“Such a fun centre for my child she has thrived, they support her emotionally and socially and always have super fun learning experiences out for the children to engage with!”

“Our two children went here, and although we knew they would be there for only few weeks due to my partner’s work - the relationship they’ve built with teachers and the way they felt so comfortable to be themselves in such a short period is AMAZING. All teachers are absolutely amazing, very warm yet professional. It does confirm that quality beats quantity. Thank you, dear teachers and dear tamariki, for sharing this moment in time with us! ❤️ Thanks to those personalised books we’ll remind kids about this incredible time of their lives, and I’ll for sure never forget how kind and helpful you all were to all of us!”

“The team is absolutely top notch. Favilities are great and our child loves all the outdoor activities and space provided. Keep up the great work!”

“We LOVE Neemo. Our boy had always struggled with separation anxiety until he started to attend here a year ago. The teachers in Tohora and Tehehu rooms have been so helpful.”

“If you're worried about sending your wee one to preschool you will feel at ease sending them to Grow Active Essex St. All of the staff are so lovely and helpful. Our wee one has thrived being there. She has some eating and sensory issues and the staff have helped encourage her beautifully to try new things, and put up photos so we can see her progress. When you have to work, it's a comforting feeling knowing they're safe and happy where you leave them.”

“My daughter has been attending this childcare for approx 4 months now and it has been the happiest 4 months ever! She absolutely loves it here. All the teachers are incredibly skilled, patient, kind, dedicated and loving with all the children. It’s a very outdoorsy and creative childcare centre which is what we love the most. I would highly recommend enrolling your child.”

“I am very happy to have chosen such a good kindergarten for my children. Helen, Kai, and Ange all great and my kids love them！”

“Busy Bees is superb. All of their teachers are so charismatic and engaging with every child. The nursery, preschool, and kindergarten have all unique styles. You know all of the teachers love what they do. Go Busy Bees!”

“Fantastic kindy! Our son has been going here since he was two and he absolutely loves it. The facilities are great, especially the huge and adventurous outdoor areas. The teachers are wonderful and we can’t fault it on any level.”

“We absolutely love this centre and have nothing but positive things to say about the staff & learning environment.”

“Absolutely awesome kindy, teachers are amazing, highly recommend”

“I highly recommend Little Wonders Rolleston! Our daughter attended there for nearly three years and absolutely loved it. The staff are amazing, so friendly and engaging. I loved knowing that my daughter was always in good hands, having fun and learning at the same time. She also really enjoyed the nutritious and yummy meals.”

“This is the best daycare ever! The staff is incredibly professional, and the administrator, Lisa, is always flexible and kind. I should also mention the kindness of the toddler room teachers. I feel very comfortable sending my son, Theon to daycare.”

“From the moment we first engaged with Busy Bees Woodend, I sensed it was a special place. When my family and I visited, we felt embraced and believed we had discovered a place that honored our culture and was more than just a typical daycare. The transition for our 29-month-old was handled with care and respect. He speaks our native language and does not yet understand English. I felt that the team respected our concerns and welcomed us warmly from the outset. One thing that also caught my attention was that, from the very first days, all the teachers would come to talk to me about my son, about our culture, and I noticed that they were genuinely interested in him and happy to help in the process. Now, we are delighted that he is joyful each day upon arrival, forging relationships, and developing skills in a nurturing and respectful environment. I cannot express enough gratitude to the entire Busy Bees Woodend team.”

“Teachers and staff are very friendly and accomodating. They take sickness with the kids seriously, which is important given we’re in a pandemic.”

“We love the Halswell Learning Tree. Our four year old goes there and always comes home with a big smile on his face. They do all sorts of different things, he is always bringing different goodies home to show us. Highly recommend. Such a great family feel, with real homely experiences, gardening and baking etc.”

“This is the best Kindy ever. The staff are welcoming and have been at the centre a long time and have a great deal of knowledge and support in place for all child and parents. All 3 of my children have attended here, one there now and my first child over 8 years ago. The centre has an amazing outdoor area and great clean spaces inside. A+++!!!!”

“When I moved from afternoon to morning kindergarten, the kindergarten also moved from Pleasant Point to its new home in Bridge Street. So I was a first-day pupil at this establishment. I am guessing it must have been January 1957.”

“Best Teachers, they are all nice, kind and caring ....”
