Children's entertainment space in Auckland

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Our children finished there journey at kid country this year. After having been there for 6 years between the two of them. They have both had many amazing experiences and am so thankful for the activities and events kid country provided to our children. They both loved being there so much. I can strongly recommend with the most space we could find of any daycare for the kids to roam and great management that supports events for the children.”

“massive portions of food service was amazing staff were lovely and friendly we had such a good time the food and dinner experience was 10/10 we will be back again”

“We love Bumblebees, the staff and care our two children have had there is amazing. We will miss it dearly!”

“I have nothing but positive comments about Onehunga Kindergarten. It is such a wonderful, nurturing environment for children to explore and grow. My daughters loved the large play space, the gardening which they could be heavily involved with, the woodwork was a real highlight and something they still talk of often. The staff are incredibly caring and really tune into each child's individual needs. Our youngest daughter created a bug hotel from idea and draft design to end product which really spiked her interest in creating things from scratch. What a special place Onehunga Kindergarten is, in a wonderful community.”

“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”

“Such a wonderful kindy - lovely teachers and my daughter adores going!”

“We have been so impressed with the wonderful and supportive teachers at Aukilani Kids. They have taken great care of my 4year old who has flourished in the teaching and learning environment they provide. I would definitely recommend this daycare for anyone looking for a supportive and caring place for your child.”

“What a lovely and NZ unique place for the little ones! My boy is 9 month old. He loves here so much and has a lot of fun together with other children. He likes copying bigger kids playing and enjoys different adventures every time. I believe he likes sand and water very much. I really like here too because parents share ideas with each other, help looking after each other's kids. Friendly, caring and sharing. What a team! Thank you for all of the organizers' hard working... Feel blessed...”

“Thank you Hands at Play this is a very good daycare I had my two children here and they finished this year and the primary school teachers are very happy with my children and their progress. Thank you so much”

“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 Daughter loves going here and the staff are amazing. They play and make things with the kids that will blow your mind! Cyril is the master of making from a outside kitchen to working full size scales, Alisha is always coming home telling us all about what has been made today. Fully recommend this place :)”

“My son is currently enrolled at Tiny Stars and I cant tell how you much my son has learnt especially in the past year at Tiny Stars. Though he's playful at home, his attitude changes as soon as the gate opens and it's like he's a different person. He honestly loves Tiny Stars he sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff there too are also friendly, they keep you in the loop of your child's learning and they really value the child's learning.”

“My daughters were attending another daycare when things didnt go well and we needed to find somewhere else FAST. Mataliki was the first daycare we visited and they were able to take in both my girls, the staff are friendly and my daughter's always came home happy and looking forward to the next day. To this day they always ask if they can go back to their old school and they are both 6 and 8yrs old now.”

“The team at Coast Montessori are absolutely wonderful!! Their love, care and passion is truly remarkable. With separate zones focusing on different skills, I know my child is being developed in all the different learning aspects. My daughter loves it so much that it is a mission getting her to leave every day. Highly recommended!”

“We are blessed to have our child attending this preschool. She settled in very well from day one even though we came from another country. I can tell from a lot of details that this is a loving and caring place. Educators are passionate to work here and kids here and their parents are lovely. A wonderful experience for all of us.”

“Known as Big Himalaya or Big H. Mean place to watch the sunset or watch the boats come in or out of Half Moon Bay.”

“Cool equipment for the younger kids and climbing and flying fox for the bigger or more adventurous ones! With the beach, lots of space and toilet facilities nearby its an awesome place to visit.”

“Friendly and professional environment . My son is happy to go and I can find peace of mind while working .”

“A great wee daycare. All the staff are lovely and our son is really happy here.”
