Child room in Christchurch

“Nick is the best worker. He made us feel so welcome. After a long night out, he was so kind. The rest of the staff was so nice and so friendly. They even gave us some complimentary garlic knots. If I could give them a 10 stars I would! So appreciative of the work they do here! ”

“Great store and staff here. Sad to hear that it's being closed down.”

“The store manager Sam is amazing. He went out of his way to help me and my sister, when other kmart ricc team were less than helpful!”

“Even thought it's one of the smaller Warehouses, it always has a really good range of products.”

“A big The Warehouse with a large selection of items. Decent prices and a very big car park. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to access from both sides of Blenheim Road. Open till midnight.”

On the plate at Joe's Garage Cranford Street, the idea is breakfast‑and‑brunch and well judged. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Pricing lines up with the offer.

“Lovely lady on the till/checkout was very helpful and friendly when asked about donations.”

“Amazing customer support, each and everyone person working there was great. Mark resolve the issue extremely well, even though they were out of stock on something but helped me get the right one.”

“Absolutely amazing place. So grateful we went there something now for my son to do where he feels safe and comfortable. Just so good!”

“Amazing at recommending products you will need and use!! Recommend anyone needing essentials or presents visits.”

“Great pre-school, lovely teachers. Our kids really enjoy(ed) their time here. Thanks a lot for your good warm care and early learning experience!”

“My girls love Annabel’s. Having tried other daycares, none compare to the quality of Annabel’s. The beautiful, spacious outdoor area, the quality of the teachers who genuinely care, not to mention the resident chickens, guinea pigs, and the friendly bunnies who pop by to say hi to the kids — honestly, this place is one of a kind.”

“Just been there to purchase a bike lock what a genuine helpful person on the customer service counter.”

“We are really happy with Annabel's 4yr old Kindergarten. Our daughter is so keen to go each day and the staff are lovely and caring. There are always lots of activities available for the children.”

“We have children from various countries enrolled. The teachers are always smiling and the atmosphere is cheerful. The children enjoy attending the school.”

“Rhyme & Reason are truly amazing. I think that’s all that needs to be said. For anyone thinking about it. They have the right combination of being detailed oriented, putting people in that are great with kids, creating an environment that the kids love, and making sure activities are both fun and educational. We, and our kids always look forward to the mornings.”

“i love this store. but sadly a lotta people come in and treat the workers wrong. treat people like how you wanna be treated. seriously. if your kid is having a tanty take him/her outside and let her cry. stop making there job harder.”

“We have been part of the Rosy Cheeks family for over 8 years now. Our oldest daughter and son have moved onto primary school in that time and we felt they were both fully prepared and confident to make the transition after their time at Rosy Cheeks. Our youngest daughter, currently at Rosy Cheeks, also loves her time there. As a parent, the communication from head teacher Kathy is fantastic, and exceeded our expectations during the turmoil and challenges faced over the last 8 years. The daily contact,with each of the amazing teaching team (even when it is a brief word at drop-off or pick up) is very much valued. Rosy Cheeks has definitely met the needs for all 3 of our children and our family, and I would unreservedly recommend it as an Early Learning Centre.”

“We love Annabels, my daughter has been going there since February and she is thriving. She has gained alot of confidence in that time. She loves her teachers whom are warm and supportive with her learning. She loves the big outdoor play area with loads of room for the children. Annabels is her favourite place.”

“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!”

“Approxmetly 8.43pm 29/12/25. Such wonderful service this evening from Wendy. I went to queue and she dropped what she was doing to ask me to come to the desk so she could serve me. I had a bag of kettles and a 90L Sistema storage container. She asked me how my day was and if I had a busy Xmas. She was very easy to engage with after a long day at work. She discussed about the great price of the Sistema containers and may have mentioned that, at that price you could get two! It was indeed good value and her upsell almost made me buy another one. I will discuss with my wife this evening and may come back and buy another two. Keep this wonderful wahine on, she is very motivated and an asset to your store!”

“Always a great experience at the Merivale McDonald’s! The staff are friendly and efficient, and orders come out hot and fresh every time. The place is well kept and has plenty of seating, making it comfortable even when it’s busy. Drive-thru service is quick and accurate, and parking is easy. One of the best McDonald’s locations around—consistent quality and great service.”

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

“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.”

“Really nice feeling in this Plunket, and amazing playground for little ones outside”

“Busy with queue unsure which the queue line. Customer service at 11.35am is amazing..karl was amazing...calm and pleasant towards customer...”

“Order a cheeseburger with every add-on. Was good. Of course, it required a refreshing beverage… 100 frozen cokes was sufficient. Would recommend.”
