“Sue is a fantastic teacher and the lessons are fun.”

“My girls absolutely love being here! They are constantly coming home with new skills!!!!no other centre compares!”

“Absolutely amazing Kindy with fantastic facilities. All the kids love it here and it shows.”

“Our son has been going here for almost a year now and he absolutely loves it. The large outdoor play area and lovely flow from the house to the garden is so lovely. The kaiako (teachers) are genuinely caring, experienced, and incredibly attentive to each child’s personality and needs. The learning environment is calm, nurturing, and full of opportunities to explore — both inside and in their beautiful outdoor area. We also love how much the kaiako have a wide variety of different and new activities, both indoor and outdoor, every day! The activities cater to the children’s individual interests (in our son’s case, water play, sand and trucks) while also piquing their interest in new things. The activities also encourage connection with nature and local culture. I really love how they do things to give the kids something to look forward to - snow days, bringing in the local fire truck, puppet shows, marae visits, as well as more practical safety education like what to do in an earthquake and personal safety/body awareness. The kindy has a real community feel — it’s not just a drop-off, it’s a place where families are part of something meaningful. There’s a whanau group and Storypark where we get regular updates and stories, it’s great for keeping the grandparents who are overseas involved in what my son gets up to. It’s also particularly special knowing this kindy has been around for over 100 years! A true treasure in Grey Lynn. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a kind, inclusive, and enriching early learning experience.”

“My child loves this place. Great teachers, variety and learning experiences.”

“I have found Waterview Kindy to be fantastic for my son. Such a calm, lovely centre, where there are excellent teacher to student ratios, they are well cared for, and it’s such a lovely place for the kids. Awesome activities put out each day for the children, long standing teachers who really care for the kids. Really rate it.”

“I love every day at Playcentre with my child. Connecting with other parents and having so much fun!!!”

“Very patient with the kids and a really good teacher, can't recommend her enough”

“Very good location in the east area as an education centre. Support the community for children of after-school education. Love all the handwork by children.”

“Highly recommended. You guys are the best!”

“My girl loves it there super supportive loves going to kindy everyday”

“Both my daughter and son have attended this kindy and we've found the teachers and carers to strike a terrific balance between providing soothing care and encouraging independent discovery. They have gone to lengths to observe and nurture the specific interests of our children and there is a good number and diversity of carers who have each brought their own lovely and unique personality/perspective to our children's development. The kindergarten itself is dense with a wide range of enrichment areas both inside and out, with play areas including books, cars, figurines, dress ups, various mock up rooms including kitchen, along with a plethora of outside activities from sandpit and swings to a vegetable garden and bug hunting. The carers themselves clearly have a devotion to providing the best environment for our children's development and always present as a friction-free team that nurture each other as well as the kids. As probably most of the kids at Westmere Kindy will then go on to Westmere School, they also organise introductory days for late four year olds by walking the couple of hundred metres to the school and spending a few hours in the room they'll be occupying when they turn 5. In short, exactly the people and environment I'm happy to entrust my preschoolers to.”

“We did Spaced here and have had a couple of birthday parties here too. A really fantastic place with everything a kid could want”
