Children's entertainment center in Auckland

“My daughter is very happy here and has made some good friends. Her carers are friendly and approachable and the centre is willing to invite feedback and improve services to help foster development at every stage. There is a great outdoor play area at the centre, as it's an older building and has a bit more space. I would also give credit to the events the centre plans and the level of effort that goes into bringing families together.”

“An amazing environment for little ones to learn, play and interact with nature. The staff are lovely, attentive and so genuine. My son is in the Kea room and when I drop him off I have peace of mind that he is being loved and cared for just like he would be at home. Highly recommend Henderson Valley private kindergarten.”

“This center is amazing. My son has been going here for nearly 2 years, and I have no complaints. The teachers are so amazing and have brought my son out of his shell. All the teachers are so patient and wonderful. They've helped my son so much, too, and he loves it there♥️♥️”

“My baby went to Wonder bee from 4 months old. We compared lots of centers, this one is the final choice.In particular, Jenny was very enthusiastic and introduced the kindergarten environment and teachers in details. Hygiene is very and teachers are all professional.Obviously, the communication was smooth. After my child joined the kindergarten, there are daily reports and photos from App every day to let parents know about the child's situation in the kindergarten. My little one learns more interesting things. I really recommend this kindergarten for parents.”

“Our son and daughter both love the staff and children at ROCC. The team create a fun nurturing safe environment for the kids to learn and explore. Love that the kids are encouraged to be active, use their imaginations and get messy. The staff and management team are extremely open, flexible and supportive. We often need to change days or increase or decrease due to our schedules and they team are always so accommodating.”

“As new immigrants to New Zealand, we were quite stressed about how our two-year-old son would manage without us in daycare, especially since both of us work full-time. It was our first time leaving him in a care center, but Pitter Patter has been absolutely amazing. The staff are wonderful and handle our son with such care and attention. He’s learning so much every day, and we no longer worry about his meals, sleep, or how he’s adjusting in a new country. Pitter Patter has truly made this transition easier for our family....”

“The teachers at Grace Christian Preschool are simply wonderful. They are incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely care about each child's development. Our son has flourished under their guidance, and we always feel so comfortable knowing he's in such great hands.”

“The most caring, nurturing group of teachers, they really are amazing! Will be forever grateful for the love my daughter receives, she loves being an Active Explorer!! A fantastic thought out centre with ample outdoor space and heaps of daily creativity through sensory/messy play, which i love getting updates on throughout my working day! Made my transition back to work as easy as it could be. Fab management as well as healthy food and snacks.”

“Best day care! All the staff are lovely. The atmosphere is welcoming. I've had 2 kids enrolled here. One has gone to school now and my second leaves in December. I literally just picked up enrollment forms to enroll my 1year old here. If you're looking for a daycare I highly recommend this one. It's hard to find a daycare where you feel safe to leave your kids. I've had my older 2 enrolled at 3 daycares before I found this one. My kids have become more confident within themselves, they enjoy/ed going to daycare and my one currently still going just adores her teachers. So yes highly recommend :)”

“I will strongly recommend Kingsway Preschool Silverdale. My son spent an amazing year here. They have excellent management and system and allow parents to know everything from school in time. All teachers are patient, creative and always have smiles on their faces. Thanks for everything. :)”

“Playday is such a special place. The Kaiako are so warm and nurturing to the children and really take the time to know them and bond with them. My son is so happy there, we love this centre and highly recommend it!”

“As a teacher here since 2009, I can honestly and proudly tell everyone that our children are safe and happy here everyday! I really enjoy taking a part of our darling children's early learning experience and sharing their joyfulness. Wish they all have the best childhood memories :)”

