“My daughter is really happy here, and we’ve had such a great experience. The teachers are caring, creative, and passionate—you can tell they truly love what they do. The space is big and welcoming, with plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The facilities are great too. Definitely recommend!”
“Very friendly staff. Kiddo loves the teachers and has a blast every day. Multi-lingual teachers. Frequent Community activities. Great families.”
“Sent our son to Magical years for a few months. A wonderful centre with kind and supportive staff!”
“Choosing Apple Tree for our boy has been one of the best decisions we’ve made and we’re so confident in the care and quality they provide that we’ll be enrolling our second child in the coming months. The centre is warm, welcoming, and well-equipped, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team of teachers. They are kind, supportive, and deeply committed to each child’s development. From the very beginning, we found them approachable and attentive, always taking the time to work closely with our child and support his learning journey. Over the years, we’ve watched our boy grow into a confident, curious, and happy young learner. The strong values, friendships, and early education he received at Apple Tree have given him a wonderful foundation as he prepares for primary school. We wholeheartedly recommend Apple Tree to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality childcare centre. The love, care, and dedication of the staff have left a lasting impact on our family, and we’re truly grateful for the start our boy had here.”
“My son is currently enrolled at Tiny Stars and I cant tell how you much my son has learnt especially in the past year at Tiny Stars. Though he's playful at home, his attitude changes as soon as the gate opens and it's like he's a different person. He honestly loves Tiny Stars he sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff there too are also friendly, they keep you in the loop of your child's learning and they really value the child's learning.”
“My daughter has been attending this daycare for a little over two months. Despite her shyness, with the help of the teachers, she has already made friends, gained confidence, and eagerly participates in play with the other children and teachers. The teachers are extremely passionate about their work, keeping the children engaged with a wide variety of interesting activities so that they never get bored.”
“From the moment we stepped into Murrays Bay Childcare Centre, it felt like home. Originally, we had planned to enroll our daughter elsewhere, but her immediate affection for this center was undeniable. It was love at first sight. T settled in quickly, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment provided here. The teachers at MBCC are exceptional. They've not only embraced T but have also fostered a deep connection with her. It's evident that they genuinely care for each child's well-being and development. The atmosphere is consistently calm, creating a serene backdrop for learning and play. The environment is so inviting that some days, I find myself wishing I could be a child again and experience it firsthand. Overall, Murrays Bay Childcare Centre has exceeded all our expectations. We feel grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our daughter to grow and thrive.”
“Highly recommend this learning centre. Staff are very nice and very attentive, centre is very well kept, clean, and the learning here is brilliant! Our eldest went here and now our younger two. Daily updates and you can trust everything is done within ECE guidelines. Lovely daycare and kindergarten!”
“Learning Star Preschool is one of the best centers my son has been to. From the moment you speak to Farhana you will instantly feel reassured & content that your child will be okay. All the teachers are nurturing, kind, compasionate towards the children & I witnessed this firsthand with my child. They also send you updates if not daily so you are always at ease. My boy has had the best time at the center that he will cry to go in even when is unwell. I also have my 6month old newly enrolled & feel so confident that he will be taken off well. Thank you so so much Farhana & your team!”
“The fantail team did an incredible job at making our boy feel loved and safe! We loved the friendly and relaxed environment and would definitely recommend this centre for a professional and extremely caring option ❤️”
“Waitakere Kindy has been the best kindy for both my girls. The teachers are the best and the environment including the large outdoor play area are awesome. The transition from kindy to school went smoothly for my now school aged daughter but I know will be the same with my 4 year old. I’d recommend Waitakere kindy to anyone!”
“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”
“My daughter has been looking after very well here... very friendly and caring teachers..homely environment which assured and giving me satisfaction of leaving my child in safe hands...Supportive management in all the aspects...”
“Stella kids has been great for our two kids. Healthy meals, a homely environment and the best back yard! Lots of fun nature play we will miss you all when we go to school!”
“Love love love this centre. My son's been going since he was 7months old and he's now nearly 3 years old. Massey childcare has the most lovely and welcoming teachers. All are so fun and they genuinely care about the whole family not just the child attending. Hiiighly highly recommend and fees are super reasonable too! ☺️”
“Both my boys have absolutely thrived at Busy Bees. The teachers are extremely kind, the kids have such a great bond with them all! I would absolutely recommend this centre to anyone looking!”
“My first child joined when he was around 11 months old, we were obviously nervous and didn't really know what to expect. We were put at ease when our son settled in really well. All of the teachers have been consistently lovely the entire time we've been there (1.5 years now), always taking the time to talk to us if we have any questions or concerns, and just friendly in general. They seem calm and happy when we drop off and pick up, and we feel confident our child is in good hands. The owner is also calm and present at the centre and is also always approachable for any questions/concerns. The pricing is also very affordable. We are so grateful that we have had such a good experience at Happy Kids!”
