Children's entertainment in Auckland

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about BestStart Wattle Downs Day Care! The staff is incredibly nurturing and dedicated, creating a warm and engaging environment for the kids. My child has thrived both socially and academically since starting here. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and full of stimulating activities that encourage creativity and exploration. I appreciate the strong communication from the teachers, who provide regular updates on my child’s progress. It's clear they genuinely care about each child’s development. I highly recommend BestStart Wattle Downs to any parent looking for a safe and loving place for their little ones!”

“We could not have asked for more! No one left the dance floor, everyone laughed, sang there hearts out and the smiles filled the room highly recommend xxx”

“We have had the pleasure of crossing paths with JP a few times but we finally got to work closely together for the IKEA Opening. JP is absolutely fantastic and really got the crowd working and people laughing. He's got a marvellously funny energy and brought so much magic and joy to the people waiting in queue, and then roamed about instore with his lights. Would highly recommend you grab him while he's available as a magician, circus performer, balloon artist- basically a jack of all trades for your next event!! Can't wait to work together again JP- you made the long hours sooooooo fun and jept us entertained too!!”

“Both of my daughters have attended Dreamers Nest, and I’ve been really impressed with the experience. My eldest was well prepared for school after her time there, and the transition was smooth. My younger daughter is currently enrolled and thriving. The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s development. Dreamers Nest creates a nurturing, engaging environment with the right mix of play, learning, and emotional support.”

“Reach Forward Early Learning Christian Centre has been such a blessing for our daughter. She has grown so much in confidence and has really blossomed in how she engages with others. The love, kindness, and support she receives in her learning environment is truly special. We’re especially grateful that she’s able to learn about the Bible not only at home but also at school, what a gift to have her faith nurtured in both places”

“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.”

“Absolutely love taking my daughter to Jumping Beans. The instructors are fantastic with kids and really knowledgeable about their development. My daughter loves it and I can see her confidence and skills growing each week.”

“Natalie/It's My Party was a delight to collaborate with for the Puketapapa Volunteer Recognition Awards night hosted and funded by the Puketapapa Local Board! She took our ideas and theme and executed them better than we had ever imagined! She was extremely accommodating and help us design an extravagant event within our budget. Would love to work with Natalie again, on future Auckland Council events. Thank you Nat, for all your help in delivering a successful event!”

“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.”

“Pitter Patter is my child’s first daycare. I am so glad that the whole team worked together and made my child very comfortable when he joined. I always receive all the communications related to my son. The management is so nice and friendly and My boy loves to be there all the time.”

“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.”

“A centre that feels like home when you walk through the door; we are always warmly greeted by Denise, Janna or Jane at the front desk. Kids are then welcomed into their room by the amazing, nurturing kaiako. The staff are passionate, highly skilled at their jobs and offer so much support to families; whether its helping with settling your child in the morning, toilet training or remembering what's important in each child's life at home. Amy makes the most delicious meals which our kids both loved and despite using Amy's exact recipes to recreate these meals at home, our daughter tells us "you need to ask Amy how to make it as good as hers!" We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Kindercare as we don't have whanau in Auckland, but having such a special place for our kids is the next best thing. Both our kids had five years being lovingly cared for by the unique Kindercare Silverdale team - after ten years of being part of the Kindercare whanau, it is really hard to imagine saying goodbye to the centre later this year when our baby turns five. Highly recommend!”

“Our child has been attending Kindercare Warkworth since they were 6 months old, they're just under 2 now and we can't speak more highly of our and their experience thus far. The Kaiako are friendly and loving, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and they do so many interactive activities throughout the day, no matter the weather. It's also so nice to not have to worry about packing food as meals and snacks are all covered. We've watched our child go from strength to strength with their movement, confidence, speech and everything else. On the very rare occasion that there have been issues, they've been resolved promptly and professionally and we've been involved every step of the way. We feel confident that our child is in a safe and nurturing environment and absolutely recommend Kindercare Warkworth to anyone looking for a fantastic daycare.”

“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♥️♥️”

“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.”

“Kiddywinkles has been the best decision we made when my little one was 10months old and just graduated from there at age 5 this year. Highly recommend this daycare if you're around westgate with lovely teachers, generous space for your little ones to explore, engaging activities each day. Thank you Kiddywinkles for being Kyra's best years ♥️”

“Both my grand children, 1 and 3 years old go to this daycare and they are in love with their teachers. The environment is very clean and pleasant. They provide great education with high values.Thanks”

“The teachers at Busy Minds are truly brilliant – they pay close attention to each and every child, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and understanding. As parents, we always felt supported and confident in the care our daughter was receiving. Over the past two years, we’ve watched her grow into a confident, happy little girl, and so much of that is thanks to the nurturing environment and wonderful team at Busy Minds. We’re truly grateful for everything they’ve done and highly recommend to any family looking for a caring and attentive early childhood centre.”

“My son loves going to hand and hand every day! The teachers are kind, caring, and create a safe, fun environment. We’ve seen amazing progress in his language and social skills. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a warm and supportive place for their child.”

“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!”

“My daughter loves her teachers and talks about them all the time at home. Best Start Glen Eden staff are friendly and caring, when Susie is sick her teachers always checks in. Her younger sister has also started and also feel she is in safe hands. Can’t thank best start Glen Eden enough!”
