Children's entertainment in Christchurch

“Best kindy around. Super staff and very happy kids. We have one girl there and one excited to start shortly.”

“Great team and great environment, definitely recommend to all.”

“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.”

“This place has the most wonderful staff here. I would definitely recommend it. Our autistic children have been coming here for over 4 years. So many different groups are here too. They have a climbing wall and a music studio.”

“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.”

“Great local playground for the kids with a big rugby field next to it.”

“Definitely one of the better parks in Christchurch. Decent playground and heaps of open grass.”

“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 ....”

“So lucky we found this kindy as it’s pretty close to our house, with great and brilliant teachers for my wee one. Highly recommended :)”

“Our son has been apart of the Pascals family for a few 2 years now. We love that he gets yummy food each day. He has made some close friends with other children and teachers. I have to bribe him to leave most days!”

“Fantastic kindergarten, all teachers are nice. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely teachers. I love how they individually pay attention to the children's need and write a review and feeback in Educa so us parents can see the progress of what they are learning in school. I often get educated too on how they build up the learning through playing. My daughter loves her kindee so much. It's never a dull moment for her. She often feels sad when it is not her school day, she very much enjoys her kindee. Teachers are so approachable and loving and good values are very much imparted to my daughter. Would rate them higher than 5 star.”

“Fundies is an extraordinary place where my three children have truly thrived. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from the staff, creating a welcoming environment for both children and parents. The teachers at Fundies are compassionate and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. I love the perfect balance of learning through play-based activities, Fundies is equipped with everything needed to facilitate a stimulating learning environment while having lots of FUN with peers and teachers What truly sets Fundies apart is the sense of community and family that they have cultivated. The communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our children's progress throughout each day they attend on the Storypark App. I am grateful for the positive impact every teacher at Fundies have had on my children's lives and highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching preschool for their little ones.”

“5 stas for the helpfulness of the staff and how much the genuinely care about the children in their charge, and the happiness of my child at daycare each day”

“Such a great experience hiring through a castle through Maniacs. Easy to txt details back and forth, even gave us extra time. Can’t rate highly enough!”
