School in Auckland

“My daughter has been attending this daycare for a little over two months. Despite her shyness, with the help of the teachers, she has already made friends, gained confidence, and eagerly participates in play with the other children and teachers. The teachers are extremely passionate about their work, keeping the children engaged with a wide variety of interesting activities so that they never get bored.”

“The staff here have become our ‘village’ over the past couple of years. They each have such a strong sense of integrity and care for the children. Great communication with parents - I.e. prompt, honest and kind. Clean and modern facilities.”

“My daughter attends and has grown so much in confidence, since starting her playcentre journey 9mths ago. The support of the other parents has been invaluable. The diverse and well resourced play areas cater to everyone from quite story time to fun messy play. The sky is the limit! The Centre is located in a great area, close to Mt Eden Village. Plenty of parking available.”

“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 Daughter loves going here and the staff are amazing. They play and make things with the kids that will blow your mind! Cyril is the master of making from a outside kitchen to working full size scales, Alisha is always coming home telling us all about what has been made today. Fully recommend this place :)”

“My kids love it here, best place for them. Is a bit different to a kindy in that the parents are the educators. There is quite a bit of commitment required to do all the training but is nzqa qualified. Also as you progress you have to do office holder roles which take time, but for the joy of spending time with your kids and with other people's kids and getting to know the community is well worth it.”

“I don’t think I can put in words what an amazing role Vintage kids has played in our family. Both our kids attended, we fell in love with the place on our first visit. I imagine a visit is all that’s needed for anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their children. The teachers went above ant beyond from day one up til the final day before our kids left for school.”

“Polina and Vlad are extremely knowledgeable and passionate educators. Polina sets expectations in a firm, gentle and respectful way. She gives her students plenty of encouragement. Her lessons are full of fun and our children enjoy her lessons very much. Her lessons complement work done at school really well with plenty of repetition with games and exercises. Our 8 year old was struggling hugely with maths at school and now she’s doing well.”

“Caring and supportive teachers and a lovely Enviro kindy”

“An excellent Kindy with a good balance of play time and learning activities. Their Rising Stars program for older children is a fantastic way to get kids prepared for their starting school. Parent interaction and involvement is also at a really high standard.”

“Caring and very friendly staff, children are all happy and comfortable. The way in can be tough during peak hours and needs some shelter from bad weather.”

“My son is currently enrolled at Tiny Stars and I cant tell how you much my son has learnt especially in the past year at Tiny Stars. Though he's playful at home, his attitude changes as soon as the gate opens and it's like he's a different person. He honestly loves Tiny Stars he sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff there too are also friendly, they keep you in the loop of your child's learning and they really value the child's learning.”

“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.”

“Great place for childcare services”

“From the moment we walked in the door, we knew this was the best place for our two children. We were drawn to the warm, welcoming and stimulating environment. The amazing, dedicated teachers, along with the interesting materials, naturally inspire learning and spark the imagination. Children are free to choose their own work and learn and develop at their own pace. The teachers genuinely respect the children, who in turn respect the teachers and the environment. It creates a strong sense of belonging and community that made our children feel like this was their second home. They have been raised the way we intended and left preschool as independent, self motivated, confident and polite young people, ready for the next chapter of life. The skills and experiences they gained at Glendowie Montessori have undoubtedly set the best possible foundations for their future.”

“Awesome place for early childhood education. Friendly people and lots of fun.”

“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”

“We love little learners, we send our two boys there and they love it, teachers are caring , environment really natural and nice, and also food is very healthy.”

“Lovely and friendly people . Keep the place clean and tidy Lots of laughter from children are seen during the day. Love coming here”

“Great centre. Very welcoming, and great play set ups!”

“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 Children's Cnr is such an amazing school and by far the best! My eldest daughter went through so many transitions in her short life and the teachers helped her through. The environment is a calm place allowing my daughter the best possible learning experience. He ability to communicate, interact, problem solve and self help skills has increased dramatically since attending this school.”

“I cannot recommend Plum Tree preschool highly enough! We’ve done a lot of research and trialing at the nearby daycares and Plum Tree was by far the best one for us. The most amazing, warm and caring teachers! Lots of nature based play and engaging activities.”

“Both of our children have been to Brainwaves with the eldest just moving to school a few weeks ago. Rody and the team do a fantastic job preparing kids for the world. And they always come home with new things they have learnt. More than childcare, highly recommended”

“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!”
