Children's entertainment room in Auckland

“Love this place. The staff was so nice.”

“Legendary, super fun experience with incredibly helpful staff. Special shout-out to Raj and Avin! We only found out about the student discounts after paying, and they went out of their way to process a refund for us. Truly appreciated. Highly recommend.”

“Very nice wooden dance floor in the hall. It's not a huge hall so great for small to medium sized events, maybe max about 50 people.”

“my moko is new to this place, staff are always welcoming a cross section of mum's dad's & grand careers as well... the children have fun, there's so much variety of activities to do here.... very popular place...”

“Absolutely loved my experience with Adrian and Naomi! Loved the different atmospheres of the whole experience within the Te Uru Gallery along with the workspaces that really intrigued both myself and our children of Henderson South School!”

“Bought an O'Neill wetsuit from the store, the guys there were very friendly and really easy to buy from. Never been to the store before, it has a huge amount of choice of clothes for surf and land and has kids wetsuits - great shop!! Thanks guys! :)”

“I would like to thank the wonderful team at The Learning Corner for teaching, guiding, mentoring and taking care of our daughter from February to April 2025, when she transitioned to Primary School age. My daughter was enthusiastic about going to the Learning Corner and had lots to speak about when she would come home every day - about her friends and particularly all her teachers. She loved all the activites, fun programmes and games at this insitituion. Most importantly she felt loved and felt safe at the Learning Corner. She enjoyed, grew and matured under their able guidance and their efforts together with the wonderful team of teachers and staff. We were blessed to have your support and encouragement, as a new family settling into New Zealand academic system and life. We are immensely grateful for every blessing that we have received from The Learning Corner.”

“Awesome place for kids’ parties! We had so much fun at Timezone. A special shout-out to our lovely host, Marcus — he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and did an amazing job supervising the children. He also offered great support to parents and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended!”

“We rate this daycare so highly, our daughter is nearly 3 and has been going since she was 10 months old. The teachers and staff are so welcome and nurturing, our daughter absolutely adores them all and loves going. It’s amazing to see how well children can succeed in such a loving environment. Other than the care and amazing learning provided it also exceeded our expectations with food provided. Every day a healthy cooked meal is provided meeting all of our child’s nutritional needs and this takes such a big weight off needing to make packed lunches. Wouldn’t send our child anywhere else :)”

“I completed my field placement in the babies room at Happy Turtle Childcare, and it was a truly rewarding experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, and I learned so much from their nurturing and professional approach. I had the chance to support daily routines, engage in play-based learning, and build meaningful connections with the infants. The environment was calm, safe, and thoughtfully set up for early development. This placement helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a caring team. Amandeep kaur Somal”

“Hands down, the best childcare centre in Auckland. Large format, heaps of parking, amazing, experienced teachers who connect with your child and constantly go above and beyond. From the moment you step in the centre, you're greeted with a smile and the vibe is very comforting and calm. The best thing about this centre is they have dedicated, separate rooms for ALL age groups so children under 1 have 1 room, children between 1 and 2 have a separate room and vice versa. This enables children to get the absolute best environment to learn at their own pace and flourish. There are 5 separate rooms for children and each one is heavily equipped to provide the best possible care for your child. Highly recommended!”

“Busy Bees Apollo has been our home for the last 4.5 years. We have our two daughters here and they love it. The teachers are caring and keep us updated on our children’s progress. We can only speak highly of this learning centre and will continue to recommend it to friends and family. Thanks for everything, BBA!”

“We had a great time on all the games. I especially enjoyed the No Mans Land VR free-roam no cables team battle shooter!”

“We were so late to a birthday and were stuck on what to buy. I was also worried we would need to find wrapping paper somewhere. I tell you, this store has it all! Raman was so lovely. Not only did she help us pick something out for our birthday boy, but she wrapped it so beautifully for a small fee! AMAZING SERVICE!!!”

“I went to this on one Saturday and the friendly and nice looking Filipino staff was amazing. She helped me reset my password which hasn't been used for ages and find some credits in my my account. With her wonderful service, I successfully completed my printing job. It is a shame I didn't get her name. I think she's a Filipino immigrant.”

