“We have always felt like family here. My two boys attended from 2019-2024. The food is fab. The place is always clean. No need is too much hassle. All staff are caring and understanding. They match your sleep routine. The centre has many celebration days like Diwali, Chinese New Year, Valentines Day, Samoan language week, Matariki etc. The Christmas party is free and wonderful. Mr whippy on tap as well as bouncy castles and santa.”
“Our son has progressed well this year. We moved across to New Zealand this year and this was his first daycare experience. It didn't take him long to settle in and he has done well with the help of all staff. Recommend to be safe and exellent day care and early learning center.”
“My 2 boys Jari and Johannes absolutely loved Precious Years and formed strong connections with the teachers. We still miss the team 2 years later.”
“The most wonderful ECE/daycare I could have found for my little ones. I feel so so lucky and blessed to have found CK. They have helped shape my children in so many good ways. I will forever be grateful to the foundation they have helped lay.”
“This kindergarten boasts a wide range of interactive learning tools, natural resources, and a kind, thoughtful head teacher. They look after my little brother with so much care, and I can see his awesome progress thanks to their regular updates through photos and videos. There is no better place to send your children.”
“Next Generation is an incredible daycare and the best environment I could have envisioned for my daughter who just graduated to school. The teachers at the 15 and 19 Gatman location are warm, caring, and highly engaged with the children. They have a balance of creative outdoor play, amazing art projects related to themes they're learning about, and working on school readiness skills using educational games and activities. Kindness and community are emphasized and the staff really care about parents' goals for their children. The centre is an organized and calm environment for the kids with a good educator to child ratio. They post amazing photos every day with learning stories! My daughter loved all her teachers and friends there and her confidence grew and grew so that the transition to school was really easy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a daycare in the area.”
“Cottontails is a wonderful centre with a very friendly, family vibe. It’s never easy sending a child to daycare for the first time. Right from the get go, they helped us settle in with lots of support. At the end of the day, it’s always great to hear how much fun the children have had and the staff are always thinking of different ways for the kids to engage their senses and help develop new skills at their own pace. We can’t speak highly enough of the care and attention our son has received from the team who feel like part of our own whanau. We really would recommend them to anyone!”
“i enrolled my son here as soon as they opened and it is, by far, the best i have come across. the staff are all caring, friendly and happy to help in anyway possible. every day my son comes home and has something new and exciting to show me that he has learnt. he is making me so proud and i know a major part of it is because of the wonderful staff, they always make you feel right at home, like you are part of a great family. i wish he could stay there forever. haha. A+++ for A1 kids.”

“To all the teachers of Little Climbers Mangere. Thank you so much for making my daughter Inaaya welcomed in your care. I impressed with how you all are so patient and caring and encourage my child to grow i.e.Be confident of herself and able to express what she feels and wants. Mostly she feels that she is loved and safe in your care. I enrolled Inaaya so that she learns to make friends and build teamwork. And now she is confident to approach anyone where ever we go. Also she is learning new cultures and language making me a proud mum. As parents it gives both of us peace of mind our daughter is safe away from home.Thank you so much for all the support.”
“Love this place! Both my kids love their time here. Always new, fun, creative learning happening with A+++ teachers”
“Amazing ECE. Our boy loves it, loves the teachers and has such a great time.”
“After viewing a number of daycares in the area I visited Kindercare Papatoetoe and instantly knew it was the one we had been searching for. Since then, I've sent both of my children to this centre & they always look forward to going because they have so much fun! The activities are engaging and age-appropriate, and they're always learning new things. We love the way they encourage creativity and exploration. The staff are INCREDIBLE and absolutely adore the kids, and I know that they are well cared for. Communication is excellent and I love reading the regular stories and seeing the photo updates. I highly recommend Kindercare Papatoetoe!”
“Love Jojo’s, the teachers are all so fantastic. My son is very happy here”
“My son adores it here. The teachers are so loving, interested, playful and kind. I feel so lucky to be part of the Rutherford preschool community. I don’t know of many parents who rave about their daycare, but the parents at Rutherford do. Only downside is the hours.”

The diverse and well resourced play areas cater to everyone from quite story time to fun messy play. The sky is the limit! The Centre is located in a great area, close to Mt Eden Village. Plenty of parking available.”

They are learning new things and my toddlers are always excited to go to the day care, that shows how happy are my children at Busy bee Mt Wellington. Thank you to all the teachers at Busy bee”
“Caring and very friendly staff, children are all happy and comfortable. The way in can be tough during peak hours and needs some shelter from bad weather.”
“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.”
“Amazing & friendly staff. Very welcoming and we are blessed to have Baby M Here not only reminds her of when she was at her first daycare why she fit in so well also learning, communication is important to us for her.”
“I am incredibly pleased with the care my child receives at Lil champs Papatoetoe. He started his daycare since he was 10 months old and the staff are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. The environment is clean, stimulating, and full of engaging activities that support my child's development. I appreciate the open communication and the daily updates on my child's progress through story park. It's clear that Punitaji, Eunite & team is dedicated to creating a nurturing and safe space. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a trustworthy and enriching place for their child.”
“Wow, what a fantastic team with with so much heart and caring mindset. My daughter used to weep every time I left her at other daycares, was frightened of everything from baloons to fireworks , had troubles with eating and using the restroom independently before she started attending this daycare. She overcame her worries with the support of the whole team at Dazzling Stars. In addition, my kid has never been the most adventurous eater, but the cook there always made sure she got tasty meals.The experience with Dazzling Stars was so transformative to the point that she started crying when it was time to go. I can't say I blame her; every time I went there, I was having so much fun that I didn't want to leave. Every day, we were greeted with so much happiness and laughter, both of us had a blast. Dazzling Stars crew is more like a family to us than just a daycare. They have my unending gratitude and admiration for all they have done to shape my daughter into the person she is today.To those seeking the childcare, your search is over. You may rest assured that this is the best option for your child and for you. P.S Lola and I miss you guys so much. I plan to keep dropping over anytime I'm close by for a dose of happiness, laughter, and hugs.”
“Our whānau had begun the transition into Nurserydale’s care but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to stop our enrolment, however I wanted to leave a review still because of the wonderful centre that it is. All the staff were super kind and you can tell that all the children are truly happy, engaged and thriving here, with tons of resources and learning through play activities. The way that the children have one main teacher for their entire stay at the centre is truly something special. What really won is over was the staffs confidence in te reo Māori, which was obvious as many of the children use kupu Māori in their speech often, and all with perfect pronunciation. It’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out be we are very grateful for Nurserydale’s kindness and support. Ngā mihi nui”
“Great centre with the most gorgeous rooms and staff”
“This Reserve one side got tall trees and the other side small open field. Good to place for your dogs to run around. One bench in the park. No public toilet here. Looks clean and tidy”
“Fantastic service. The teachers really care about the children. It's so great to see my son playing with all the other kids and get the support he needs.”
“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.”
