“Great school with a great view.”

“We toured several daycares before settling on Peekaboo and have been so happy with our choice! The low teacher to child ratios and small nature of the center was what drew us to Peekaboo and we haven't regretted our choice since. Our little one started at 9 months and has absolutely flourished at Peekaboo. The teachers are amazing and we were made to feel welcome and part of the family from the get go. I highly recommend them!”

“I feel welcomed and I’m happy to study here.”

“I have had multiple children attend The Grange early learning centre over the past eight years. In the past five years I have noticed a lot of new resources, new programmes and learning activities. This childcare stands out from the rest due to their amazing teachers many of which have been there for a very long time. The centre has been a home away from home for my family. Thank you for being the best childcare out West!!”

“An absolute wonderful and inclusive school , very accommodating and caring.”

“I would recommend this preschool without hesitation. My son has absolutely thrived here, and our family will be forever grateful for the warmth, care, and dedication of the teachers. The nurturing environment has supported his growth in so many ways, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to his learning journey”

“Best ECE /Kindergarten in New Zealand. Anchorage Park Kindergarten is the heart and soul of the community. The highly qualified teachers not only provide an amazing space and experience and love for my little ones, but genuinely care about our family as a whole. They catered to the special needs of my children, willing to adapt and try new things to help my children thrive. When new to the area they connected us with other families that have grown into lasting friendships for my children and us as parents. When my spouse went through a mental crisis I felt love and support for our family from them. They connected us to resources and support I couldn't have found on my own. They inquire about my older children, and remember their names despite years gone past since they were at kindy. They supported me in getting back into work. This wonderful team at Anchorage Park Kindergarten cultivates the space for my children to grow, and fosters a loving community so that I, as a parent, grow too.”

“First and foremost the educators at Magic Kingdom in Blockhouse Bay are the most wonderful, genuinely caring nurturers. My little ‘pandemic baby’ had a total of three play dates before starting daycare at 11 months old and they made they transition for him (and me!) a positive and stress free experience. The core values and beliefs of Magic Kingdom align to my own as a parent, and knowing that my child is receiving a quality education based on those principles is important. I feel that the educators are just as invested in my child’s growth as a whole person, as I am. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and would highly recommend Magic Kingdom to anyone looking for childcare.”

“I run a sport and movement programme for the children at New Shoots Hillcrest and have loved working with the centre, their staff and children. The staff always do the utmost to ensure the children's needs are met and they are well cared for and I can see the strong relationships and nurturing bonds built between staff and child to allow them to thrive and grow in the environment. The facilities are great and enable the children to express themselves both indoors and outdoors and build friendships with the children in their respective rooms.”

“I've been lucky to to call Mariposa Kids my home for the last 12 years and counting! We are a close knit team, who will go the extra mile for our children and their families. If you are looking for a home away from home, look no further Mariposa is where you want to be. Highly Recommend”

“I am grateful that both of my children growing up in Little Kiwis. My daughter started at 15 months and my son started at 11 months. I feel happy to see them waving to me and saying "goodbye mummy". Because I know that their needs and their feelings will be seen and be good taken care of by the teachers. Also, my daughter successfully passed 2interviews of private primary schools this year, and she was praised by the school principal. They think she's well educated and well trained. I want to thank every teacher at Little Kiwis for their dedication, and I thank God's love in there .”

“This is my daughter’s second daycare, and she started here at 2 years old. To my surprise, she loves Honey Bees from the very first day. we don’t even need a transition period! While I was a worried mum calling many times on her first day, she was super happy, settled quickly, and has made so many friends. She absolutely adores her teachers, especially Juliana, Marisa, and Nicolette. At home, she even copies Juliana and explains things to me just like her teachers do. Every morning she is welcomed with cuddles, smiles, and praise, which makes her so excited to go in. Since starting, she has also begun talking a lot more, which is amazing to see. All the teachers (Karen, Alana) are wonderful, caring, and always quick to reply to any emails or questions. My daughter truly loves Honey Bees and her teachers.”

“My daughter start Best Start Manukau from 6 months of age and now she is turning 5 soon. I love to see my daughter looking forward to go to her preschool even on weekends. All of the staff at the centre are so loving and caring. I have seen my daughter growing up and achieving her milestones. They also do fantastic home cooked food each day , I can say there is a very family oriented atmosphere . Having experienced all 3 rooms during my daughter time there I can say with assurance the teachers are very supportive and understandable that give us more confident that our child is safe and secure. would highly recommend best start Manukau to anybody who is looking for care.”

