“This is for the Kindergarten. For years ive searched for a good kindy for my kids ive settled on this ine. We sid have a little misunderstanding and a miscommunication at the begining but we've gone over that and cleared the air. I picked this Kindy because they are clean and they keep up with it all day every day. The setting is super the ladys are understanding and qualified, they are spoilt with plenty of support teachers that will take the load off looking after the childeen so you know your kids will have an eye on them most times. Also the setting is quite good, flat settings with quite safe stairways leading outside, mostly covered play area outside, they keep the sand pit clean and tidy by picking up the toys everytime the kids have finished playing with them, if your child has ezcema i tell you it wont be so bad so relax the toys are always picked up and aired, supervision is a must at the water pump area. There is always someone outside with the children. The lunches are put in the fridge, ive seen the lady prepare the morning tea so relax its quite safe for the kids, the head teacher Jill is always onto it with the hygiene side of things, everyone there has a role and im happy. The girls are friendly, i find you just need to communicate openly its the only way they will know more about you and your child. So if youre someone like me who has OCD and cleans their house with bleach sending your children out to the world will be hard but to feel normal at it this Kindy gives you a piece of mind. Of course at the beginning my child was always sick but getting education from Drs and the education board/ministry helps you understand that its quite normal for your kids to get sick at the begining with viral infections, and it'll be worst if you struggle living with OCD. So for us who has this problem take it from me ive found what works in my situation, right now we are quite at home with this daycare. We find with everywhere you go Communication is always key. Good luck on choosing a daycare for your child though but this one is good. Ill say its the best even though its in Otara. Trust me ive tried Ormiston with the fancy things but it just didn't work for us. Neither circumstances nor surroundings can bring contentment. Only by fitting ourselves to meet conditions as they are, we must see not the location but the people who coukd make a difference and add to your childs journey through life, so chosing a good day care is a must for your child.”

“What a fantastic place for new entrants. They seem to have walking school bus so that kids can have a work out instead of being dropped off. There used to be parents etc writing numbers of cars dropping g kids off on the driveway. Maybe a good idea to park safely far away. Make your little walk it and get a bit of exercise and fresh air.”

“Great school nice envirourment. Teachers are really kind. No uniform where any cloths you want. Safe place beautiful learning. Lot of fun things to do”

“QS ranks fourth out of eight universities in New Zealand, with a relatively small campus size. Massey is the only university with free student parking. He is friendly to students”

“Great staff, great atmosphere, close to all amenities, great learning experience.”

“Because that's my school tanharoa college is the best”

“My 12 year old daughter has just started attending this school, she likes it and she's adjusting, the kids are friendly, they are also apart of the free lunch to kids initiative, I love the uniform which doesn't really look like one, the grounds are so clean and tidy.”

“Fantastic school ... when ypur kids look forward to school it must be doing something right.”

“We changed to Junior Junction a few months ago from My Kindy and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our 2 year old settled in quickly and is thriving. The staff are so friendly, there is no staff turnover, and our daughter is happy and learning everyday. We couldn't recommend this centre more.”

“A nice old building with plenty of parking out the back. A great place to buy books today from original New Zealand Authors. Ask for Cheryl or Wendy and get a 10% discount. Only today..”

“Really nice I'm a student of bailey road and I'm patchara from rm17 and the teacher name is Jessica Restauro but now it's prem bina I loved miss restauro this school is the best!”

“Firstly, these guys offer those super tasty Cantonese/Hong Kong flavours - not the less satisfying mainland Chinese flavours becoming more prevalent in the city. Even the free soup (see pics) was tastier than many paid soups found in other restaurants. We ordered the Dry Fried Round Beans (G1 on the menu at the time of ordering) which comes with that super tasty Cantonese pork sauce - it makes everything taste better! And a big serve of Soy Chicken BBQ noodle soup (N2 on the menu at the time of ordering) - you won’t leave hungry! Delicious Cantonese style Soy chicken & BBQ pork with egg noodles - and that sweet/umami combo Cantonese soups are famous for. Even the tea was special, with a balanced, light fragrance which comes from a touch of lemon - a house blend apparently. Thank you, we’ll definitely be back!”

“**Great food, relaxing vibe, and excellent service** We stopped by Florrie McGreal's Irish Pub in Takapuna and had a great experience. We ordered the buffalo wings (next time we'll go for the hot ones—these were mild but still tasty), shoestring fries, the pulled pork burger, and the beef brisket burger. Everything was fresh and satisfying, especially the burgers which were full of flavour. Special shoutout to Nelli for her fantastic service—she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. We sat outside, which was perfect for a chill afternoon, watching the world go by. Definitely a spot we’d come back to for a relaxed meal and good vibes.”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”

“Our 2-year-old daughter attended this Kindergarten for nearly a year, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff were incredibly supportive, and the teachers were always attentive and caring. Our daughter loved being there and connected with everyone. The playground is spacious and filled with engaging activities that helped her develop motor skills and stay active. We only moved her to another Kindergarten due to logistical challenges with our work schedules. We’re truly grateful for the time our daughter spent here and highly recommend this Kindergarten to other families.”

“My son has attended since 1 years old in the babies room and is in his final year in Montessori. Busy Bees has been an amazing centre and have some amazing staff who we will definitely miss once we leave. Highly recommend.”

“One of the best schools in New Zealand. Their students are kind , polite and smart. They have very good academic NCEA results and high entrance university rates. The school is very nice and clean , equipped with excellent facilities e.g. swimming pool, tennis courts.”

“MyKindy has been the best choice for my daughter's daycare. Before enrolling, my husband and I visited every ECE center in the area and reviewed recent reports from the Education Review Office. MyKindy stood out as our top choice, and we couldn't be happier with it. My daughter is thriving and well cared for. The teachers are fantastic and have taught her her first words in Māori, English, and even sign language. The meals are healthy, well-balanced, and delicious—my picky eater always asks for more. The staff organize wonderful events, like a recent disco party, that involve the whole family and create a welcoming environment. MyKindy truly feels like home for all of us.”

“My journey here at MSL was astounding, the tutors are VERY helpful, practicals were challenging but as a team we pushed through helping each other out. I am honoured to be apart of MSL as the experience was just amazing.”

“My daughter has been attending Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury since November 2024, and previous to her joining she had been enrolled to several other daycares, kindergarten etc and not one of those centres did she enjoy more than she enjoys Wee Wisdom! I am so proud, relieved and happy that I have finally found a centre that caters to my daughter’s skills and abilities but more so encourages their children on how to become their own independent person! I have so much respect for the teachers they have been such a huge support to myself and whanau during the time we have been at Wee. A huge NGA MIHI to the teachers of Nido! Thank you for making the transition for myself and my son who has just started such an easy and comfortable process! I appreciate you all for caring, nurturing and educating my babies! I am confident to say that I absolutely recommend Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury! Nga Mihi Nui ki a kaiako ō Wee Wisdom Montessori he aroha mutunga kore!”
