Children's space in Auckland

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday here over the weekend and it was such a great experience. Everything was handled really well and I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The party host Kaira was so attentive and lovely and made us all feel very welcome. The rooms was decorated nicely , the food was all out very quick and the kids had so much fun! Thanks so much! We will be back for sure :)”

“Wonderful place to walk the dog and explore. Massive open space with plenty of obstacles, ponds (one cement and one natural), and mini bush walks. Dogs are allowed off leash (under control). Also noting there are quite a few horses nearby/neighbouring the reserve.”

“Lovely playground right by the library! Great to let the young ones run around and burn off energy, followed by relax time with a book! Great in the centre of the Pen.”

“Well fenced Playground, huge graded fenced area and a lot of wonderful viewpoints”

“The best playground we have been to so far. It’s in a beautiful forest and the smell of pine trees is amazing. This is a piece of serenity in a city.”

“I love every day at Playcentre with my child. Connecting with other parents and having so much fun!!!”

“Cottontails is a wonderful centre with a very friendly, family vibe. It’s never easy sending a child to daycare for the first time. Right from the get go, they helped us settle in with lots of support. At the end of the day, it’s always great to hear how much fun the children have had and the staff are always thinking of different ways for the kids to engage their senses and help develop new skills at their own pace. We can’t speak highly enough of the care and attention our son has received from the team who feel like part of our own whanau. We really would recommend them to anyone!”

“We can never thank Julie, the Principal of Epsom South enough for accommodating our nephew, who was almost classified as a special needs child. They transformed him into one gifted child in 3 months. No words to praise the skills, dedication, cultural competency of the teachers. Large outdoor play area, gardening for kids, creativity area, library, chickens and bird duty, the list will be endless.”

“From the first moment we walked into Albany Community Preschools' gates, we have felt welcomed and 'taken care of'. The teachers are all so lovely and warm. They have taken the time to get to know our son and he is excited to go to Preschool each day. He has even asked to go to school on the weekend and when I pick him up he wants to stay a little longer. Cannot recommend this preschool more!”

“Really helpful and kind people.”

“Creative Garden Early Learning Dowson is the best where my little girl grown up since 18 months upto recent. Thank you to all Teachers.”

“I attended an event at Daf's Playground and was very impressed with the set-up. The space accommodated a large number of guests, however, it still felt intimate. A very enjoyable experience! I have been raving about the venue to friends/family, it’s truely a fantastic space!”

“Barnardos Manurewa is an incredible daycare. The teachers are loving, welcoming and always having the children's educational needs front of mind. They have a very clean facility and maintain a high standard of safety for the children too. Best daycare in South Auckland for sure!”

“Kids really enjoyed themselves. A little small for the amount of people that go there. Right opposite the beach.”

“My daughter has been going to Childspace for two years and we have been so happy with it. The teachers are amazing, nurturing and so friendly. Our daughter often comes home wanting to show or teach us something that she learnt at Childspace that day and it gives us the confidence that she is going to be well prepared for starting school next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Childspace to anyone looking for quality daycare.”

“Great little shop and the one charity shop in the area that actually prices everything fairly. Friendly staff. Wish the opening hours were a bit longer. Keep up the good work.”

“Highly recommend DBK, the staff are warm, welcoming and take great care of the kids. The outside space is large with plenty of play equipment, perfect for kids who love being outdoors like mine. The staff have been so helpful with my Autistic sons extra needs and making referrals for supports for him.”

“My little toddler absolutely loves coming to Little Ranges daycare! She is THRIVING under their care. The attention and genuine love they give her everyday has transformed our little 1 year old and we are so so grateful we found them! A bit of a back story is we moved her from another daycare (one of the most well known ones in Henderson Heights) because I noticed she’s just not as happy as she used to be, it just wasn’t the right fit. So I was sooo pleased that ever since she started going to Little Ranges she has FLOURISHED! Love the team at little ranges thank you for loving our girl! If you are looking for a team who will truly be your partner in raising your child, look no further than Little ranges :) 10 star all the way!!”

“We visited Magic Loft Avondale with our two boys and had such a good time. The staff were warm and genuinely welcoming. My kids were busy, happy and safe in the playground while I relaxed in the café area, still able to keep an eye on them. The space was set up well for families, fun for the kids, comfortable for adults. We’ll definitely go back.”

“My daughter attended Biggles for 3 years and loved it. Very friendly and whanau focused centre. Teachers are well informed, connected and caring. Thank you all so very much!”