“Beststart Mount Wellington!! I have nothing but praise for the team at the centre. Miss Genevieve has been there since she was 6 months old and is thriving in the centre. Her teachers are so involved and encourage her in her development. She loves her time at the centre and because she is so happy I know that she is taken care of. Since day one, I can see the committment each member of the team has in ensuring my daughter is well cared for. I will happily and definitely recommend this centre to anyone who asks.”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have had our kids attend Kindercare Albany. From day one, we were welcomed into a nurturing and safe environment where every child is treated with genuine care and respect. After 8 years of experience with them, I have to say, they are AMAZING! We’ve seen our kids come home smiling, excited to tell us all about their day—and that means everything to us as parents. We’ve also seen the care and love the teachers show every single day - gently comforting upset children with long hugs, patiently explaining what’s right and helping them understand how to make good choices. It’s those small, quiet moments that show just how special this place truly is. The teachers and staffs really go above and beyond—not just to educate, but to make every day fun, engaging, and meaningful. They are exceptionally responsible and attentive, and it's clear they truly love what they do. The routines are well-structured, the communication with parents is excellent, and safety is always a top priority. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for creating such a special place, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful memories you’ve helped create.”

“Such an amazing centre with the most kind and caring Kaiako who truely love, listen to and respect their children. A centre that truely values the families they care for and involve the parents and wider Whānau as much as possible. Plus, delicious and nutritious meals are cooked for the kids every day!”

“Very good day care . Ever since my son has joined he has gained alot of confidence. Made new friends and is always happy to go there. We could see the happiness in his eyes everyday and that's all we want from any daycare. So happy !!!”

“We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old attending Henderson Learning Adventures and both absolutely love going. The teachers are amazing and the care and attention that goes into their mahi can really be felt. Sending our children in to learning adventures feels like an extension of our whānau and we know they are being loved and cared for.”

“All Saints is a great small community centre - the teachers are amazing and it is a great space for the kids! Small roll and good teacher / child ratio makes it feel a calm and safe space. Flexible hours a bonus!”

“My son started in the Kahurangi room when he was 7 months old and is just about to turn 1. I couldn’t have asked for a better start for him, the teachers are all wonderful and caring and make a fab team. My son is thriving and loves going to daycare. Would definitely recommend 100%”

“I couldn't be happier with Peekaboo Forrest Hill! From the moment my daughter started, it has been a truly wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment. They foster creativity, learning, and kindness, and I love how excited my daughter is to go each day. The communication with parents is excellent, and I appreciate the efforts they make to ensure each child's individual needs are met. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a loving and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive.”

“My son started attending Kimberley Childcare at 8 months old. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about going back to work and wanted to find a place that would not only support him developmentally but would also make him feel cared for and loved. Kimerbley Childcare is that place. Everyone at the centre, from the teachers to the staff, is welcoming and encouraging. They have not only embraced my son, but our entire family. I cannot recommend Kimberley Childcare enough. They are whanau-centered and full of aroha.”

“Is prayer with jamaat held here, Please reply”

“Peninsula Kids It has been like a second home for our son, he started going from a very young age and I always noticed a dedication from his teachers, not only in his practical requirements but also in the emotional aspect , feeling loved and content for me was an essential part and it was more than fulfilled. Every day that I leave him in childcare he stays with a smile and goes to play with his friends happily. Very grateful to the entire Team at Peninsula Kids. Andrea Munita”

“We are so lucky to have all three of our kids at tadpoles (over the years) and have nothing but great things to share about Cindy and her team. They really do care for our kids like they are their own. Always full of activities, great celebration days and always giving opportunities for kids to grow and develop. It will be a very sad day when our last child goes to school and we have no more tadpoles drop offs.”

“We have been attending Appleseed for just over two years now and we love it more and more! Mike and Mon, along with their great teaching staff make the center welcoming and are always willing to accommodate any needs we might have. We love the smaller scale and that all ages can play together. The food is great and nutritious so we always know our son is being well fed. There are always fun activities planned for the kids and great cultural experiences throughout the year. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Appleseed to anyone.”

“First and foremost the educators at Magic Kingdom in Blockhouse Bay are the most wonderful, genuinely caring nurturers. My little ‘pandemic baby’ had a total of three play dates before starting daycare at 11 months old and they made they transition for him (and me!) a positive and stress free experience. The core values and beliefs of Magic Kingdom align to my own as a parent, and knowing that my child is receiving a quality education based on those principles is important. I feel that the educators are just as invested in my child’s growth as a whole person, as I am. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and would highly recommend Magic Kingdom to anyone looking for childcare.”