“We have loved our time in at Chlidsplay, we’re in the Fantail Room and could not be more complimentary of Mandy and Irene. They create such a welcoming and loving environment and our daughter absolutely adores them. Thanks both and all the rest of the childsplay team!”

“1 month in and all the teachers try very hard. They are very patient and kind. I trust the teachers so much that it makes me feel good leaving my world in their hands. I have recommended to family members already. This is my first experience with daycares and honestly, they have set the bar so high! Thankful for everyone ❤”

“Our son has been attending ACG Remuera since turning 12 months old in May 2024, and he genuinely loves the place. He is always smiling and happy when we drop him off in the mornings. All the teachers are wonderful and caring.”

“The team and facilities at ABC Epsom are fantastic. Particularly the teachers in the under two's room are so caring and wonderful with the littlies. The atmosphere at the centre is great. Lovely big outdoor space for a relatively central centre. Highly recommend.”

“Apple Tree Preschool is a fantastic place with caring and friendly teachers who greet you warmly when you arrive and leave everyday. They provide daily verbal updates about your child at the end of the day and monthly stories that highlight their progress. The staff take sickness seriously, keeping families informed about any illnesses at the preschool and encouraging caution to keep everyone safe. They also offer hot, healthy lunches along with morning and afternoon teas every day. Overall, it’s a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where both children and parents feel supported.”

“My son is in tui room and he had a fantastic experience with Best Start Ascot. The teachers are warm, professional, and caring. They are also flexible in terms of schedule changes and will acknowledge your concerns. The range of activities keeps the children engaged and supports both their creativity and learning. Most importantly, I feel confident knowing that my child is in a safe, nurturing environment. I highly recommend this center especially for those who are unsure whether to start their child on daycare or not.”

“A place which was second home for my daughter. She started in 2020 and a graduated in 2025... A long journey with the best teachers who not only understands the child but supports Parents as well. From crawling to standing and then running with lots of fun, learning, exploring and developing with trustworthy teachers, this is how our daughter's journey was. Special thanks to all the teachers Henny, Aman, Maddi, Asha, Alpana, Raheena, Ronita, Kajal, Mau, Anita and last but not least Gazelle for your continuous support. Highly recommended childcare to everyone... Thanks Swapnil and Nitika”

“Best centre in the heart of Papakura and I highly recommend this kindy. First day visit to the centre and I already 100% thankful that I step foot in this centre. All staff are friendly and family orientated. They took extra mile and went beyond measure to meet the needs of the children even though all children has different needs. I love this centre is very clean and tidy and they accommodate the children to the best of their ability and making sure that all children are safe and happy. My daughter has no issue going to this centre. Thank you millions Beststart Marne Road, Papakura.”

“Our son has attended Pascals for a short 7 months since he was 1.5 years old, and we have seen him flourish at this lovely establishment. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and have always taken the extra effort to make sure your child is well and happy. Our son has made so many friends, gained lots of confidence and new skills, and his vocabulary exploded once he settled in the Tui room. It's been amazing to see our son grow into an amazing little boy, and credit is due to the wonderful teachers and staff at Pascals.”

“We have enjoyed a fantastic year of care for our little girl. Her learning and speech development has been amazing and she loves to see her teachers and little friends each day.”

“We’ve had our 3 children in the care of Fantails Silverdale since 2018, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The teachers are always so warm, caring, and dedicated to the children, which makes a huge difference in their development. It’s clear they’re genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing environment. The outdoor space is fantastic! There’s plenty of room for the kids to play and explore, and it’s a great feature of the centre. I also love that they have separate rooms for different age groups, so each child gets the attention and activities suited to their stage of development. Fantails organizes regular events that keep things fresh and exciting for the kids, from themed days to celebrations, and they always look forward to these. The extra activities they offer, like playball, swimming, and school visits, are a nice touch and give the children a variety of experiences beyond the typical classroom setting. What stands out most, however, is how the management truly listens to feedback. They are always open to suggestions and seem genuinely invested in improving the centre. It’s clear that they care about the families they serve. We couldn’t be happier with the care our kids are receiving at Fantails, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, engaging, and professional early learning centre.”
