Private school in Auckland

“Arrived unannounced to visit my son Allan. Was greeted brightly at reception and was told that Allan would be down shortly.”

“The first thing I want to say is how lucky I was to make the right decision. My son is three years old, and before that I visited a lot of places and did a lot of research. I knew a little bit about the environment before I came here and courses are great. I didn't expect too much for the teachers to be so friendly and responsible. For me, the feelings and experiences of children are more important than anything else. Because my son has not attended any day care before, his native language is not English, and his grandmother often takes care of him went back home for a period of time, which makes me worried about whether he will adapt to the new environment. All teachers, the front desk staff and the centre manager all understood my concerns and cooperated with each other to help my son to adapt faster and better. After two weeks transiting,my son is happy to stay and not crying after we drop him off. I am really grateful to the teachers there and this is the most responsible place I have encountered. They will understand the parents' thoughts and concerns, and work together, everything is for the sake of the child. Hope my son will have a wonderful journey in kakapo creek.”

“Very thankful for your great assistance and warm understanding of parents' feelings indeed. I have recommended my friend to contact to you too. Thanks again.”

“I can't believe it's been a year already since I first started dancing at UCan2. I can honestly say I've enjoyed every minute. My highlight so far was definitely working towards and completing the medal test. The instructors are amazing, supportive, warm and so much fun to dance with. My fellow dance students are absolutely wonderful to dance with and provide endless laughs and camaraderie. Brilliant location with tons of parking too. Such a well-run studio that makes everyone feel like family. Thank you UCan2 crew.”

“Love love love Mainly Dance classes - have been doing barre for a number of years and the recent addition of reformer Pilates has been fantastic. It adds an extra layer to the week’s workouts. Kelly and her team strive never to have the same class twice and the energy that Kelly gives to each class is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend.”

“I recently completed the Lev 6 NZQA micro laser course and couldn't be more impressed. The course content provided comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience. The tutors are excellent! experts in their industry with a supportive teaching approach. If you are serious about offering your clients treatments that are safe and effective, then being trained by Stacey and Ruth is a must. Highly recommended!”

“We’ve had a great experience with Cherie as a piano teacher. She creates a supportive and encouraging environment that helps build both confidence and skills. My daughter has made great progress. We highly recommend Cherie.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We went to the Billy Joel show on Saturday evening. It was absolutely superb - the quality of the musicians and singers far exceeded our expectations. The added bonus of a "supper" was a treat. This group should tour the country and beyond with this show. Great energy.”

“These guys did an incredible job at our Cancer Society fundraising event. Would recommend them to anyone. SO much fun, our participants loved it!”

“Nice, friendly dance school, my daughter loves it!”

“My family and I loved this farm. The animals and the tractor ride. The best part was the peacock. So beautiful and fun feeding the lamas. Absolutely coming back again!”

“Professional and friendly classes to do tricking and parkour style gymnastics. My son is improving so much physically & mentally and made lots of good quality friends. Highly recommend”

“My daughter has been going to Kip McGrath for the last 3 years, starting in her last year of primary school. We wanted her to receive consistent tuition, tailored to her needs in the run-up to high school. Kip has boosted her confidence and helped us gain a more complete picture of her strengths and work-ons so we can help her achieve. Wanda the centre manager has been a great support, taking the time to explain school curricula, levels of achievement, assessments, and working with our daighter to bring the best out of her. Going to Kip has been an empowering experience for us all.”

“Great ice creams and excellent coffee in a real china cup. Didn't try the Afghan biscuit but it was only $4 and huge. Great ambience.”

“Love this theatre! Staff always so friendly and the whole place has a great vibe ✨️ ☺️”

“Mike and team are fantastic. Personable, interested, great advice and great gear. I salivate every time i check in as they have everything and more. Stuff I need and then stuff I want (there is a difference!). This is definitely not like a so called "surf" shop in a mall selling surf brand fashion clothing to teenagers, this is a specialised surf, foil, sail, SUP retailer. Highly recommended.”

“Cute little basement cinema with chill vibes. Nice place to get out of the afternoon heat and watch a flick”

“We had our end of season Hockey at Laserforce, and had 2 hours unlimited lasertag. It was amazing, the kids and adults all loved it. It's such a big space with an upstairs and downstairs. Everything is explained well and the staff are great. We were able to bring in outside foods and had Pizza Hut delivered from just around the road and brought in other drinks and foods. All and all I recommend this for a kids party or team building activity.”

“The best part are the acoustics. You have very good sound quality wherever you sit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shows are always of a very high caliber.”

“Just watched the end of year show as my niece and nephew go to this dance school... Ive been to SOOOO many end of year dance shows for different nieces and friends kids over the years, and this was by FAR the BEST one Ive ever seen!! Amazing story telling, amazing dancers, amazing costumes and amazing organization!! I dont deal with this dance school personally but from what I witnessed tonight, they have to be one of the best dance schools!! Huge props to the owner, manager, dance teachers, other staff and even the older children who did so amazing!!! I was so impressed with the older kids!! The older kids not only maintained the story and their dancing, while directing all the younger/youngest dancers! BRAVO!! Editing to also say... This is also the only end of year dance show that I would've been happy to watch even if I didn't know any kids in tge show lol.”

“Excellent dance teaching a variety of styles. Great studio for boys wanting to learn.”

“So far pretty good. The teachers are nice and patient. It must be hard to manage "little people". The place is very warm and clean. The ladies at the reception are super friendly.”

“I have been surfing for 5 years and I was searching for private training to take my surfing to the next level. I found Piha Surf Academy and its great packages. I booked the 5 lessons package and I did my last lesson last week. The instructor was constantly giving me feedback in the water which help me correct old bad habits I was dragging throughout the years. I highly recommend Piha Surf Academy for beginners and intermediate surfers.”

“Interesting and relevant courses provided that help students understand more of who God is and how that knowledge affects us and our community.”

“We had a great Kindy trip to the zoo. Wayne coped with a bus full of parents and children, including many pushchairs. A very smooth and fun ride in the big bendy bus. Great communication making the trip seamless. Thanks Bayes buses.”

“We really enjoyed this playground. There are things for all ages to do”
