School in Auckland

“This is the place to be. Sensei Tevita is exceptional. He is very good with the young ones and has a great balance of fun and discipline, resulting in kids sticking with it longer. They offer 3 classes a week and you can go as many or few times as you like. My kids have been attending for about 6 months now and it's been a great decision. I would highly recommend this dojo to other parents who want to get their kid into karate. Well worth it.”

“I'm half way through a bootcamp at priority fitness and I can honestly say it's one of the best experiences I've ever had with a gym membership. My clothes are fitting better and I have more energy but more importantly, I look forward to my workouts and it has been a great reliever for my migraine and anxiety symptoms. I sleep better, I eat better and I genuinely feel like I will keep going even after 8 weeks. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and no work out is ever the same. I still have a long way to go but I know if I keep going with priority fitness, I will get there.”

“I've been stringing my rackets here and have also purchased new ones. The owner knows his stuff and offers the best deals in town. Thanks to him, my hybrid racket with natural gut strings feels amazing, even though it doesn't last long in New Zealand's weather. While all strings lose their tension over time, natural gut provides the best feel, even it is expensive. It's totally worth it, though, since he knows exactly how to string it the way I like it. I highly recommend getting your rackets strung by Liam ! Thanks for the deals u give me , I wish I could pay u more for your nice job ! Really appreciate it!”

“The pair Charleen and Aita helped us out to get the shopping done for our a little one going to intermediate school. Promotion details were shared to ensure we got the bargain. Highly recommended”

“Excellent gym with great trainers. Been part of the ETK family for a few years now and the experience has been fantastic. The trainers are all experienced and they care about ones journey, be it for fitness, confidence, mental wellbeing or personal growth, they are very supportive. The classes are suited to every level and you'll come out each class feeling great :)”

“AMMA is a fantastic place to train! Coach Hamish, Van and Ryan are very knowledgeable and make a great effort to accommodate all skill levels! Great gym environment, cannot recommend it enough.”

Browns Bay Traditional Barbers is a hair salon offering cuts and styling and men's grooming. The team is known for a considerate approach.

“The cutest piercing/tattoo studio! Very clean and tidy. My friend and I went in for the 1x free piercing special and the student piercer did AMAZING! She was cool, calm and collected and definitely felt at ease under Robs supervision. They were both very informative about aftercare and answered all my questions (I had a lot... nerves haha). 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!!”

“Absolutely incredible, beautiful horses, amazing team and a spectacular experience going from beach to forest, it was an absolute pleasure to be riding on Gizzy. The team have really good explanation on all safety aspects and point out where there could be potential hazards along the way. Going through all sorts of terrain really made this experience incredible, and who knew that your still in West Auckland!”

You have a new customer out of us.”

“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!”

“Our Son, Cohen is 11 and for over 3years now Georgi (Debrov) has helped with his technique and style, which has also helped increase his stage confidence. Cohen already had natural ability, having been playing since he was 3 however Georgi has been able to help him learn different genres especially Jazz. Georgi is a very cool music teacher and so kind & patient with his approach - Cohen really looks forward to his weekly drum sessions and understands the importance of reading his music sheets (it really is another language) Thank you so much Georgi!”

“My child has been attending Pascals Albany for three years and absolutely loves it. The centre's welcoming environment and caring teachers are truly noteworthy. It's amazing how they treat us like family and inform us about my child's progress daily. I highly recommend Pascals Albany to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive childhood centre.”

“The team are always friendly and explain what they are going to do in terms of cut, nail etc. Luna seems to enjoy her new haircut. The Halloween bandana was a nice touch”

“As a first time Mummy, you want to make sure your child is safe, cared for and loved. That's what Nurture + Bloom provided for us! My son started at 5months, they have transition visits which helped me and my son immensely. The Aunties (teachers) are amazing, genuine, loving, kind and caring. They really made our transition a smooth one. My son is now 15months and thriving! Thank you Aunties for the amazing work you do and for always going above and beyond for not just my boy but for me too! You can really feel God's grace and peace in this Centre. I highly recommend.”