“My daughter who is goin to turn 2yrs old soon is attending this day care from last year. She enjoys to be here every day. You wll have huge support from not only teachers but from manager and adminstrator too. These team is lovely and energitic. You can keep calm and stressfree after leaving your child here. They know and will keep you updated of everything so you dont feel like your loosin connection w your child for those hours. Love this centre very much and I recommend to all those parents who are looking growth and development in their child w love and care.”

“What a wonderful library with a great zine section and makers area with sewing machines. There is also a cafe attached which serves up some good coffee.”

“What a treasure this Centre is! Like falling down a rabbit hole and ending up in Wonderland/Wonka's Chocolate factory... the staff are warm and friendly, the care is second to none and our child has improved in all development areas in the 5 months he has been here. To support all children in their individual learning journey, where they're at, and become a part of every whanau - AE Pap I truly am grateful we found you and that we have you in our corner in G's last year before Primary School. From Katie, Debbie to the volunteer student teachers, relievers, teachers, the Centre cook - I am so grateful to each person and the role they play. I will forever recommend and sing the praises of this Centre”

“First time visiting yesterday to find a wedding guest dress for my mum. Really impressed by the clothing and also the ladies Al and Kirstin were so helpful. They let us go in the larger room to try on clothes so we could go together and also helped us look for options. Will definitely be back!”

“We chose private hire of party kingdom, not only was it clean, safe and it was a cool temperature during a hot day, they went above and beyond setting up two parties rooms and Eve the owner setup an extra party room as a disco room which was a hit, I found the price extremely cheap and lucky for what we were provided, the service was amazing and run by a local family. If you want real effort and real service this is the place to go as I will be telling everyone. We plan parties for children everyday this is our life I decided I couldn’t do it this year as it’s our job and it was the least stressful birthday I have ever had, We were very fortunate and my kids can’t wait to do this again. Eve and Adam have created such a wonderful place for families I couldn’t recommend it more. Edit: Reading the bad reviews below on what people are complaining about really hits home, this is a family run business not a corporation, businesses cost money, us family run businesses can’t afford multiple staff, I feel like some people nothing still ever be good enough, people need a reality check. Eve juggled so many people at our party and everyone was actually over the moon. Don’t spend $9 and complain about it what is wrong with you people.”

“This park is always clean and well maintained. Though its not a main park its always looking like one. Great area for kids to play. Maybe have a sunsade somewhere? Thats a bit to ask but wont know unless you ask.”

“Great space fun for all ages. Plenty of shade.”

“A lovely well managed little community centre with different size rooms for hire and many community and business activities.”

“Beautiful venue with ample parking close. Show we went to see was great. Snacks and drinks available. Kids friendly.”

“Nice kids playground. Even has basketball court and public toilet. Awesome place.”

“I visited with a friend of mine looking for a daycare close to their work. I loved the natural focus on the centre. Earthy colour scheme in the large classrooms, and a huge outdoor area, even a bush walk for the children to enjoy. Some of the preschool children had just pulled some radishes out of the garden and were proudly showing us what they had grown. The staff and management were friendly and professional, and to my delight, there was even a teacher who taught my son in a neighbouring daycare 6 years ago, whom we thought of highly back when my son was at daycare. There were also two male teachers, which is excellent as they are so hard to find in ECE and super valuable, especially if you have a boy. I would thoroughly recommend this daycare!”

“You can buy many things at an affordable price. There is also a person who sells dates. Wonderful dates and he offers to taste before you buy. I bought from all the varieties he had.”

“Had my daughter’s 3rd Birthday here and it was honestly so incredible. Ryan and his team communicated everything so well, from the party room, to the decorations to what kind of food we wanted. The actual playground is clean and tidy and the viewing space for adults is big! You don’t feel crowded at all. We have gone to other indoor playgrounds before and the space is so cramped and uncomfortable! They have such a huge range of party decorations and themes and add on options for the parties it really is a one stop shop!! Will definitely be recommending this to all my Mummy friends and will be back to celebrate more of my kids birthdays! Thank you Ryan and Team!”

“Amazing place for birthday celebrations. I had my 5 year Olds celebration today and the host was amazing.”
