Children's entertainment center in Whangaparāoa

“I have had my two boys through Little Poppy's and they have had the best time there. They have a large outdoor area which is perfect for my busy boys. The teachers are very nurturing and always plan for exciting and fun experiences for the children. My children also rave about the meals, which as a parent, is comforting knowing that they are well fed. I highly recommend Little Poppy's Preschool to anyone wanting a homely, safe and fun environment for your precious little ones.”

“We love Tindalls Garden! We have viewed many ECEs in the area prior to moving to the coast and Tindalls Garden really stood out. The environment was positive, bright and spacious. Plenty of educational opportunities for the children, plenty of play too. Great spaces for children from babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. There's a tennis court at the back which my little one absolutely loves! All of the teachers there are AMAZING! They are attentive, caring, and they truly have the best interests at heart for the children. My little girl has been at her happiest at Tindalls, she has built a great relationship with her teachers and made heaps of good friends. We are also appreciative of the safety gates they have in place to ensure children remain in the centre's. We highly recommend Tindalls Garden ECE! 10/10 ⭐️”

“My son is very happy here at Beststart Whangaparaoa. The staff are kind and caring, my son has a good bond with all of them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave. He’s happy, confident and thriving there. Would recommend Best Start Whangaparaoa to everyone!”

“Living far away from our families, FAME Preschool quickly became our family-away-from-home. We couldn't have wished for a better place to introduce our 2 daughters to the school system. The team is warm, welcoming, engaging, professional and fun. They have taken such well care of our little ones as well as of us as a family at times of need. We would highly recommend!”

“I am absolutely obsessed with Small Sprouts! My little one started there 8 months ago and has absolutely thrived. The teaching staff are so incredible, really gentle in their communication and focus on emotions in a way that is really effective. My girl has grown leaps and bounds in her communication and vocabulary since starting and is so excited to go to daycare everyday. It’s such a relief to leave them when you know they are happy and loved, which I know she absolutely is at Sprouts. The owners are a kind, young, local family who have a really good understanding for what parents and children need in a daycare and have worked hard to repurpose Small Sprouts into the awesome little centre that it is!”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Definitely one of the best activity to do with your baby! It's fun for both parents and kids. Plus, a great opportunity to find new friends. Highly recommend.”

“My youngest boy spent over two years at brightbears preeschool and had the most amazing time! The teachers are all so amazing and really made us feel like a family. They are super caring but also make the kids independent and help then get prepared for school. My boy knew how to count, spell and write certain words before he even went to school and it was all thanks to them. They don't have huge enrollments which makes it even nicer and after trying three other preschools/daycare in the area I'm so glad we found you guys. Highly recommend.”

“We love Montessori beginnings! My daughter is always happy to go and she talks about how much she loves it. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and I appreciate all of them. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter go here!”

“This place is so incredible. If you are looking for an alternative to kindy or daycares this is your place. It’s warm, inviting and friendly whilst having the most amazing Educators and staff. They really have a passion for what they do and it shows.”

“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.”

“Pure Magic! This is honestly the best daycare centre ever. I feel like a lot of parents don't know about it. It is absolutely incredible. All the the teachers have so much magic with all the children. We are so grateful to be part of Starfish family. All the teachers are so friendly and are so good with the kids that you really feel at ease when you're trusting them with your child. It is their home away from home after all. Our boy found so many lovely friends here, we are forever grateful that we have discovered this centre. There are so many activities for the kids and they learn so much here. The teachers put so much effort into their every day. Thank you all so much! We couldn't be happier. You can really tell that everyone that works here are truly passionate about children and really want to see them learn and explore. One owner based and you can just tell how much effort, passion and magic they have here at Starfish. It is definitely a hidden gem here on the Coast. We are so fortunate to be able to have a place here for our boy. Thank you so much to all the Starfish team, you are absolutely incredible! You make our days every single day! You are truly the best! Nataliya and Tom”

“My now 7yo had an amazing birthday party here with 20 of her friends - she described it as the "perfect party". Huge thanks to Lisa who was a brilliant host - accomodating, ran fun games. So impressed!”

“My two kids LOVE this centre! I would definitely recommend little coasties, have been to a couple and this one is by far all of our favourite! They serve nutritious lunches for our children and are very affordable aswell! Lovely teachers, beautiful centre and amazing children there! Highly recommend!”
