Kindergarten in Auckland

“My daughter Harper thrives at this daycare. She is 3 and has been there since she was 7 months old. They are so lovely, know every child, prepare them for school, organise lots of fun experiences, and there are always creative displays with current themes or events. It is also a smaller daycare, which means everyone is looked after, and their interests can be explored. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone.”

“Our daughter has been going here since she was about 3 and a half months. It was a very big decision for us and we are glad we chose this place. It is out of the way for us now, but we are continuing here because she is very happy and enjoys and learns with her wonderful teachers and friends. Would highly recommend Beststart Parnell :)”

“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”

“My daughter loves to stay in palms preschool. She really had fun playing with her friends. It’s a nice daycare, they had heaps of activities for the children where my daughter improves her self esteem. For 6 months of stay, She learns a lot like her communication skills. She is now confident in communicating to other people around her and also for being independent. I was so amazed watching my daughter growing, She really improves a lot. For me as a mother, choosing the nice daycare for your child is important since it will be their second home. I was also amazed the teachers, very passionate in teaching not only in education but also the good values. It is highly recommended.”

“We have our 2 boys attend KLC and they have been cared for extremely well. The staff are incredibly caring, ensuring each child gets genuine attention and a strong foundation in learning. KLC is definitely not your usual ECE, our boy is now off to Primary and KLC has done a tremendous job in setting him up for a great start to his schooling.”

“Teachers at kelly's preschool care for kids as if their own family. My kid is always excited and happy to go to kindy.”

“My daughter (almost 2 years old) loves going to daycare! She gets to experience things she may not always get to do at home and has made so many friends. The staff are all very friendly.”

“Great staff and support environment. Both our daughters have enjoyed attending beststart papatoetoe over the past years. They have learned a lot and made great relationships with peers and teachers”

“My daughter has been with NewShoots Whenuapai for the last three years and she’s absolutely loved it. The teachers are all so friendly and provide so much love and care. My daughter has really enjoyed the delicious variety of food and we love how healthy it is. The managers and receptionists are also amazing as they’ve always been so good with their communication and super supportive for our family. Overall we have loved our time at NewShoots and highly recommend this centre”

“Our family is very grateful to Summerfield for its education and guidance to my son. He has made great progress in all aspects at Summerfield and has made many good friends. Summerfield is an excellent school. The teachers are very responsible, patient and caring. Summerfield is the best Early Learning Centre in New Zealand. My son is very lucky to be able to join Summerfield. We are immensely grateful for Summerfield's support and quality education for my son. He has shown significant growth and changes over the past few months. We will have the second baby soon and we would like him to join Summerfield too. They are lucky to join Summerfield. All teachers are kind, patient , caring and responsible. They like our families.”

“Amazing, Friendly and fun teachers. All three of my children attend/attended Kindercare Rewa and have all been under great care. Our eldest has just moved onto Primary School, however she still talks about her Preschool teachers. Which demonstrates the closeness and genuine relationships she had built with her teachers at Kindercare. I couldn’t recommend them more, they are supportive and caring of our kids and very welcoming of us parents. Thank you Kindercare for always creating a fun and safe environment for our kids to thrive in everyday.”

“The Learning Corner is a warm welcoming daycare and we are 100% happy with their wonderful care. Each day we are greeted like family by both the lovely teachers and gorgeous kids. The sugar-free policy puts us at ease knowing our son is going to get good healthy (and yummy) meals each day, and he comes home buzzing about the things he has learnt during the day through their discussions and playing. Our boy has thrived there, and we have recommended The Learning Corner to many of our friends. Thanks guys – you’re awesome!”

“I absolutely love the teachers and the environment. I feel like I am leaving my baby with motherly figures who are so awesome in what they do. I have seen my baby growing up and achieving his milestones. Love every teacher in the center who do their best to help my baby. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.”

“I wanted to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for the wonderful care and support you’ve provided to my children. It’s been so reassuring to know that they are not only in a safe and nurturing environment but also thriving in their personal development. Over the time they’ve been with you, I’ve noticed such growth in their confidence, communication skills, and emotional maturity. The activities, routines, and individual attention you give them have had a lasting impact, and they’ve learned so much under your guidance. It’s evident that the team is dedicated to fostering a positive and well-rounded environment for the children, and I can’t thank you enough for that. I am truly grateful for everything you do to help my children grow. Thank you for being such an integral part of their development and well-being.”

“This is an exceptional daycare. It's our son's first, but we've visited lots of different daycare centres and none come close to this one. The staff in the kiwi room are brilliant and I couldn't ask for any better. The centre design is amazing. Everything is so well organised. Despite us moving far away, we were still tempted to continue taking our son to this daycare, it's that good.”

“Riverhead Montissori is and has been an amazing daycare for my three children. Reminiscent of a kindy, with a well loved environment and wholesome teaches, while still maintaining the child/teacher ratio and morning routine of a traditional Montissori daycare. The centre is well run and flexible, Rachel in admissions is seemingly always available and accomodating. Due to its community values and small country setting I feel that my children have very personalised care. For our family in particular we appreciate that there is always a very calm and happy atmosphere at drop off, I feel that this encourages my children to start a piece of work and allow me to leave without them getting overwhelmed or sad. My children also enjoy the mix of ages within the classrooms, being able to learn from those older than them and care/teach those who are younger. We cannot recommend Riverhead Montissori enough.”

“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!”

“I was an old student at this nursery from 2009 to 2010, and I want to contact you. Please contact me. Instagram Account: @Imaees39”

“I had 2 kids attending Best Start Sunnyvale (one currently still there) and I couldn't recommend the Centre more! The staff are amazing and run the place to a high standard. The way they interact with kids is so very special. Both of my sons loved and going there.”

“My son had a great time at preschool. He learned a lot from the teachers. All the teachers here are very kind and friendly.”

“We have had 2 boys through this centre. Will be sad to say goodbye once our youngest leaves. Fantastic staff & the manager is great. Highly recommended. Thanks team.”

“My son has been attending The Treehouse Children’s Crèche since last week and he’s been throughly enjoying himself. I can see the excitement he gets when he sees the place. The staff are very friendly, they are very informative and they communicate well. I’m glad I’m able to build the trust with the staff within a short time of period. I can see it on my son’s face when he waves bye to them that he’s happy. Thank you so much to the Treehouse staff.”

“My niece absolutely thrives at this daycare. Beautiful spaces for the children to play and interact. The team are the most loving teachers and their dedication to your child is incredible. well done Just Kidz Flatbush”

“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!”

“We have been with Learning Tree Westgate for nearly a year and have been so glad we picked them to look after our 6mth old. They make you feel so welcome, it’s a safe and friendly atmosphere and our son (now a bum shuffling 15mth old) loves his garden and sandpit adventures daily. He also makes the most of the in house chef on site, eating better meals than his parents most days. We’ve been so happy with our choice we’ve successfully suggested the centre to two other families.... and counting. Can not recommend enough!!”

“Secret Garden is one of the best childcare in the area. Splendid environment and kau kaiako are so nice and professional. Strongly recommended!”

“A great centre that both of our girls have grown up in. Solid and supportive relationships built with teachers and other children, with plenty of opportunity for play and learning. An amazing team who we will miss when both have moved on to school.”
