Children's entertainment in Auckland

“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.”

“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.”

“Quality centre，very clean，all the teachers are very responsible and friendly. My daughter has been here for 2 years，she loves to go to daycare everyday！”

“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.”

“Very impressed by the variety of activities that keep 'little one' entertained and learning by fantastic, caring staff. Great outdoor area for exploring. Highly recommend”

“My daughter attends and has grown so much in confidence, since starting her playcentre journey 9mths ago. The support of the other parents has been invaluable. 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.”

“My twin are going here and they have been loving the place and the teachers. The teachers are very caring and attentive and looks after my bubs very well. 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.”

“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.”

“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.”
