Children's entertainment center in Auckland

“This was the best Day Care in Auckland. The team were loving and caring towards all the kids. I was very disappointed when they had to shut down due to water damage from the floods. They were a great asset to the area and to the kids. Hope all the team and families have found new daycares as good as this place was.”

“We've just moved to manurewa and was on the hunt for a daycare for my 3month old and 4 yrs old girls. I've been to every close by daycare centre but I've chosen Star for my girls. One main important thing that I looked out for today when I was looking for a daycare was mainly their facilities and staff might I stress this out because I want my girls especially my 3month old in safe hands. So my girls will be starting here soon. Cheers guys great work lovely staff must say I'm comfortable for my babies to come here. Nga mihi.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my little one’s daycare! The team truly sees each child as an individual and takes the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. They pay close attention to every detail and create such a caring and supportive environment. It’s so reassuring to know my child is surrounded by such lovely, attentive people every day.”

“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.”

“The absolute best. My eldest is coming to the end of her 4th year and my youngest is starting. We've loved every moment. Grateful to have amazing caring teachers and an awesome manager”

“I work near the area and it is quite convenient to have a Childcare center very close to my workplace. My daughter loves Brightsparks Childcare center and she asks me everyday including weekends “is it schooltime?” I truly recommend this place as the people who work there make you feel family. The moment you step in the center, you already know that your child is in the care of wonderful people. I see the teachers care for each one of them and really focus on their different needs. They also involve the parents by providing workshops for them to know what they do at the Center and also guide you how playtime plays a crucial part of learning and development. They even have field trips, which I enjoy with my daughter. I am a solo mum with no relatives in NZ, and Brightsparks have helped me a lot in developing my daughters social confidence and learning development!”

“It's the staff café not kids daycare”

“My daughter has been looking after very well here... very friendly and caring teachers..homely environment which assured and giving me satisfaction of leaving my child in safe hands...Supportive management in all the aspects...”

“My two children love Playcentre and they always have fun and it is so hard to get them to leave when the session has finished.”

“Our whānau had begun the transition into Nurserydale’s care but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to stop our enrolment, however I wanted to leave a review still because of the wonderful centre that it is. All the staff were super kind and you can tell that all the children are truly happy, engaged and thriving here, with tons of resources and learning through play activities. The way that the children have one main teacher for their entire stay at the centre is truly something special. What really won is over was the staffs confidence in te reo Māori, which was obvious as many of the children use kupu Māori in their speech often, and all with perfect pronunciation. It’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out be we are very grateful for Nurserydale’s kindness and support. Ngā mihi nui”

“My 2 boys Jari and Johannes absolutely loved Precious Years and formed strong connections with the teachers. We still miss the team 2 years later.”

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

“I wrote this letter to said thank you all the teachers at go banana that helped my son very well. My son been there childcare over 1 years already. All teachers are friendly and teach my son so good ,look after him very well. Now my son knows lot of things and understand a lot too. I am very happy.”

“Choosing Apple Tree for our boy has been one of the best decisions we’ve made and we’re so confident in the care and quality they provide that we’ll be enrolling our second child in the coming months. The centre is warm, welcoming, and well-equipped, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team of teachers. They are kind, supportive, and deeply committed to each child’s development. From the very beginning, we found them approachable and attentive, always taking the time to work closely with our child and support his learning journey. Over the years, we’ve watched our boy grow into a confident, curious, and happy young learner. The strong values, friendships, and early education he received at Apple Tree have given him a wonderful foundation as he prepares for primary school. We wholeheartedly recommend Apple Tree to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality childcare centre. The love, care, and dedication of the staff have left a lasting impact on our family, and we’re truly grateful for the start our boy had here.”

“Highly recommend. Teachers are lovely and warm, with the centre having a family feel to it. Lots of activities to keep them busy and care and attention given to each. Convenient location and well priced.”

“The best centre for your preschooler from birth. My grandson has developed so much this year. He has become an independent, sociable child. This is all credit to the teachers. Keep up your good work”

“Great Teachers! My Daughter really enjoyed this place. It was such a great atmosphere.”

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

“After viewing a number of daycares in the area I visited Kindercare Papatoetoe and instantly knew it was the one we had been searching for. Since then, I've sent both of my children to this centre & they always look forward to going because they have so much fun! The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and they're always learning new things. We love the way they encourage creativity and exploration. The staff are INCREDIBLE and absolutely adore the kids, and I know that they are well cared for. Communication is excellent and I love reading the regular stories and seeing the photo updates. I highly recommend Kindercare Papatoetoe!”

“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.”

“The most wonderful ECE/daycare I could have found for my little ones. I feel so so lucky and blessed to have found CK. They have helped shape my children in so many good ways. I will forever be grateful to the foundation they have helped lay.”

“Amazing staff and management. A great beginning for your kids.”

“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”

“Best daycare in the area. My Son has been attending for a year now and Takahe team teachers Padama and Susan are doing a Splendid job.”

“Both my kids went there and really enjoyed it.”
