Children's entertainment in Christchurch

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

“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.”

“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”

“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 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.”

“Nice and tidy place for having dinner. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Pizza was cooked to perfection and arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. Keep up the good work!”

“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, cheap coffee, friendly service. Cash Only”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

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

“Great park with lots of nice trees, has a play ground with swings see saws and a slide, relatively quiet but easily accessible.”

“A great group for mums sit together to chat and talk about everything in baby's growth.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fantastic preschool! Our son attended here from nursery through to his last week before starting school. We never had any problems, the teachers are all so caring and personable. We’ve definitely created long term friendships through this Center. Thank you Busy Bees team!”

“Tranquil and Private park for the residents to enjoy. Nice benches for taking in the surroundings or having a moment of reflection. Comes with average toilets and a small playground with drinking fountain on the other side.”

“Like wandering through a tidy apocalypse.”

“Amazing, lovely and so supportive with both children and teachers!! The best kindy out there ❤️”
