Children's entertainment room in Auckland

“I had the pleasure of having all three of my children attend Learning Unlimited over a five-year period, and we couldn’t have been happier with the center. We only had to leave when we moved too far away. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly, and approachable. They took a genuine interest in my children’s passions and nurtured their curiosity and love for learning. My eldest son thrived in his love of writing, my daughter enjoyed assisting the teachers with everyday tasks, and my younger son loved exploring animals. The communication, both in person and online, was always clear and informative, making us feel included and up to date on everything important. I would highly recommend this center to any family or friends, and I have done so many times!”

“My 9-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Drawing & Sketching class (Tue 3:45-5:15) with Maree. Learning to depict objects with pencil sketching added a technical dimension to her artistic skills. It was a great class for a 9-year-old who loves drawing, providing more advanced content rather than simplistic children's drawings. This class is highly recommended for kids who love drawing and want to boost their skills.”

“Had coffee here with a new friend and the community manager. Great spot bustling with community initiatives. Why not pop in for coffee or lunch when in Ranui again?”

“Great theatre. Good play and d acting. Very comfortable”

“It was a great experience and learning for my son who is autistic. All the teachers are very supportive and the Manager is very nice. Overall it was a good experience to be in this Centre.”

“Lovely intimate theatre. The quality of the play I saw there (Grand Horizons) was fantastic. The set design was incredible and the acting was practically professional level. The price of the ticket was very reasonable, and there is a bar that you can buy drinks and snacks from. A great night out, would highly recommend.”

“Being foreign to the country, I was skeptical about starting my little one in just any baby class. But at Rockabye we've felt welcome from day 1. All the staff go out of their way with planning days, fresh daily set-ups, informing you of your kid's progress and keeping track of his growth and milestones. This was my first choice as I'm working just down the road from there but if I'd worked further, this would still be my first option! They really ROCK!”

“This place is awesome! Took four teenagers to a Sunday Battlestrike session for the first time. Dion was amazing, kitting the boys out and running the games. Having the new rental guns were cool. The participants, many of them with serious kit, were super friendly and accommodating, helping the teens on and off the playing fields. Highly recommend, will be back.”

“My child has been attending Pascals Albany for three years and absolutely loves it. The centre's welcoming environment and caring teachers are truly noteworthy. It's amazing how they treat us like family and inform us about my child's progress daily. I highly recommend Pascals Albany to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive childhood centre.”

“Maddie was our game master. Team and I played their hardest room, Titanic. Very helpful with hints and her bubbly energy was infectious. Definitely coming back here again for more!!!”

“As a first time Mummy, you want to make sure your child is safe, cared for and loved. That's what Nurture + Bloom provided for us! My son started at 5months, they have transition visits which helped me and my son immensely. The Aunties (teachers) are amazing, genuine, loving, kind and caring. They really made our transition a smooth one. My son is now 15months and thriving! Thank you Aunties for the amazing work you do and for always going above and beyond for not just my boy but for me too! You can really feel God's grace and peace in this Centre. I highly recommend.”

“Forever grateful to the Gillies team especially - Sara, Nape, Celine, Nithy, Leigh and Thelma. For consistency, accommodating, and compassion. My daughter has flourished and grown over the 4 years she has been a student at BestStart. It has been her home away from home and she has spent more time with this team then some of her own relatives. She has never complained or raised any concerns.”

“A clean and tidy center where you want to send your kids. The most important thing to about this center is that the teachers are very supportive of your child’s need in terms of knowledge enrichment. The center has loads of activities included in their curriculum to educate kids about front line workers, festivals, diversity, and other important dates. The center is diverse culturally and neurodiverse too. That being said, they listen to parents and note the goals for your child and work towards accomplishing those goals. Definitely recommend and one of the best centers in south Auckland.”

