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.”

“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.”

“The book loan drop off box is great.”

“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!”

“My 9-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Drawing & Sketching class (Tue 3:45-5:15) with Maree. Learning to depict objects with pencil sketching added a technical dimension to her artistic skills. It was a great class for a 9-year-old who loves drawing, providing more advanced content rather than simplistic children's drawings. This class is highly recommended for kids who love drawing and want to boost their skills.”

“My family and I loved this farm. The animals and the tractor ride. The best part was the peacock. So beautiful and fun feeding the lamas. Absolutely coming back again!”

“Had coffee here with a new friend and the community manager. Great spot bustling with community initiatives. Why not pop in for coffee or lunch when in Ranui again?”

“As a first-time mum, I have walked into this journey with so many new emotions—excitement, fear, love, and constant hope that my child will be safe, cared for, and truly seen. Having my little one in the baby room for the past year has been one of the biggest blessings, and I am deeply grateful for the amazing team who have supported us both. Working at this centre for several years, I have always known how passionate and dedicated our teachers are. But experiencing it as a mother has touched me in a completely different way. The love, patience, and genuine care they show my child every single day brings me so much comfort. I see the way they nurture, celebrate milestones, and hold my baby with such warmth—and it means more than words can express. Thank you to every teacher in the baby room for embracing my child with open arms, for supporting me through my first-time mum worries, and for creating a safe, loving, and happy space. Your passion and kindness make all the difference, and I am truly, deeply appreciative. This centre isn’t just a childcare—it’s a family. And I am so grateful my child is growing here, surrounded by such wonderful people. ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to my all lovely colleges, who are giving this immense love to my child ❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”

“I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to HT/ Sanjina, Hafiza/CM and everyone at Aspirations Early Learning Centre for providing me with such a valuable and enriching experience during my placement. The support, guidance, and encouragement I received from the staff have been truly remarkable. As a student I learned so much from working alongside such passionate and dedicated educators, and the hands-on experience has greatly enhanced my teaching skills and confidence. The welcoming and nurturing environment you’ve created for both the children and staff is inspiring, and I’m grateful to have been a part of it. I’m leaving with a deeper understanding of early childhood education and feel excited to apply everything I’ve learned as I continue my journey in the field. I would like to highly recommend Aspiration Early Learning Centre if you are looking for a childcare for your child or a student teacher for your placement. Thank you once again for everything!

“Best Start Avondale has been Ezra's second home. He loves to go to daycare. The Teachers have always been looking after him since his day one and he is much loved there. Ezra has progressed well with the constant Learning, care provided by his teachers. Thank you.”

“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!”

“Best start botany junction is the best daycare I found for my son. All staff are friendly, responsible and caring. You can choose this place for your child without any doubt. Highly recommended.”

“This place is awesome! Took four teenagers to a Sunday Battlestrike session for the first time. Dion was amazing, kitting the boys out and running the games. Having the new rental guns were cool. The participants, many of them with serious kit, were super friendly and accommodating, helping the teens on and off the playing fields. Highly recommend, will be back.”

“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.”

“Maddie was our game master. Team and I played their hardest room, Titanic. Very helpful with hints and her bubbly energy was infectious. Definitely coming back here again for more!!!”

“As a first time Mummy, you want to make sure your child is safe, cared for and loved. That's what Nurture + Bloom provided for us! My son started at 5months, they have transition visits which helped me and my son immensely. The Aunties (teachers) are amazing, genuine, loving, kind and caring. They really made our transition a smooth one. My son is now 15months and thriving! Thank you Aunties for the amazing work you do and for always going above and beyond for not just my boy but for me too! You can really feel God's grace and peace in this Centre. I highly recommend.”

