“We have been part of Glenbrea Kids for almost three years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to the needs of both children and parents. My child absolutely loves going there every day, and it’s clear that the environment is nurturing, fun, and engaging. The teachers genuinely care about each child, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. I highly recommend Glenbrea Kids to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their little one. It has truly been a second home for our family, and we are so grateful for the amazing care they provide!”

“My son attended Saplings at around 1 year old. He has lots of fun and enjoys every moment there. He especially enjoyed the creative arts and crafts projects, which fostered a love for learning and creativity. He also loves playing at the sandpits which is very spacious and full of resources. The warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the staff have made a lasting positive impact on my son’s development and creativity. Thanks everyone at Saplings to help transforming my son from a shy baby boy to a confident toddler. Saplings is my son’s second home and we are glad that we picked the best daycare for him. Worths every penny! Highly recommended!”

“Lovely little centre with a real family feel. The teachers are nurturing and engaged with the children. My child attended the centre for just over a year and has loved every minute of her time there. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing center! Highly recommend”

“My boys have started here and have settled in so well. The atmosphere is lovely and teachers are fabulous.”

“Wonderful centre. Very supportive and capable staffs.”

“The best day care around. Great teachers and great facilities. Very clean and organised. Kids love going there.”

“Caroline & the team at The Speech Room have been life changing. The professional and caring therapy provided supported my daughter through communicating using NZSL, AAC whilst simultaneously working on speech sounds and vocabulary. Caroline supports not only the child, but the whole whānau with tools to help in other areas of life. The therapy is always being adjusted to meet the client where they're at, whilst also looking towards future language needs. Without The Speech Room, my daughter would have started school without intelligible speech, severely limiting her ability to connect with peers. Highly recommend”

“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!”

“Birdwood kindergarten is awesome, all 3 of mine have been through here and the teachers are so lovely. My children have love coming to birdwood x Thank you”

“Amazing staff, super happy to have my little baby girl there. The staff there treat her as if she's their own.”

“I love seeing my daughter happy and smiling when I pick her up. She is absolutely thriving here and it’s beautiful to hear about her day on the way home (she’s only two but she talks about her day with so much excitement, enthusiasm and laughter)”

“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!”

“Highly recommend. All the staff are amazing and the children love them. A safe, warm, fun environment for the kids to learn, play, and grow up in. Massive thanks to Joanne and the team!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Shining Stars . It has been an absolute blessing for our whānau. The ECC teachers go above and beyond for our tamariki, showing incredible patience, compassion, and dedication to teaching them so much more than I ever expected. They nurture not just learning but also confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I love how they celebrate every child’s uniqueness and encourage them every step of the way. The themed days like Wheels Day are always a hit with the kids, and it’s clear the teachers put a lot of thought and care into creating fun, educational experiences. From hatching chickens to learning how make use of eggs , gardening, baking, cooking ,the hands-on learning is just beautiful to witness. My little ones are always coming home with new knowledge and stories to share. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such a safe, caring, and inspiring environment. I currently have both my youngest enrolled, and I honestly feel so lucky to have found Shining Stars when I did. Each morning drop-off comes with a little sadness, knowing we’re one day closer to saying goodbye when they move on to primary school. A special thank you to Mandy and Liz who always provide thoughtful updates and feedback about what the kids are learning and how we can keep it going at home. I’m truly grateful to all the amazing ladies for everything they do. I see you,every single one of you .Shining Stars is exactly that – a shining star in our community.”

“My child loves this place. Great teachers, variety and learning experiences.”

“Great kindy. Very welcoming and clean. Teachers are super great at communicating with parents. Overall I'm very happy with their services and 100% trust my child in their care. Thank you Seeds.”

“It has been like a 2nd home to our little one. She is thriving and loving her carers and friends. They provide the most wonderful team of carers. Extremely knowledgeable and sympathetic. Could not be any happier with our choice.”
