Sport & School & Kindergarten in Auckland

“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!!”

“I have been to this place twice in the past few years, and on each visit the staff are friendly and welcoming. Dr. Senaa Ali is amazing! She is gentle kind and shows compassion towards her patients . She is the best Dentist I've come across. Professional and not rough when pulling out teeth and so gentle when giving the injection. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends.”

“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!”

“Arrived unannounced to visit my son Allan. Was greeted brightly at reception and was told that Allan would be down shortly.”

“I feel welcomed and I’m happy to study here.”

“I have had multiple children attend The Grange early learning centre over the past eight years. In the past five years I have noticed a lot of new resources, new programmes and learning activities. This childcare stands out from the rest due to their amazing teachers many of which have been there for a very long time. The centre has been a home away from home for my family. Thank you for being the best childcare out West!!”

“The staff at Delta Avenue Best start have extensive experience, and my child began attending in December 2023. Since then, he has achieved remarkable milestones with this institution. All the staff are highly professional and provide excellent care, supporting my child’s developmental journey. I would like to express my gratitude to the teachers, particularly Levina, Sheetal and Nazareth. A special acknowledgment goes to Mel and Michelle, who are truly exceptional individuals and consistently go above and beyond for the children.”

“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!”

“An absolute wonderful and inclusive school , very accommodating and caring.”

“The TRSS Kindergarten is a very special place. Our daughter's teachers model deep listening with patience and tenderness. Working with rhythms of the day and the week, and seasonal cycles of the year, they support our children in forming a deep relationship to nature, and in the process discover who they are and their place in the world. We can only hope that all children experience the healing effect of being truly listened to and nurtured in this way.”

“A wonderful centre. All the staff are very genuine and caring especially in the Tui room. They go above and beyond for all the children.Highly recommend, there is strong community feel. My son is thriving in his class room.”

“Had a great experience renting from Megan at Lion Rock Surf Shop! She was really helpful in picking what board I should be using. Couldn’t recommend her enough and made my last day in NZ unforgettable!”

“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.”

“10/10 facility, 11/10 coaches, and 12/10 community. It's amazing what happens when structure meets passion - I had the opportunity to roll with a few guys at every level and learned something from each one of them. Can't recommend this place enough, and I can't recommend the craft in any way that would do it justice. Stop reading reviews, and just show up. You will be welcomed. You will learn. And you will grow!”

“I would recommend this preschool without hesitation. My son has absolutely thrived here, and our family will be forever grateful for the warmth, care, and dedication of the teachers. The nurturing environment has supported his growth in so many ways, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to his learning journey”

“it is really good and useful to me. Maybe to you also. If you want to improve your english skill for example listening, speaking, grammer, reading and writing, please don't hesitate to join in this school.”

“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.”

“Best ECE /Kindergarten in New Zealand. Anchorage Park Kindergarten is the heart and soul of the community. The highly qualified teachers not only provide an amazing space and experience and love for my little ones, but genuinely care about our family as a whole. They catered to the special needs of my children, willing to adapt and try new things to help my children thrive. When new to the area they connected us with other families that have grown into lasting friendships for my children and us as parents. When my spouse went through a mental crisis I felt love and support for our family from them. They connected us to resources and support I couldn't have found on my own. They inquire about my older children, and remember their names despite years gone past since they were at kindy. They supported me in getting back into work. This wonderful team at Anchorage Park Kindergarten cultivates the space for my children to grow, and fosters a loving community so that I, as a parent, grow too.”

“First and foremost the educators at Magic Kingdom in Blockhouse Bay are the most wonderful, genuinely caring nurturers. My little ‘pandemic baby’ had a total of three play dates before starting daycare at 11 months old and they made they transition for him (and me!) a positive and stress free experience. The core values and beliefs of Magic Kingdom align to my own as a parent, and knowing that my child is receiving a quality education based on those principles is important. I feel that the educators are just as invested in my child’s growth as a whole person, as I am. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and would highly recommend Magic Kingdom to anyone looking for childcare.”

“I really like this school. My child is well taken care of here. The receptionist, Michelle, is very friendly and always responds promptly to any questions or concerns. The teachers at the school are patient and loving towards the children. I can see my child's different growth through the Montessori learning method. The school is also very attentive, which makes me very satisfied.”

“I run a sport and movement programme for the children at New Shoots Hillcrest and have loved working with the centre, their staff and children. The staff always do the utmost to ensure the children's needs are met and they are well cared for and I can see the strong relationships and nurturing bonds built between staff and child to allow them to thrive and grow in the environment. The facilities are great and enable the children to express themselves both indoors and outdoors and build friendships with the children in their respective rooms.”

“I've been lucky to to call Mariposa Kids my home for the last 12 years and counting! We are a close knit team, who will go the extra mile for our children and their families. If you are looking for a home away from home, look no further Mariposa is where you want to be. Highly Recommend”

“I am grateful that both of my children growing up in Little Kiwis. My daughter started at 15 months and my son started at 11 months. I feel happy to see them waving to me and saying "goodbye mummy". Because I know that their needs and their feelings will be seen and be good taken care of by the teachers. Also, my daughter successfully passed 2interviews of private primary schools this year, and she was praised by the school principal. They think she's well educated and well trained. I want to thank every teacher at Little Kiwis for their dedication, and I thank God's love in there .”

“My daughter loves to stay in palms preschool. She really had fun playing with her friends. It’s a nice daycare, they had heaps of activities for the children where my daughter improves her self esteem. For 6 months of stay, She learns a lot like her communication skills. She is now confident in communicating to other people around her and also for being independent. I was so amazed watching my daughter growing, She really improves a lot. For me as a mother, choosing the nice daycare for your child is important since it will be their second home. I was also amazed the teachers, very passionate in teaching not only in education but also the good values. It is highly recommended.”

“This is my daughter’s second daycare, and she started here at 2 years old. To my surprise, she loves Honey Bees from the very first day. we don’t even need a transition period! While I was a worried mum calling many times on her first day, she was super happy, settled quickly, and has made so many friends. She absolutely adores her teachers, especially Juliana, Marisa, and Nicolette. At home, she even copies Juliana and explains things to me just like her teachers do. Every morning she is welcomed with cuddles, smiles, and praise, which makes her so excited to go in. Since starting, she has also begun talking a lot more, which is amazing to see. All the teachers (Karen, Alana) are wonderful, caring, and always quick to reply to any emails or questions. My daughter truly loves Honey Bees and her teachers.”

“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.”

“My daughter start Best Start Manukau from 6 months of age and now she is turning 5 soon. I love to see my daughter looking forward to go to her preschool even on weekends. All of the staff at the centre are so loving and caring. I have seen my daughter growing up and achieving her milestones. They also do fantastic home cooked food each day , I can say there is a very family oriented atmosphere . Having experienced all 3 rooms during my daughter time there I can say with assurance the teachers are very supportive and understandable that give us more confident that our child is safe and secure. would highly recommend best start Manukau to anybody who is looking for care.”

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

“We just started with Aqua Artist, the teacher is so kind and helpful. At first, my girl was nervous. Just after learning three days, I received the update from staff that my girl can move up to the next level!! I am so happy. I hope my kid will enjoy her swimming classes with Aqua Artist in the future~”

“We have loved our time in at Chlidsplay, we’re in the Fantail Room and could not be more complimentary of Mandy and Irene. They create such a welcoming and loving environment and our daughter absolutely adores them. Thanks both and all the rest of the childsplay team!”
