Children's entertainment in Auckland

“We changed to Junior Junction a few months ago from My Kindy and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our 2 year old settled in quickly and is thriving. The staff are so friendly, there is no staff turnover, and our daughter is happy and learning everyday. We couldn't recommend this centre more.”

“This is gonna be the coolest place to walk your dog and gets some exercise I have been coming here since I was a kid and when my children were little we'd spend a lot of time here it was given to West Auckland by Smith & caughey who has since folded now unfortunately one of the last amazing department stores that sold quality clothes perfume and other things coolest place to be with your furbaby”

“MyKindy has been the best choice for my daughter's daycare. Before enrolling, my husband and I visited every ECE center in the area and reviewed recent reports from the Education Review Office. MyKindy stood out as our top choice, and we couldn't be happier with it. My daughter is thriving and well cared for. The teachers are fantastic and have taught her her first words in Māori, English, and even sign language. The meals are healthy, well-balanced, and delicious—my picky eater always asks for more. The staff organize wonderful events, like a recent disco party, that involve the whole family and create a welcoming environment. MyKindy truly feels like home for all of us.”

“That park was where my grandparents and their five children lived including my father. They moved there about 1918 from St Andrews Road where they had a farm and Winns Store at the top of Khyber Pass. I remember it well.”

“My daughter has been attending Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury since November 2024, and previous to her joining she had been enrolled to several other daycares, kindergarten etc and not one of those centres did she enjoy more than she enjoys Wee Wisdom! I am so proud, relieved and happy that I have finally found a centre that caters to my daughter’s skills and abilities but more so encourages their children on how to become their own independent person! I have so much respect for the teachers they have been such a huge support to myself and whanau during the time we have been at Wee. A huge NGA MIHI to the teachers of Nido! Thank you for making the transition for myself and my son who has just started such an easy and comfortable process! I appreciate you all for caring, nurturing and educating my babies! I am confident to say that I absolutely recommend Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury! Nga Mihi Nui ki a kaiako ō Wee Wisdom Montessori he aroha mutunga kore!”

“My son Connor attended the centre for 3 years and loved his time. He loved all his teachers esp Amanda, Carol, Amy D, Shant, Shikha and Tonya. The care, attention, professionalism and love he received was amazing. He loved mat times and show and tell. His preparedness for school was outstanding and although he didn’t want to leave his friends and teachers he was ready to attend school with his letter writing, numeracy and problem solving skills. The centre is tidy and he loved playing in the sandpit with his friends. Thank you to team Best Start Waiata Shores!”
