Child room in Christchurch

“Fantastic staff who go above and beyond for anyone staying there to make rough times alot less stressful absolutely AMAZING”

“I absolutely love shopping here. The store has an amazing selection of high-quality children's items at affordable prices. Everything is clean, well-organised, and in excellent condition. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making the whole shopping experience so enjoyable. It’s clear they care about their customers and the items they stock. The ability to provide my items to the store to sell on my behalf makes my life a lot easier. Highly recommend this store to any parents looking for great deals without compromising on quality.”

“Highly recommended for everyone in the family. A beautiful free (donations are welcome) museum, filled with far more aircrafts than we initially expected. Lots to read and discover, displays were well put together and the pacing through the exhibits is perfect. If you need a break, there is a simple cafe, a lovely little gift shop and peaceful grounds. Wish we had more time to explore this past visit. We will have to set aside more time the next visit!”

“Stunningly beautiful hotel inside the former Canterbury University. You are surrounded by a historic and arts precinct, there is do much to do right on your doorstop. You can easily walk to everything needed.”

“Just spent 5 days at Southern Cross Hospital Christchurch. Very professional, caring and friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere and comes across as a happy team.”

Miro delivers a coffee‑and‑cabinet line‑up that’s straight to the point. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Service stays present without fuss. Wait times are contained even when busy.

“I can’t recommend the lead climbing course with Will highly enough. I’d done the course before and the instructor was really knowledgeable, but found the information a bit overwhelming. This time, Will paced the learning really well and gave us heaps of hands-on practice, which made all the difference. By the time we made it onto the crag at the end of the second course, we all felt confident, safe, and comfortable lead climbing and cleaning. Will’s a fantastic instructor—friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable—but what stood out most was his ability to teach in a way that supports genuine understanding and long-term retention. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he helps you understand why you're doing it, which made everything click. Loved it from start to finish and would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to build solid skills and confidence in the centre as well as on the rock.”

“Our room was clean, modern, and had everything we needed. It's a busy area but still quiet. Walking distance to a really nice mall and McDonald's. The people running it are very nice and helpful. I definetly recommend staying here. We used points to stay, but the regular price is really good!!!!”

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“Dylan, you nailed it! One happy man with 2 pairs of work jeans in under 15 mins! Lovely service and eager to help! Thankyou for saving me an hour of ummmmm and errrrrrr with Mr Indecisive.”

“Our child has been going to sweet pea for almost a year and has thrived. The teachers are really hands on and always available to discuss their progress and how the day has been. Each day there and new and exciting activities set up and the environment is perfect for busy toddlers and has a really nice homey feeling. Having an excellent chef on staff means that the kids are getting healthy and varied food. We have loved our experience with all of the staff and are excited for our second child to be starting in a couple of months.”

“I only have good things to say about Annabel’s - we absolutely love it! Our daughter started in the nursery, then the pre-k & is currently in the kindy, and truly thrives there. The teachers are outstanding- so caring, fun & organised, and have been so amazing helping my daughter transition to each room. There are so many fun activities - singing, dancing, arts, crafts, outdoor fun + more. My son has just started in the nursery & I am excited for him to be starting his Annabel’s journey.”

“Three Trees has been an amazing preschool! The teachers are friendly and get to know you and your child well, and I love how much time they spend outside. Such a calming centre to walk into, it's been so well designed. We will miss this place once we're at school!!”

“My 4-year-old boy has been at Tree House for just over a year. He loves going and has grown so many friendships. The teachers are caring and attentive. They are always looking for ways to engage the kids, most recently throughout a dino hunt around the centre.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE annabels Avonhead, I moved over to this side of town for the school & preschool. 2 of my children have been there in the past 2 years , my daughter is still there and it’s amazing! The teachers are beautiful , they take their time with every child . My daughter feels comfortable and safe every day . I would highly recommend this preschool and have done to so many people .”

“My son's been to 3 preschools in Christchurch and these guys are the absolute best. They are the most inclusive, dedicated, and engaged staff we've experienced.”

“Both of our daughters went to Kindercare Wigram from when they were 6months old until they started school. Every one of the teachers and support staff always made us feel welcome each day, staff were always approachable and the communication was amazing. Our girls were loved and cared for each day and their days were full of fun and different learning activities and opportunities. The transition to school from preschool was seamless and they were well prepared for school thanks to the amazing teachers at Kindercare. We have made lifelong friends from families at preschool and my daughters always love going back for a catch up.”

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“My babies truly enjoy learning and playing at this school, especially my daughter's teacher, Sarah Cousins. She skillfully nurtures my daughter's love for music, dance, and rhythm. Much gratitude.”

“The most empowering decision I ever made was enrolling my daughter here. I am forever grateful to the incredible teachers. My daughter flourished under their guidance and was nurtured with utmost care, surrounded by a team of compassionate educators. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“A lovely ECE centre with wonderful, caring staff. They have a modern, purpose built premises and provide nutritious cooked meals/ snacks throughout the day. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her years at Cuddles.”

“Words can’t fully express how grateful we are for our time at BestStart Redwood. Our daughter has journeyed through all three rooms from the nursery to Prep-School! And every step of the way has been filled with care, warmth, and support. Even after relocating from Redwood to Hornby, we chose to keep her enrolled because of the strong bond and trust we had with the center and its staff. It wasn’t until we moved overseas that we had to say goodbye, which was truly bittersweet - and we still miss it. The staff at BestStart Redwood have been absolutely incredible. They created such a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment that gave us peace of mind every single day. After each drop-off, I walked away knowing she was in great hands! Thank you, BestStart Redwood, for being such a significant and cherished part of our daughter’s early years. We will always remember you with deep appreciation and fondness.”

“Good environment friendly clean and tidy would love to send my baby there”

“A great playground! Loads of fun and spacious. Clean as well”

“I would give more stars if possible. We just had our sons birthday party there today and it was a blast. The party room was set up before I arrived, I was also able to arrive before the party to set up our theme decorations. The staff are super friendly and great with the kids. And all the kids loooooved running around and jump in the play area. I recommend to all who are keen. Amazing place will be coming back for more fun again.”

“Thanks so much for providing such great service Atria when I got my daughter's puffer jacket zip replaced. Louise Galloway from Dampier Bay Design who fixed the zip did an amazing job. It's so refreshing to experience such friendly, efficient and helpful service!”

“Young lady working on her own very helpful and friendly.. she was busy doing everything. Including restocking , helping customers, checkout, and running to rear of store to get pick ups. Prices competitive. All good”
