessings”

“We had our sons 5th birthday party here. The facilities are very clean, you can sit and watch the kids easily. Lots to do, games, face painting, obviously the playground itself. The food was great in the café, as well as the party food we ordered. Would absolutely come back again.”
