Sport & School & Kindergarten in Auckland

“Great service and friendly staff, had found a item online only available in store. Got there searching everywhere with a help of 2 staff members. They went to the back their storage to search for it and I got the last item available thanks for their assistance. Not many shops will go above and beyond to help so I’m really happy.”

“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”

“Maru is a amazing school which is probably the best resourced Montessori around. It is a purpose built facility with a lovely outdoor area. The teachers are all very passionate about what they do which makes a real difference. As far as Montessori preschools go, it is hard to imagine a better Montessori.”

“The absolute best. My eldest is coming to the end of her 4th year and my youngest is starting. We've loved every moment. Grateful to have amazing caring teachers and an awesome manager”

“My child has been attending the forest school in Hatfields for a year and a half. Since attending he has advanced in all areas of his life. I can not thank the staff enough for this incredible experience they offer. It is extremely beneficial for kids to connect to nature and learn through play. I highly recommend this school !!”

“My daughter has been looking after very well here... very friendly and caring teachers..homely environment which assured and giving me satisfaction of leaving my child in safe hands...Supportive management in all the aspects...”

“We had such a great time here! Jack is an amazing teacher, incredibly skilled in his own right and highly qualified in everything ceramic! He was a welcoming host and has an amazing knowledge of techniques and knows so many interesting facts and stories on the history of clay and pottery. The wood firing party was a real highlight and we are now hooked! Thank you!”

“My two children love Playcentre and they always have fun and it is so hard to get them to leave when the session has finished.”

“We love Uplands Kindergarten! The teachers are so kind and caring. They take the time to get to know the kids and create a calm and fun environment and help the children get the best out of being at kindy. The teachers are great at helping the kids form friendships with other children if they need a little support. There's always interesting activities and outings organised to provide new experiences and learning opportunities. It's been a great Kindergarten for our daughter!”

“Such a wonderful kindy - lovely teachers and my daughter adores going!”

“Nice school and facilities, good environment for kids”

“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.”

“Casa Montessori is one of the best Montessori pre school that i have seen in New Zealand. Teachers are excellent l, caring loving and very organised, environment is really tidy and clean and also methodical. My son loved going to Casa everyday and he was well prepared for the school by the teachers. Centre manager Sonali was amazing and very kind a caring soul. The learning stories were amazing as they were really comprehensive and detailed with plenty of pictures and i loved reading them when there were uploaded. They had a practical skills area, science, maths language and literacy, so STEAM activities, music, painting, geography & physical activities too. They even did baking , making dumplings with kids.. i have never found a place like Casa Montessori even in the south island of New Zealand to enrol my daughter after my son . I think Casa Montessori has set the bar very high for all the Montessori preschools around New Zealand. Well done! Keep up the good work Casa Montessori! Love this place so much Highly recommend them to everyone all in all great place❤️”

“What a lovely and NZ unique place for the little ones! My boy is 9 month old. He loves here so much and has a lot of fun together with other children. He likes copying bigger kids playing and enjoys different adventures every time. I believe he likes sand and water very much. I really like here too because parents share ideas with each other, help looking after each other's kids. Friendly, caring and sharing. What a team! Thank you for all of the organizers' hard working... Feel blessed...”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Thank you Hands at Play this is a very good daycare I had my two children here and they finished this year and the primary school teachers are very happy with my children and their progress. Thank you so much”

“Amazing daycare centre, lovely staff and very supportive. I wouldn’t have my babies anywhere else”

“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.”

“City preschool is truly outstanding! They offer an amazing range of indoor and outdoor activities, providing wonderful opportunities for children to expand their knowledge. The team of teachers is simply amazing – so caring and dedicated. Highly recommended for any parent!”

“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.”

“Every Friday night, there is Kendo training. Stunning view of Rangitoto when the gym windows are opened.”

“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.”

“Great school, amazing teachers, such talent and great visions. Highly recommend this school. Awesome culture.”

“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 :)”

“Great progressive school, considering the fact they also accept men/trans-women. Truly a model school for others to follow.”

“The instructors were very friendly and helpful when we came in not knowing much. Their training looked and sounded very focused”

“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.”