“Flying Kiwi has been our absolute go-to for three of our kids, and there's no doubt it'll be the same for our fourth! Samuel, who's now 8, and Noahkai, now 6, both went there, and Elijah is still attending. It’s been nothing but good vibes all around—from the staff to the way they teach. You can tell the team really loves what they do, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine our kids going anywhere else. Total legends! If you're looking for a place that feels like home for your kids, Flying Kiwi is it. We'll be sending our youngest, Lucius, there when he's of age! ❤️”
“We get the Best Care for my Little toddler , the teachers are very professional and innovative. They have a very nice setup and facilities. I strongly recommend super kids. My baby couldn’t be happier any where else.”
“I highly recommend this centre - you know for sure your child is safe here, the multicultural environment is perfect for our little learners, the staff are always so welcoming and respectful. I appreciate this place and the staff so much for always providing a safe space and fun learning environment for my child.”
“Love this centre! My 18month and 3 year old have transitioned seamlessly thanks to the amazing staff. They are so kind and caring and the kids have such fun. Lots of fun activities to keep them busy and engaged. Plus the facilities are great, decent outside space, seperate nap room and always clean and tidy. It’s also a very calm environment which is so important for little ones. Can’t recommend it highly enough!”
“As a Mum of two sons who have attended Piccolo Park Mt Wellington, I can not rate this centre highly enough. From day one, it's been evident that this place is something special. The teachers are not just educators; they're genuine caregivers who go above and beyond to make sure every child feels loved and nurtured. The curriculum is top-notch, and it's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into what they teach the children. From educational activities to creative play, every moment is designed to inspire and engage young minds. What's more, their communication with parents is exceptional. We always feel informed and involved in our children's learning journey through all of the Educa updates and learning stories. One aspect that truly sets Piccolo Park apart is their celebration of diversity. They are not only aware of different cultures but actively celebrate them, creating a rich and inclusive environment where children learn to appreciate and respect one another's backgrounds. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Piccolo Park Mt Wellington. It's not just a childcare center; it's a second home where our children thrive and grow every day. Thank you to the amazing staff for their dedication and love!”
“Our daughter started at Kindercare Belmont in January 2021 at 17 months old. Right from the very first day, when the staff were dealing with my tears more than hers, I knew we had found the perfect daycare for our girl. She will leave Kindercare Belmont in August this year, once she turns 5 and heads off to school. Kindercare Belmont have absolutely done their job, as she is so ready for school, and is so prepared for it. The staff at Kindercare Belmont are incredible. Always friendly, ready for a chat, and legitimately know about my child and how she thrives. At the beginning of 2024, one of the goals I had written was that I wanted our daughter to be able to write her name by the end of the year. Not only could she do that, but she wrote in her teachers Christmas card herself. A true testament to the teaching taking place. Kindercare Belmont is superbly run by the incredible Jo. What a human. Jo (and her equally incredible support team of Monique, Donna and Clem) know every single child’s name AND their parents and often grandparents names. True attention to detail, and proof we are not just a number to them. Communication is frequent, I feel involved in her development and there is structure in place to ensure she thrives while at daycare. We have also formed an incredible community of her friends and classmates, with the parents getting on well too! This has been an absolute bonus for us. I truly cannot fault Kindercare Belmont at all, and will forever be grateful that we chose to enrol our girl here for daycare. It will be sad to say goodbye once she starts school.”
“Baby started at 10 moths and we havent looked back. He loves it and we feel super comfortable with him there. Teachers are very loving”
“Very inviting and welcoming centre where all parents and children are cared for and valued. Lovely environment and staff are amazing with the little ones.”
“Since the current owner Roly took over, this place is way better. I feel my child is looked after well, more closer care. She has lots of knowledge, explains well with questions. Therefore this helps me well to plan of child development. I’d recommend here especially if you have first child.”
“Thank you Hands at Play this is a very good daycare I had my two children here and they finished this year and the primary school teachers are very happy with my children and their progress. Thank you so much”
“We love little learners, we send our two boys there and they love it, teachers are caring , environment really natural and nice, and also food is very healthy.”
“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.”
“A happy place for our younger daughter. This is just home for her, a day filled with lots of activities to enjoy.She has been learning a lot of new words. Teachers have been excellent, they are quiet playful and deal with a lot of patience. I would highly recommend this daycare, anyone who is looking for a safe,secure & happy place for their child..My elder daughter has also been to this daycare. Dinkar & Gargi”
