Children's entertainment center in Auckland

“Our family is very grateful to Summerfield for its education and guidance to my son. He has made great progress in all aspects at Summerfield and has made many good friends. Summerfield is an excellent school. The teachers are very responsible, patient and caring. Summerfield is the best Early Learning Centre in New Zealand. My son is very lucky to be able to join Summerfield. We are immensely grateful for Summerfield's support and quality education for my son. He has shown significant growth and changes over the past few months. We will have the second baby soon and we would like him to join Summerfield too. They are lucky to join Summerfield. All teachers are kind, patient , caring and responsible. They like our families.”

“We are so grateful to have Junior Junction at a walking distance from home! Our daughter has been there for just over a year now and she loves it. She has learned so much, made some lovely friends and is fond of her teachers too. I must say she does enjoy the food they cook at the centre. We love looking at photos of all that she gets up to, while she's there and also all the artwork she brings home. The teachers always make us feel welcome and safe.”

“Amazing, Friendly and fun teachers. All three of my children attend/attended Kindercare Rewa and have all been under great care. Our eldest has just moved onto Primary School, however she still talks about her Preschool teachers. Which demonstrates the closeness and genuine relationships she had built with her teachers at Kindercare. I couldn’t recommend them more, they are supportive and caring of our kids and very welcoming of us parents. Thank you Kindercare for always creating a fun and safe environment for our kids to thrive in everyday.”

“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!”

“The Learning Corner is a warm welcoming daycare and we are 100% happy with their wonderful care. Each day we are greeted like family by both the lovely teachers and gorgeous kids. The sugar-free policy puts us at ease knowing our son is going to get good healthy (and yummy) meals each day, and he comes home buzzing about the things he has learnt during the day through their discussions and playing. Our boy has thrived there, and we have recommended The Learning Corner to many of our friends. Thanks guys – you’re awesome!”

“I absolutely love the teachers and the environment. I feel like I am leaving my baby with motherly figures who are so awesome in what they do. I have seen my baby growing up and achieving his milestones. Love every teacher in the center who do their best to help my baby. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.”

“My son loves it! He is learning so much and always has a great day. The kaiako take great care of my boy, and I love the high quality learning stories, the provocations, the beautiful large outdoor environment, the quality resources and healthy home cooked food. My son is absolutely thriving in such a sensitive period of his development and I wouldn’t take him anywhere else. He tells me about the bikes he rides, the sandpit, he sings songs and enjoys the extras that nobody else offers such as Tiny Yoga and Tiny Pet Day. I also love the special events they put on for Mothers Day/ Fathers Day, Xmas, Matariki and more. I feel like they go above and beyond! Highly recommend Tiny Voices; nowhere else compares! We are very happy :-)”

“We moved our daughter to learning tree from another centre and the quality is absolutely the best. All the staff are friendly and go the extra mile. The rooms are so inviting and warm. Thanks Learning Tree for your love and care.”

“A very attentive script-killing store!”

“Great community facility for kids to hangout and chill well run by facilitator.”

“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 :)”

“This is an exceptional daycare. It's our son's first, but we've visited lots of different daycare centres and none come close to this one. The staff in the kiwi room are brilliant and I couldn't ask for any better. The centre design is amazing. Everything is so well organised. Despite us moving far away, we were still tempted to continue taking our son to this daycare, it's that good.”

“Riverhead Montissori is and has been an amazing daycare for my three children. Reminiscent of a kindy, with a well loved environment and wholesome teaches, while still maintaining the child/teacher ratio and morning routine of a traditional Montissori daycare. The centre is well run and flexible, Rachel in admissions is seemingly always available and accomodating. Due to its community values and small country setting I feel that my children have very personalised care. For our family in particular we appreciate that there is always a very calm and happy atmosphere at drop off, I feel that this encourages my children to start a piece of work and allow me to leave without them getting overwhelmed or sad. My children also enjoy the mix of ages within the classrooms, being able to learn from those older than them and care/teach those who are younger. We cannot recommend Riverhead Montissori enough.”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to the wonderful team at the childcare for all the love, dedication, and care you have given to my son Thiano during this very important stage of his life. Thanks to each of you, Thiano has learned so much — from speaking, singing, writing, and reading to the most valuable lessons of all: learning to share, to respect others, and to understand that we are all equal. You have nurtured not only his mind but also his heart. A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing teachers who played such an important role in his growth: Sudha, Mrunalini, Nausheen, Roshika, Tushna, Shashi, Diane, and Susan. Your patience, kindness, and dedication have made this childcare a second home for my son. I feel incredibly lucky and thankful for everything you have taught him. You’ve helped shape the beautiful, kind, and curious little boy he is today. With love and appreciation, Melisa (Thiano’s mum)”

“My son goes to Lollipops Mount Albert since he was 5 months old. All the teachers are loving & caring. They look after children so well. I am very happy to send my son at lollipops. highly recommended. They have lots of activities, learning which helps children to learn, improve & grow in all aspects of life.”

“I was a bit worried about moving my sensitive 1-year-old to a new daycare after she didn't settle at the last one. But Lollipops Birkenhead has been amazing for both of us! The staff are super understanding and gentle, which has really helped her feel safe and happy there. The teachers are so patient and take the time to calm her down when she's feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she gets to do all sorts of fun and educational activities, even at her young age. I love the regular photo updates, too! I'm really grateful for the caring environment at Lollipops Birkenhead. It's been a great choice for my little one, and I appreciate how much the staff care about making sure every child feels loved and supported. I'd definitely recommend it!”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Lots to keep the kids busy and occupied.”

“My daughter loves going to her daycare. I have sen kids busy dping different activities. The teachers are lovely, dedicated and always accomodate with you. Alot of flexibility around hours as well. Highly recommend.”

“I can’t recommend this centre highly enough. It has undergone so many positive changes recently, and the impact is clear. From the centre manager to the teachers and admin staff, everyone is genuinely friendly, supportive, and dedicated to the kids well being.”

“Busy Bees Apollo has been our home for the last 4.5 years. We have our two daughters here and they love it. The teachers are caring and keep us updated on our children’s progress. We can only speak highly of this learning centre and will continue to recommend it to friends and family. Thanks for everything, BBA!”

“Nice playground, kids love it. But sometimes people can be seen smoking next to the playground.”

“Hands down, the best childcare centre in Auckland. Large format, heaps of parking, amazing, experienced teachers who connect with your child and constantly go above and beyond. From the moment you step in the centre, you're greeted with a smile and the vibe is very comforting and calm. The best thing about this centre is they have dedicated, separate rooms for ALL age groups so children under 1 have 1 room, children between 1 and 2 have a separate room and vice versa. This enables children to get the absolute best environment to learn at their own pace and flourish. There are 5 separate rooms for children and each one is heavily equipped to provide the best possible care for your child. Highly recommended!”
