School in Auckland

“Best Judo club! Operating 50+ years, own dojo, great student to teacher ratio and great fundamentals. Judo provides a great core for any martial artist with solid stand up clinches, throws, trips and sweeps as well as a formidable ground game for when it goes down.”

“Very welcoming and friendly environment with great instructors and supportive team of students. Highly recommended”

“Greg and the team are very knowledgeable and excellent to deal with. They supplied high quality English velvet stage curtains and staging blacks for one of the schools I work with. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent. I thoroughly recommend them.”

“Such an awesome kindergarten. From the experienced, knowledgable and caring teaching staff through to the expansive grounds, our kids have had an absolute ball. Highly recommended.”

“We have been so impressed with the wonderful and supportive teachers at Aukilani Kids. They have taken great care of my 4year old who has flourished in the teaching and learning environment they provide. I would definitely recommend this daycare for anyone looking for a supportive and caring place for your child.”

“Highly recommend. Teachers are lovely and warm, with the centre having a family feel to it. Lots of activities to keep them busy and care and attention given to each. Convenient location and well priced.”

“I cannot recommend this Centre highly enough! From the day my daughter started (6M) till now (3 & 1/2Y) I’ve never had any issues. My daughter is well looked after, cared for, and most importantly, she loves going each day! She loves her teachers and her friends! Can’t wait for her sister to join her next year :)”

“My daughters were attending another daycare when things didnt go well and we needed to find somewhere else FAST. Mataliki was the first daycare we visited and they were able to take in both my girls, the staff are friendly and my daughter's always came home happy and looking forward to the next day. To this day they always ask if they can go back to their old school and they are both 6 and 8yrs old now.”

“My kids love the EduExperts Silverdale holiday program. I can easily see what progess they are making in English and maths. I get useful feedback from their teacher and other staff which helps me understand both their strengths and weaknesses in these two areas.”

“I can't speak on the inner workings of the academy, but I recently travelled to Auckland specifically to see their production of Legally Blonde the Musical. I had no prior knowledge of or experience with APAA, but I was absolutely blown away by the show. The performers are insanely talented and you can tell they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. I particularly liked how they managed to include the younger kids in the show, since Legally Blonde isn't typically a show where younger kids are cast. They worked the younger performers into the show seamlessly, and they all seemed so excited to have their chance to shine (they were also incredibly talented, especially for their age!). The performers in the lead roles had seriously insane, Broadway-level talent in both singing, dancing, and acting. Super excited to visit again and watch their future shows!”

“A safe, fun environment for anyone to express themselves through music and dance!”

“I visited Redline Combat Academy with the intention of signing up and was impressed from the start. I was greeted warmly and given all the information I needed about their classes and training options. The team was professional, friendly, and made me feel welcome. Although I haven’t joined yet due to an injury and other commitments, I’m looking forward to signing up once I recover. The atmosphere was motivating and supportive. Definitely recommend checking this place out for anyone interested in quality training and great people.”

“Excellent service well communication. They did great job in our event. Thank you Nishi”

“absolutely wonderful and amazing place. so encouraging and positive. :3 would definitely recommend, the studio is great and the instructors are amazing.”

“Mile High Karate has helped to define our family values outside of the home. They have helped my kids to understand discipline and self-discipline better, as they now ask us what they can do around the house to help, instead of us asking more than once. Many thanks”

“I highly recommend my physiotherapist Hannah Irvine to anyone in need of exceptional physiotherapy care. Hannah took the time to thoroughly understand my injury and tailored a treatment plan that has significantly improved my mobility and reduced my pain. Her expertise and patient-centred approach, has made a world of difference in my recovery.”

“Friendly and professional environment . My son is happy to go and I can find peace of mind while working .”

“I am have been playing guitar for years when I wanted to progress further in classical guitar and found John to help me with this. He is a wonderful guitar teacher, extremely knowledgable and very patient (especially with one who has picked up habits from other ways/styles of guitar playing). He requests high standards from students, and this is done with gentle persistence and a lot of humour. John is always very accommodating with his time, diligently in contact by phone, email and text when arranging lessons to suit, and very kindly offering make-up lessons when the situation appropriated the requirement.”

“Prior to coming to Pigeon Mountain kindy, my daughter was a very shy girl. The Covid lockdowns didnt help in developing her social skills. Eversince coming to Pigeon Mountain kindy, she has continuously broken out of her shell. All thanks to the kind teachers of this kindy. We always look forward to her artworks that she's making at kindy. The teachers are also very approachable and they really have genuine concern on the development of my daughter. My husband and I appreciate their regular updates and our morning interactions with the teachers. As immigrants, we felt very welcome in this kindy. We also learn a lot about NZ culture and other cultures as well, through our daughter's stories on what she learns from the kindy. Plus it's at the foot of Pigeon Mountain so the kindy regularly organises mountain walks (which I think is very unique in this kindy). Great and kind teachers, safe and accessible location, welcoming atmosphere of the community, personally I think Pigeon Mountain kindy is the best in East Auckland!”

“Birdwood kindergarten is awesome, all 3 of mine have been through here and the teachers are so lovely. My children have love coming to birdwood x Thank you”

“Parakai Kindergarten is a place where you child feels safe, seen and gently encouraged to build their confidence. My son had spent the last 3 years there before turning five and moving to school. Even though he’s moving to school, and his teacher is going to be his mum he still wanted to stay at kindy where “he was so happy”. I feel that the teachers deep love and respect for their tamariki is illustrated in my son’s statement as he was so sad to leave his favourite place. Kindy isn’t just a space place for the children but a space for the whole family to be connected to the thriving community and culture that envelopes Parakai Kindergarten. As a mother and a teacher I could not recommend Parakai Kindy enough and only wish I had sent my older son there too.”

“One of best best daycare. My son definitely missing his teachers and environment. My son (Enric) started with this daycare when he was 5mon old. All teachers are amazing. It’s hard to find similar daycare in South Auckland”

“We have been coming to this playcentre for 4 years and love it! A great social network for the whole family aswell as quality early childhood education for your kids that you get to be part of.”

“My son has been here since he was 2, he is 4 this year and absolutely loves it. Staff are amazing and my son has bonded with everyone and loves coming to school everyday. He learns so much and has made a lot of friends”

“Best daycare ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My daughter had spent a wonderful 3 years here. She has grown from a shy little girl to a confident big girl. She loves daycare so much and would be upset during holidays as she couldn’t go to daycare. She’s in primary school now, but she still misses daycare a lot and always asks for visiting daycare. Thanks to the awesome team of Our Family Early Learning! It’s a very inclusive environment that makes everyone feels like part of it.”
