Children's entertainment in Auckland

“The staff here are truly incredible and really care about the children's development and wellbeing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an early childhood centre in West Auckland”

“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! ❤️”

“Great facility, great staff. Indoor and outdoor pools. Slide, kids pools, wave pool, lane pools, aqua run, sauna, spa and steam room. Clean facilities and have food and drinks available to. Close to Papakura shopping center.”

“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.”

“Amongst the 4 child care centres we have tried, Childsteps is one wholesome place for your kid. Their programme is structured well to groom your child for school. The centre manager Jon, teachers Gene, Ina and the team are lovely, you can blindly trust them that your child is in safe hands. They make learning fun laying the foundation for school program.”

“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!”

“Would highly recommend Swanson PC to any family with young children. From the moment I started attending with my 2 boys I felt safe, included and supported my everyone within the tight-knit community. A massive plus is that the centre itself is super welcoming, it is clean and super spacious, not to mention the outdoor area is just amazing, surrounded by lots of trees, paddocks where horses can sometimes be seen, train tracks where a cargo train can be seen passing by most days. This centre just has so much to offer, our family loves it!”

“This place is amazing. We viewed a lot of daycare centres and I was amazed how much they differ. Tiny Voices and Eduplay were the best by far. Tiny Voices has the largest play areas - inside and outside, and all the carers are smiling and down on the floor playing with the kids. The kids are split into individual year groups so you don't have to worry about 2 year olds tripping over 6 month olds. The food smells from the kitchen are incredible. Our 11 month old transitioned within 2 weeks with no real issues and everyone who works there is so friendly it feels like we've been going for years.”

“Fantastic, inclusive environment. We greatly value and appreciate the entire team at Aubrey for taking such great care of both our boys the last few years, if we still lived closer we wouldn't be moving. We will miss you. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality childcare.”

“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 ❤️”

“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”

“Richard is so lovely. 5 stars for Richard, give him a raise and never let him leave. How can someone constantly project so much happiness every time we are in store? He never fails. Thank you Richard”

“The staff are what makes Belmont Learning Space so great. Mayzie started at 5 months of age and the team made the transition so easy for her and me! Even though she was quite young to start daycare, it was easy to see she was in the best of hands and happy. I was able to head back to work with confidence knowing she was well looked after. Even Mayzie’s Grandma who’s been a kindergarten teacher for 40 years thinks BLS is one of the best early learning centers around. Their communication is excellent and I can not recommend this place enough. We are so so lucky to have a place like BLS in our Neighborhood.”

“The staff are very nice and attentive for the safety. The place is clean. Food was good a little pricy but good quality. The toilets are clean despite is unisex and staff look after them very often. My 2.5 years old girl loves the place, every time we go there she will stay until the last minute which i normally arrive at 10am innthe morning. The place seems small in adult's eyes but massive in little eyes, I guess. We have been to many indoor playgrounds, but she spends more time in this place and does not get bored and ask to go home.”

“This is to Kai, the guy that helped me a lot today. You were amazing.. I’m so sorry for all the heavy lifting but you always said it’s okay. Thank you for bearing with me and helping me from when I got into the shop until me leaving.. thanks for taking my stuff to the car as well. You never complained and you made sure I got everything I needed… You are so humble as well!!! Even tho I wanted to give you a tip, you just kept on saying thanks. Hopefully this review is good for you. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH KAI. Keep up the good work!!!”

“I work near the area and it is quite convenient to have a Childcare center very close to my workplace. My daughter loves Brightsparks Childcare center and she asks me everyday including weekends “is it schooltime?” I truly recommend this place as the people who work there make you feel family. The moment you step in the center, you already know that your child is in the care of wonderful people. I see the teachers care for each one of them and really focus on their different needs. They also involve the parents by providing workshops for them to know what they do at the Center and also guide you how playtime plays a crucial part of learning and development. They even have field trips, which I enjoy with my daughter. I am a solo mum with no relatives in NZ, and Brightsparks have helped me a lot in developing my daughters social confidence and learning development!”

“We like KU because of the big and little people that make it what it is.”

“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.”

“They always have good sales on and I love seeing their clearance aisle. You can often find good deals if you look around. I bought the Refill Oral B tooth brush, and although the promo ended, they still allowed me to purchase it at sale price which I really appreciated. I have always had a good experience shopping at TW Pukekohe.”

“Great Teachers! My Daughter really enjoyed this place. It was such a great atmosphere.”

“Our 2-year-old loves it here! The staff are so good with him and really get him. He has the best time every day and always comes home happy (and tired, which is a bonus!). Couldn’t ask for better people looking after him.”

“So grateful for the time my daughter got to spend at Muddy Toes Red Beach. The teachers were great. Loved the small class and the outings they did. Unfortunately we moved out of the area but my daughter still asks to go to Muddy toes since we’ve gone. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my daughter.”

“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.”

“Beautiful community. Progressive education.”

“A great place for jumping, messy play, adventures and growing. Parents stay with their children and learn alongside them. A typical day at Playcentre would include activities like painting, playdough, playing in the sandpit or on swings, collage, baking, carpentry, dressing up and more!”

“We've started doing the Space classes at Takapuna Playcentre. The communication is clear and detailed, allowing us to plan effectively. The facilitators are warm, kind, and helpful. Looking forward to the rest of the term ahead!”

“This is such a wonderful Day Care. My son went here for 2 years and had a great time. The cost is very reasonable, and they get fed. They have lovely celebrations. Great teachers and good communication. Thank you to Uptown Kids.”

“I cannot recommend Vintage Kids highly enough! Our family is heartbroken to leave as we are moving away, and I genuinely worry I’ll never find a kindy as wonderful as this one. The teachers are absolutely amazing, establishing real connections with each child, even the youngest ones. The philosophy at Vintage Kids truly stands out. They create a nurturing environment that feels like home, allowing children to learn through authentic experiences and meaningful friendships across different ages. The Playgarden is a fantastic feature, connecting kids with nature, and the nutritious homemade meals are incredible. We’ve loved the quarterly picnics where the kids showcase their learning, often through storytelling, which is a fantastic way to foster creativity and communication skills. My toddler loves going to kindy every day, which speaks volumes about the joy and engagement he experiences there. Vintage Kids lays a strong foundation for children’s growth, and we are so grateful for the time we've had there. Thank you, Vintage Kids, for everything!”

“The Miller Nest Early Learning Centre and it's team is so full of love for the children and their whanau it's just beautiful. It's truly a home away from home. Love and respect can be clearly seen in each and every interaction that takes place here. You can't go wrong with The Miller Nest.”
