Children's entertainment center in Christchurch

“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 child has been at Cotswold Kidsfirst for just over a year and it's been so great for his development. The teaching staff are experienced professionals who know how to bring the best out of your child. Every day he looks forward to going to kindy. I would recommend kindy to any family considering it, it's such an amazing environment for tamariki.”

“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!”

“The staff are amazing settling in my toddler. You can tell they are actually passionate about their job and care.”

“The first moment we walked in to Beststart Prestons we felt very welcomed. The teachers and staff are so genuinely caring and really take the time to get to know the children. There are plenty of engaging projects that the children love getting involved in. I have loved seeing the friendships develop between the kids. The teachers have helped so much with giving my son confidence and getting him prepared for school. The meals are fantastic and its great to know my son has had a healthy meal and maybe tried some new foods too! Storypark makes it's easy to see all the great things they are doing during the day, the friendships they make and the progress they're making too. A wonderful preschool, it makes the tough job of not being with my son while I'm working a whole lot easier knowing that he is so happy and well cared for.”

“Fantastic place to send your little ones to”

“My daughter loves it here. She is always happy and she made good friends as well. I really love the community and the teachers are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️”

“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!”

“Jake is awesome. Loving the classes he runs, thanks to him!”

“wonderful place to hire, people are great to deal with! such a great space for kids and adults alike..”

“When looking for a daycare for my firstborn, Kindercare was 100% the best choice. We have been attending since 2023 and I intend to keep him there until he starts school. We felt a lot of support from all the staff, the environment is super clean and organised and I always felt very confident in leaving my baby boy in good hands. He is 3 years old now and every day he is super happy to go to Kindercare.”

“Great to have something besides kids playgrounds. Off course these are also very important to the community.. But this fitness are, located on 2 corners of the park.. Provides very good opportunities for a decent upper body workout using your own weight. Also you could do jogs/runs from one corner to the other corner to have a cardio component as well. Ready to pump?”

“Enrolling my son in this Kindy was the best decision I’ve made for him. We moved from another centre (after visiting a few before that) and from the moment we walked in to Selwyn St Kindy we were made to feel so welcome; all staff immediately engaged with me, my son and my younger daughter too. Communication has been excellent, both in person and through the online platform, we always know what’s happening day to day. The kindy has a great large outdoor space and a beautiful and engaging indoor space. The teachers go above and beyond, embracing the strengths of families and celebrating the diverse community. What I love most is the genuine love and energy for the children, they truly put kids first and always take the time to comfort and listen to the children and their needs. They do it all, so many wonderful opportunities for the kids, they seek out interesting learning opportunities They sing with the kids, bake, use lots of te reo, actively teach about managing emotions, I really cannot fault them. It’s the kindy I wish all kids could have!”

“I recently moved from India to New Zealand two months ago. My baby started to go kindy & he’s really praised all the teacher. He’s so happy & comfortable with you. Even I can see lots of change on him. I seen every story you shared with us. I’m so happy & surprised that he’s doing so good. All of the teachers are soft spoken & very kind in nature not only with child but parents too.I am so happy to be a part of it. Thank you everyone.”

“Absolutely wonderful space and environment and the teachers are fabulous 10/10”

“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.”

“We have loved being a part of LBP for the last 18m, my son thrives and I love the shared spaces for all ages to interact and enjoy. I love the menu options on offer and that the kaiako enjoy working there which makes me happy knowing my son has happy educators”

“We went to Target Moorhouse shop today evening to buy some furniture. The sales assistant served us was very helpful. His name was ANDY. He really knew what he was doing and was very efficient. He was really helpful to mix and match chairs with the pretty dining table we were after carrying all the chairs here and there.Had a pleasant experience in the shop today., we bought a lot of items today and hope to buy more furniture in the future. Thanks Andy, Target. Thilina and Madu”

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

“So caring, fun, engaging and they are teaching all fundamentals they need at this age. My son loves it!”

“Teams at Wairakei are caring and have put effort towards aspirations for our child. The nursery is spacious with abundant toys and play obstacles for children. We have active baby boy and he truly enjoys the centre.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”
