Children's space in Christchurch

“My kid loved it. Great teachers and the parties they threw were off the hook..... For a kindy”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“Great school! Lots of fun activities kids love and teachers are so nice and helpful .love it !”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Bought the cutest and super comfy sandles, the lady in store is super nice, really loved her energy. Thank you for your help today.”

“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.”

“There is not much there. A good place for the children to kick a ball around. We went there as there is a geocache there.”

“Took my grandson there who is 3 years old and he just loved it.”

“Evolution Square is a new public place in the South Frame, CHRISTCHURCH - opened 15 December 2017. Great for live music and community events, and right by Little High, Espresso 245 and opposite Alice Cinema and C1. #evolutionsquare #chchlaneways #soulinthesouthframe”

“Really appreciate the time and energy you have spent on our kids.”

“Waka Huia is the most wonderful place, very child-centred and in a calm/ relaxed/ family environment. Different aged kids all play together, the big kids look out for the little ones, lots of tuakana-teina opportunities. The kaiako are awesome educators, highly experienced and genuinely loving and kind. My daughter has grown a lot under their gentle guidance. She loves the animals (chickens and visiting lambs), outside play year round, cups of tea, dress-ups and treasures (shells, wool) to play with.”

“The staff played a crucial role in my son's transition from his previous Best Start program. Their friendly and welcoming demeanor made the process easy and helped him make new friends. The activities and programs for the kids are well-prepared and provide a lot of useful information for parents. The photos of the activities show that my son has a great time at preschool, and I feel confident and safe leaving him there.”

“Beautiful new place with special cultural features, native plants and courtyard...A Promise of good things to come!!”