“I just wanted to come on here and give my feedback on Kidz Connect otahu as my son attends this day care. I want to start off by saying that I was so hesitant to send my son school so I stayed home with him for 2 years knowing that he was a shy reserved boy and thought he would be more comfortable at home with me (mum). It took me a lot of courage to finally enroll him and was abit scared how he would be since this was his first ever time being away from me hahaha. I do not regret one bit enrolling him into kidz connect, it took him a while to warm up to everyone but thank you to moa toddlers teachers for helping him prep for Huia pre school. For making him come out of his shell and finding his own voice, everyone there have made myself and my boy feel so welcomed and comfortable to the point he is happy to come to school everyday and that is a big change from my boy. Even from the amazing receptionist Val who always greets everyone who walks through the doors and making my boy feel comfortable before walking into class is what every parent want/needs. The best decision I’ve made for my son. Thank you kidz connect”

“Our child started in the under-3 class, and the transition was incredibly smooth, thanks to the loving and supportive teachers. Now that he's moved to the over-3 class, we can see how much he is learning and growing. His language skills have improved so much, and we're amazed at how he remembers all of his teachers' names—it shows how deeply connected and engaged he is with them. When he is sharing his story in daycare, it gives us such peace of mind knowing he's in a place where he feels happy and secure. We couldn't be more grateful for MyKindy Henderson and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring, enriching environment for their little one.”

“Really happy with this place! Loads of parking and it's not right by the main road, so dropping off and picking up isn't a hassle with fewer cars around. They don't cram in too many kids, so each child gets plenty of attention from the teachers. The staff are great with the little ones. Plus, there's a huge space for the kids to play and learn, with both indoor and outdoor gardens. My child come a long way here – from shy to super confident by the time she hit primary school. Couldn't be happier! It's not too expensive compared to others with meals included. A BIG THANK YOU PLC!!!”

“We’ve been sending our son to Red Kite since he was just 7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. After visiting several childcare centers in the Mt Albert/Owairaka area, this one stood out as the best in terms of its Amazing teachers, excellent management, and spacious, well-designed facilities. The teachers are consistently engaging, caring, and full of positive energy. Anita and Judy, the owners and managers of Red Kite, are outstanding—they create a welcoming and nurturing environment where children thrive. The team has supported my son through every stage of his development, from lifting his head to crawling, walking, running, talking and now even dancing! Thank you, Red Kite, for your dedication and care. I highly recommend visiting this center if you’re looking for a top-notch childcare experience.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Moved to Pukekohe about 4 months ago, visited more than 5 daycares and Pukekohe Early Learning Centre is the one that I wanted to enrol immediately without any hesitation. The centre provides different nutritional meals every day. Lots of different activities and visits and walks. The teachers there are so nice and patient with children. They care every single one of them and look for the children’s interest and find out the best way of development for them. This is also the reason my child got so easy to transit and fit into the new environment. There is always feedback from the teacher to surprise me with how much my child can do without mum and dad! Now my child has lots of new friends and always looking forward to going to preschool!”

“We have our 2 boys attend KLC and they have been cared for extremely well. The staff are incredibly caring, ensuring each child gets genuine attention and a strong foundation in learning. KLC is definitely not your usual ECE, our boy is now off to Primary and KLC has done a tremendous job in setting him up for a great start to his schooling.”

“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.”

“I'm just so impressed with the service and care that we are getting from this centre. My daughter is a very introverted girl who was very shy to teachers and kids, and she just needed extra time to get use to the environment and the new people around her when first enrolled, but I really appreciate the teachers that they never give up on my girl, they keep encouraging my daughter to participate, try new things, and see her grow, letting her know that she's safe in this centre and that she's always welcomed. Every piece of work they do at the centre is so meaningful helping my daughter to learn and grow. Whenever I go pick her up now she's always not willing to leave and that she would share a lot with me on the way home about what she has done for the day. I really cant appreciate more, thank you so much to all the teachers. I would definately recommend this centre to those that are still trying to look for a daycare.”

“I managed to get my 6yr old booked in for 2 of the 3 day camps available these holidays and she had an absolute blast! The team leaders are fantastic, knowledgeable and full of patience. The activities are varied skill levels and always another option available or challenge to be met, Kayaks, Archery Abseiling .Meals were included and a 9- 5 day was full of action- highly recommend for any kids wanting to get out of their comfort zone or city and come enjoy the coast.”

“It’s a small community Hall. The hall is perfect for kids parties, adult parties, weddings, fitness classes, church groups, social groups, sports groups, corporate functions, staff training, business planning, rehearsals, small community groups and lots more. Maximum of 50 people. Very affordable and easy. Theres a kitchen and table and chairs. The hall is a great space for the community to use.”

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