“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.”

“Highly recommend Lollipops Pukekohe to any family looking for a supportive and enriching preschool environment! We’ve had an amazing experience at Lollipops Pukekohe! The program is thoughtfully designed to encourage learning through play, and our child has really thrived. The staff are warm, caring, and highly professional. The facilities are fantastic, and there are lots of stimulating activities to keep the children engaged. We also appreciate the open communication between the staff and parents, making it easy to stay connected with our child's progress.”

“The team at Coast Montessori are absolutely wonderful!! Their love, care and passion is truly remarkable. With separate zones focusing on different skills, I know my child is being developed in all the different learning aspects. My daughter loves it so much that it is a mission getting her to leave every day. Highly recommended!”

“My youngest boy spent over two years at brightbears preeschool and had the most amazing time! The teachers are all so amazing and really made us feel like a family. They are super caring but also make the kids independent and help then get prepared for school. My boy knew how to count, spell and write certain words before he even went to school and it was all thanks to them. They don't have huge enrollments which makes it even nicer and after trying three other preschools/daycare in the area I'm so glad we found you guys. Highly recommend.”

“We love Montessori beginnings! My daughter is always happy to go and she talks about how much she loves it. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and I appreciate all of them. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter go here!”

“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.”

“Emma is amazing! Our daughter has been going to her classes for the past 2.5 years and she absolutely loves it and has learned & grown so much. We can’t wait for our youngest daughter to start in a few months at 18 months! Highly recommend :)”

“Great fun and exercise, taught by passionate and dedicated instructors! I like how there are multiple times for classes you can go to each week, which helps taekwondo fit into my busy schedule”

“The first time I stepped into the JKS Takapuna Dojo, I knew I had found what I was looking for. Sensei Gilvan and sensei Andrew are both professional and enthusiastic about Karate, and their passion for teaching each student is evident. Now, my son and I both train at this dojo, where we have found everyone to be friendly and welcoming. Thank you!”

“We have been part of Glenbrea Kids for almost three years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to the needs of both children and parents. My child absolutely loves going there every day, and it’s clear that the environment is nurturing, fun, and engaging. The teachers genuinely care about each child, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. I highly recommend Glenbrea Kids to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their little one. It has truly been a second home for our family, and we are so grateful for the amazing care they provide!”

“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!”

“Absolutely love the environment and positive attitude of the teachers. My son is learning so much , specially self feeding. And I’m glad that he’s so happy with asma and other staff . Really thankful to paayal, she is such a positive soul . Love the clean ,tidy and colourful environment . Teachers are so friendly, we’re so happy to enrol our son here and would highly highly recommend brilliant minds . ❤️”

“My son attended this daycare and he loved it. Learnt communication, team work and first steps to primary education. Staff were amazing and understanding. Would highly recommend.”

“Liz is an excellent dog trainer. She’s also very responsive to any questions that I’ve had. We had to take our border collie, Oreo, for some private trainings with Liz due to reactivity and not listening to us. So we’ve started off with some obedience training. All the exercises we did was fun and engaging. After every sessions, she would even summarise what we have to work on at home so we were ready for the next session. Oreo has already made a lot of progress by becoming less reactive and more obedient. He has also been walking nicely on a loose lead which was a big problem for us before. We are definitely enjoying our walks more now.”

“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.”

“Highly Recommend! Learning Adventures Takanini is one of the best early learning centers I have encountered. Firstly, they have an exceptional curriculum that caters for all types of learning and development a child needs. The teachers are amazing and have a very caring nature.The center Manager is often found on the floor assisting her staff, meeting and greeting parents regularly, and often seeking feedback for improvement purposes. Most importantly, a very nutritious meal is served at the centre.”

“I've been attending classes regularly for nearly a year now and I'm still excited as ever for each session. This academy is such a gem. The classes are well structured and the students are awesome. Tara's created such an uplifting community of genuine people supporting each other as we push ourselves in our fitness and kickboxing/martial arts skills.”

“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.”

“Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and easy-going. Highly recommend this gym.”

“14months ago after the first lockdown I walked into BOXFIT STUDIO with Covid kilos weighing in at 61.25kg, 152cm height. The team and vibe at @boxfit was awesome and I got into a rhythm of excercising. Next lockdowns I got a gym sorted at home with the help of Veronica Lee Foley. Plus I did a couple of challenges the team had set up online. Slowly but surely knocked off 6kg and now back in a healthy bmi zone. Keen to up muscle and toning for my next goals, and the crew @boxfit are my perfect fitness goal partners.”

“This is an awesome kindy. It's not for profit which was important for me - that means it's not being run as a business, which unfortunately many centres in Manurewa are. The staff are loyal to the centre, they are happy and they love the kids. They pay attention to what the kids like and make activities just for them - they have a massive storeroom of activities so it changes all the time. The outdoor area is amazing - go and visit and you'll see. I know my kids are cared for and safe at this centre - thanks kiddywinks :)”

“Such a wonderful and welcoming environment to learn in. The coaches are amazing with noticing individuals technique and helping them. The demonstrations are very in depth and rolls here are the best!”

“Great introduction flight. Very knowledgeable thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.”

“Jude has a wealth of knowledge and is generous in sharing it. She is passionate and committed to Iyengar yoga through her own practice and in her teaching. She strives to enable you to be your best you, both now, in 10 years and beyond. The studio is a gem. Well equiped with ‘stuff’ you can’t imagine using, but with training you will. I guarantee you will be challenged, learn much about yourself physically and mentally and leave with a sense of peace and friendship from being a part of Jude’s yoga family.”

“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.”

“10/10 ;)! Absolutely love everything about the McCallion-Hester dance academy, having danced since i was very little, Irish dancing was one huge thing i missed when moving overseas,I recently moved from Australia to New Zealand where i lived for many years and never really found an adult Irish dance classes that had the expertise and professionalism that these guys have here in Auckland!! The standard is incredible and the opportunities are endless, from beginners through to advanced and everything in-between they have it all covered! I would highly recommend giving it ago, whether it be for fun, fitness, to meet new people or as a previous dancer wanting to get back into it, this is definitely the place to go!!! Maire and Sean are so welcoming, enthusiastic and have the patients of a saint!! Amazing job guys, so glad i found you in Auckland!!!!!”