“I just wanted to come on here and give my feedback on Kidz Connect otahu as my son attends this day care. I want to start off by saying that I was so hesitant to send my son school so I stayed home with him for 2 years knowing that he was a shy reserved boy and thought he would be more comfortable at home with me (mum). It took me a lot of courage to finally enroll him and was abit scared how he would be since this was his first ever time being away from me hahaha. I do not regret one bit enrolling him into kidz connect, it took him a while to warm up to everyone but thank you to moa toddlers teachers for helping him prep for Huia pre school. For making him come out of his shell and finding his own voice, everyone there have made myself and my boy feel so welcomed and comfortable to the point he is happy to come to school everyday and that is a big change from my boy. Even from the amazing receptionist Val who always greets everyone who walks through the doors and making my boy feel comfortable before walking into class is what every parent want/needs. The best decision I’ve made for my son. Thank you kidz connect”

“Our child started in the under-3 class, and the transition was incredibly smooth, thanks to the loving and supportive teachers. Now that he's moved to the over-3 class, we can see how much he is learning and growing. His language skills have improved so much, and we're amazed at how he remembers all of his teachers' names—it shows how deeply connected and engaged he is with them. When he is sharing his story in daycare, it gives us such peace of mind knowing he's in a place where he feels happy and secure. We couldn't be more grateful for MyKindy Henderson and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring, enriching environment for their little one.”

“Really happy with this place! Loads of parking and it's not right by the main road, so dropping off and picking up isn't a hassle with fewer cars around. They don't cram in too many kids, so each child gets plenty of attention from the teachers. The staff are great with the little ones. Plus, there's a huge space for the kids to play and learn, with both indoor and outdoor gardens. My child come a long way here – from shy to super confident by the time she hit primary school. Couldn't be happier! It's not too expensive compared to others with meals included. A BIG THANK YOU PLC!!!”

“We’ve been sending our son to Red Kite since he was just 7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. After visiting several childcare centers in the Mt Albert/Owairaka area, this one stood out as the best in terms of its Amazing teachers, excellent management, and spacious, well-designed facilities. The teachers are consistently engaging, caring, and full of positive energy. Anita and Judy, the owners and managers of Red Kite, are outstanding—they create a welcoming and nurturing environment where children thrive. The team has supported my son through every stage of his development, from lifting his head to crawling, walking, running, talking and now even dancing! Thank you, Red Kite, for your dedication and care. I highly recommend visiting this center if you’re looking for a top-notch childcare experience.”

“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.”

“Forever grateful to the Gillies team especially - Sara, Nape, Celine, Nithy, Leigh and Thelma. For consistency, accommodating, and compassion. My daughter has flourished and grown over the 4 years she has been a student at BestStart. It has been her home away from home and she has spent more time with this team then some of her own relatives. She has never complained or raised any concerns.”

“A clean and tidy center where you want to send your kids. The most important thing to about this center is that the teachers are very supportive of your child’s need in terms of knowledge enrichment. The center has loads of activities included in their curriculum to educate kids about front line workers, festivals, diversity, and other important dates. The center is diverse culturally and neurodiverse too. That being said, they listen to parents and note the goals for your child and work towards accomplishing those goals. Definitely recommend and one of the best centers in south Auckland.”

“Moved to Pukekohe about 4 months ago, visited more than 5 daycares and Pukekohe Early Learning Centre is the one that I wanted to enrol immediately without any hesitation. The centre provides different nutritional meals every day. Lots of different activities and visits and walks. The teachers there are so nice and patient with children. They care every single one of them and look for the children’s interest and find out the best way of development for them. This is also the reason my child got so easy to transit and fit into the new environment. There is always feedback from the teacher to surprise me with how much my child can do without mum and dad! Now my child has lots of new friends and always looking forward to going to preschool!”

“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.”

“Best Start Manuroa Road was our top choice for part time care after visiting 4 other facilities within our area. I loved how energetic, welcoming and informative the admin team were. I also love how genuine and engaging the teachers were with the babies. This alone set them apart from the other centres not to mention their centre spaces are sun drenched and well cared for. We’re so happy here!! -Matai Nursery Parent”
