Children's entertainment in Auckland

“Both my children have attended Acorn and thrived. A lovely, relatively small centre where children receive a lot of one on one attention and the staff cater towards individual children needs. Amazing staff who genuinely care for the children and build a strong connection and sense of community with them. My boys started school confidant, independent, curious and more than ready academically after attending Acorn. Highly recommend. ”

“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”

“The Learning Corner is a warm welcoming daycare and we are 100% happy with their wonderful care. Each day we are greeted like family by both the lovely teachers and gorgeous kids. The sugar-free policy puts us at ease knowing our son is going to get good healthy (and yummy) meals each day, and he comes home buzzing about the things he has learnt during the day through their discussions and playing. Our boy has thrived there, and we have recommended The Learning Corner to many of our friends. Thanks guys – you’re awesome!”

“I am grateful to Sunbeams whānau for having taken good care of my two kids. We are so blessed to have the best teachers support our children's learning, self-discovery, holistic development. Most of all, you have a planted a beautiful seed of the living Word of God, His love embodied, ever present in our lives in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.””

“I couldn’t speak more highly of A Child’s Place. We enrolled our one-year-old son after a tough experience at a previous centre, so I was naturally cautious. But Megan and the incredible infant room team went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, settled, and genuinely cared for. One thing that really stood out to us was the primary caregiving model — having a consistent teacher who took the lead in building a strong bond with our son made a huge difference, especially as he wasn’t very familiar or comfortable with others in the beginning. He now looks forward to daycare each day — his face lights up at the mention of his teachers’ names, he runs off happily at drop-off, and I’m always greeted with the biggest smile at pick-up. The teachers are constantly engaged with the kids — whether they’re on the floor reading, outside exploring, or sitting alongside them at mealtimes, you can tell the care is genuine. The centre itself is always spotless and well-organised, and the team are incredibly responsive to any needs or changes we’ve raised. We were especially grateful for the support and advice they offered when we were navigating some sleep struggles. The care and attention to detail in sharing updates, milestones (big and small), and daily happenings make it feel like so much more than just childcare — it’s a true community and family. I’ll be forever grateful to Megan, Ross, and the team for creating such a warm, nurturing environment, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Child’s Place to anyone”

“My son loves it! He is learning so much and always has a great day. The kaiako take great care of my boy, and I love the high quality learning stories, the provocations, the beautiful large outdoor environment, the quality resources and healthy home cooked food. My son is absolutely thriving in such a sensitive period of his development and I wouldn’t take him anywhere else. He tells me about the bikes he rides, the sandpit, he sings songs and enjoys the extras that nobody else offers such as Tiny Yoga and Tiny Pet Day. I also love the special events they put on for Mothers Day/ Fathers Day, Xmas, Matariki and more. I feel like they go above and beyond! Highly recommend Tiny Voices; nowhere else compares! We are very happy :-)”

“We moved our daughter to learning tree from another centre and the quality is absolutely the best. All the staff are friendly and go the extra mile. The rooms are so inviting and warm. Thanks Learning Tree for your love and care.”

“I want to thank the person who manages and cleans the Play Arcade at West City. We accidentally left our bag with our wallets and important valuables. When we realized and went back to search, he returned everything to us, safe and untouched. We tried to offer him a reward, but he kindly refused, showing incredible honesty and kindness. Unfortunately, we forgot to ask his name, but he’s a young man with curly hair. To whoever manages him, you have an amazing employee! Please recognize and reward this young man for his exceptional character and dedication. We are so grateful for his honesty and for going above and beyond. Thank you so much— we owe you !!!”

“I've seen some bad reviews recently so thought I'd add a positive one based on my experience yesterday. I am postpartum so struggling to find clothes I fit that are affordable. Finally after looking for what I wanted at other shops where the clothes didn't fit me AND were very expensive, I went to the warehouse and found what I was looking for, and they were cheap too. I asked a long haired blondish woman who was absolutely lovely, about sizing, because I was carrying my baby it was hard to try things on. She was very accurate and my clothes fit perfectly. Thank you!”

“The Warehouse Glenfield offers a fantastic shopping experience with a wide range of affordable products. It's often quieter than other locations, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable visit. The store is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful, making it a top choice for convenient and stress-free shopping.”

“This is my go to shopping place. The prices are awesome. Most Grocery items are cheaper than the supermarket. Seriously check this out you will be pleasantly surprised. Staff are great, parking is a breeze. Theres something for everyone no matter the age.”

“Staff members are friendly, courteous, very helpful and attentive. The shop is quite huge and stock plenty of appliances and other items that will tickle you fancy. The quality is not too bad, though prices are now getting much expensive that a few years ago. Some items are priced competitively while for some other items, the price is still too high for its quality. Have plenty of parking spaces at the front, and at the side of the shop.”

“Excellent customer service and great people. We went there in a rainy day. My 8 month girl had a natural call. The shop manager lent their staff room for us to do a nappy change! Amazing people!”

“5 Stars! The food here was incredible! and the service was just as good! Would recommend to everyone who is in the area!!!”

“Besides the outdated interior the customer service here is excellent. The team at the desk from 3pm onwards was super nice on the 2nd of August. Thanks for making the day enjoyable”

“We had B4 school check with Carol and she was amazing! Best experience so far, I would recommend her 10/10”

“Wonderful little centre with caring kaitaki looking after the tamariki, our two children attended over a 2.5 year period and were very loved and nurtured through their early learning journeys, they both built amazing relationships with their kaitiaki. Lots of excursions out of the centre, outdoor play and community events. Would absolutely recommend.”

“More than a typical daycare! We’ve noticed that this more structured education is best for our children and they both love it. The teachers are all well trained offering children with the right combination of learning and fun. All children receive meals making getting them out the door easy and I’ve been impressed by the high level of communication from the staff and management.”

“Great shop lots of bargains nice staff”

“My daughter is very happy here.”

“A cool little childcare centre. Because it’s smaller it feels more like family. The teachers are great and work really well as a team to give great care and communication about what’s happening. We really like the fact that the outdoor spaces are big and have real grass growing rather than artificial.”

“A wonderful and dynamic environment for children to spend their days. My son often has to be dragged away at home time because he has so much fun when he's there. The teachers are exceptionally attentive and helpful with any concerns or questions I may have.”

“Beautiful people and beautiful food x blessings”

“We have 3 young ones and they all love Barnardos Pakuranga! The teachers are amazing and caring towards all children ❤️ the centre lead is super flexible, understanding and caring when things come up and you need to pick the kids up later or drop them off earlier”