“Best Start Manuroa Road was our top choice for part time care after visiting 4 other facilities within our area. I loved how energetic, welcoming and informative the admin team were. I also love how genuine and engaging the teachers were with the babies. This alone set them apart from the other centres not to mention their centre spaces are sun drenched and well cared for. We’re so happy here!! -Matai Nursery Parent”

“I wanted to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for the wonderful care and support you’ve provided to my children. It’s been so reassuring to know that they are not only in a safe and nurturing environment but also thriving in their personal development. Over the time they’ve been with you, I’ve noticed such growth in their confidence, communication skills, and emotional maturity. The activities, routines, and individual attention you give them have had a lasting impact, and they’ve learned so much under your guidance. It’s evident that the team is dedicated to fostering a positive and well-rounded environment for the children, and I can’t thank you enough for that. I am truly grateful for everything you do to help my children grow. Thank you for being such an integral part of their development and well-being.”

“It’s a small community Hall. The hall is perfect for kids parties, adult parties, weddings, fitness classes, church groups, social groups, sports groups, corporate functions, staff training, business planning, rehearsals, small community groups and lots more. Maximum of 50 people. Very affordable and easy. Theres a kitchen and table and chairs. The hall is a great space for the community to use.”

“Always friendly, great place to go for baby clothes that are different.”

“Pretty mint playground, segregated into 3 parts - there is this mini obstacle course which was very cool. Bonus dairy and takeaway just meters away. Nice to see kids making their way to shops in their little packs, giving me nostalgic vibes. Plenty of parking too.”

“Absolutely amazing hall. Clean, modern and fairly priced. Booking and everything was so easy and smooth. Great quick responses when we messaged. The hall came with everything you would need for your event. My son’s first birthday here was everything we wanted it to be! Extremely grateful and will be booking here again whenever we have an event.”

“Another iconic place in Auckland for theatre and arts. Wonderful performances and a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.”

“grandsons favourite especially with the train and the fort. Great parking and well off the road and toilets handy with cafe across the road or other side of the park. Magic”

“Awesome staff and crew. Aaron was very helpful. He made sure all our kids are well taken cared of. He extends his helping hands to the kids and the kids had so much fun. He was also always there to help me in all my party needs. The kids had a blast on this day! This is a party to definitely remember! Our birthday girl was ecstatic!”

“As a new mother I was told not to trust the big franchises as they do not have a quality of care. After having my child attend 2 different big branded daycares I almost believed them. That’s until I started my son here. Millennium Ellerslie has shown the upmost support and care for my child. He has severe eczema and allergies to wheat and egg and they’ve accommodated his needs and wellbeing without excluding him or singling him out. They’re honest go above and beyond. They’re honest, respectful and caring and my husband and I rave about how pleased we are with this centre. The teachers and staff are amazing and my son always feels welcome and happy when we arrive and leave. Thank you all for your patience and professionalism.”

“Amazing service ! Had so much fun and very accommodating. We have 6 children ages 4-13 and she made sure to accommodate to them all. So much fun for them as well as us parents. Definitely recommend. Also the lasertag space is the perfect size, not too small yet not too big.”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“Plenty of activities on during the month. Keep up the good work.”

“We had such an amazing time on the fire truck! The team were able to secure us a booking with short notice, and were flexible with what we wanted. They communicated with us well and everything went off without a hitch! The experience on the bus was fantastic, drinks are well priced and yum. The sound system is fab and we were blasting our tunes the entire time. Such an awesome way to make an event special, or add some extra flair getting from A to B. We were so well looked after and our entire group were blown away with the quality of service and how easy everything was. Would highly reccomend! The price is totally worth it for all the fun you get!”

“I recently purchased a table from Oak Furniture Store, and I couldn't be more pleased! It's been fantastic, especially in small spaces, where its multifunctional design really shines. Whether I'm using it for dining or as a workspace, it adapts perfectly. The setup was a breeze with the easy-to-follow instructions, making the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend this table for anyone looking for both style and practicality!”

“Amazing service and beautiful quality of all their products. This is the first store that my husband and I have been to where the owners have been so incredibly helpful and so kind. In response to this we have decided to purchase the bulk of what we need for our baby as we have seen first hand the fine quality of absolutely everything they stock in store plus the respect we have in the store owners.”
