Sport & School & Kindergarten in Auckland

“My boys have a home away from home at Pakuranga Baptist Kindergarten. Not only do they have fun and play and learn but their lives are also enriched with outside of the square thinking thanks to the teachers, what a fantastic idea 'Outdoor Explorer's' is, each week the kids get to go and explore the estuary and surrounding reserves to learn about their environment, wildlife, pollution and caring for their world. No wonder they have received such an impressive ERO review.”

“I was a bit worried about moving my sensitive 1-year-old to a new daycare after she didn't settle at the last one. But Lollipops Birkenhead has been amazing for both of us! The staff are super understanding and gentle, which has really helped her feel safe and happy there. The teachers are so patient and take the time to calm her down when she's feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she gets to do all sorts of fun and educational activities, even at her young age. I love the regular photo updates, too! I'm really grateful for the caring environment at Lollipops Birkenhead. It's been a great choice for my little one, and I appreciate how much the staff care about making sure every child feels loved and supported. I'd definitely recommend it!”

“My 1 yr old daughter attends 'Froggies' and absolutely loves it! The team there are attentive, kind and have helped her grow and learn so much over the past 6 months. Would highly recommend to any parent looking for a childcare centre in East Auckland”

“I have absolutely loved Ako Adventures. They watched 2 of my children and they grew and thrived in their environment. It was sad that we had to leave due to relocating, but if we were in the area we would definitely come back! All staff were amazing towards me and my family. We thank you so much!!”

“Two of my girls attended Howick Baptist Kindy and we absolutely loved the experience. We were always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I appreciated the integration of faith and learning, and my kids had so much fun while at the kindy. The other families whose kids attended HBK became close friends and have remained so. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone”

“Absolutely love Acorn and has been amazing for my 2 children... Catherine who runs it genuinely cares for all the children and wants to make it a great environment for pre school development with the right mix of fun and learning. They have a 4 year old programme run for 4 year olds (as you'd expect) and is designed to get them ready for school with some of the elements of school... this is a perfect intro for my daughter who got an award at her first school assembly for settling in so quickly. The Christmas concert they put on is also a yearly highlight... and even though I'm off work this week and my son could stay at home, he has wanted to go to Acorn to play with his friends each day... I highly recommend Acorn to anyone considering a ELC in Auckland!”

“Having played guitar for over 10 years, i have cycled through many guitar tutors and not a single one is comparable to Felipe of Guitar City. Not only has he helped built my guitar skills professionally and enthusiastically, he has formed a lifelong relationship along with it. Couldn’t ask for more.”

“Leo had a wonderful time at the Little Earth Montessori, filled with laughter, learning, and new friendships. Leo felt happy and safe, thanks to the caring and dedicated staff who supported him every step of the way. Their warmth and enthusiasm made his daycare experience truly special. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped him thrive and made his time at Little Earth Montessori so memorable.”

“Pure Magic! This is honestly the best daycare centre ever. I feel like a lot of parents don't know about it. It is absolutely incredible. All the the teachers have so much magic with all the children. We are so grateful to be part of Starfish family. All the teachers are so friendly and are so good with the kids that you really feel at ease when you're trusting them with your child. It is their home away from home after all. Our boy found so many lovely friends here, we are forever grateful that we have discovered this centre. There are so many activities for the kids and they learn so much here. The teachers put so much effort into their every day. Thank you all so much! We couldn't be happier. You can really tell that everyone that works here are truly passionate about children and really want to see them learn and explore. One owner based and you can just tell how much effort, passion and magic they have here at Starfish. It is definitely a hidden gem here on the Coast. We are so fortunate to be able to have a place here for our boy. Thank you so much to all the Starfish team, you are absolutely incredible! You make our days every single day! You are truly the best! Nataliya and Tom”

“Terrific family and community, some of the best teachers”

“Incredible school with dedicated enthusiastic teachers. You could not ask for better. My children have been to two primary schools and really there is no comparison, Gladstone knocks it out of the park.”

“I went to this school, and it has been amazing for my education. It is the best primary school one could wish for. I loved going to Remuera Primary School.”

“Very professional! They know what to do for my skin everytime I come. I’ve had different beauticians each time but they are all well trained with high level of expertise. I love my skin texture; it feels tighter and my face is also clearer. Great job- highly recommend!”

“Was one of the first students through this school. It has been great from the start and the facilities have improved steadily since its opening. A great long serving principle has guided the school well”

“Two of my kids have been here (so far), and it's a great school, the teachers are excellent, the support (when needed) is great too, we are very lucky that it's our local school.”

“Nostalgic to think back to all the great memories made at this school. Especially the intermediates years and extra-curricular provided.”

“Have seen Dr Kenneth Wong for my ezxma. He is a good doctor and listen to my problems and also patience with when I talk.The receptionist are amazing an very cheerful and helpful.”

“As a former student of JC I'm proud to have attended here! The school may have a bad reputation but it's ultimately up to each individual student as to what they make of their high school lives and education. I got everything I needed, life lessons, how to handle hardship, and teachers support, now I earn a 6 figure income and have traveled the world! It's amazing what the right foundations can do, I hope there are a lot more students that graduate from JC that find their way in this hectic world!”

“Best Intermediate you could ask for out here in Auckland, Definetly Good People Here! miss going to this school too be honest.”

“I am biased because I work here but I think this is the best giant gold chicken wing in the country.”

“Lovingly furnished in Greek style, good breakfast.”
