Educational organization in Christchurch

“My daughter has been attending Bella Montessori Preschool now for 2 years and has had the most wonderful experience. The staff are incredible and have been very invested in her learning and development. Management has also been very accomodating to my constantly changing circumstances and are very approachable. I couldn’t recommend Bella Montessori highly enough.”

“Wow Nina is amazing! I have used other intuitives but no one like Nina! I feel like I have a plan for my health, her guidance was invaluable! She has just a warm, caring demeanor I am so greatful to have found her!”

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

“We couldn’t be more grateful for this daycare. The teachers are truly outstanding — warm, caring, and consistently going above and beyond for the children. Our kids feel safe, included, and genuinely cared for every single day. The Christmas party was just one example of the thought, effort, and love they put into everything they do. We feel so lucky to have our children here and appreciate this incredible team more than words can say.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Active Explorers Rolleston. Our son started knowing very little English and was quite shy, but with the support and care from the amazing team – especially in the Pūrerehua Room – he’s grown so much in confidence. He’s made great friends, learned to communicate in English, and has felt truly included and valued every step of the way. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids and their family. We’re so grateful to every staff member for creating such a warm and supportive environment. Thank you for all you’ve done for kid – we’ll always remember this special time!”

“Both of my daughters (now 6 and 8) are in the Tumbles class, not yet competitive. We've been in the class nearly a year and they have both grown so much -- athletically speaking -- able to kartwheel, handspring, etc -- but also personally -- developing the confidence to perform in front of an audience. The program is very well run, safe and incredible value for the skills and confidence little ones gain. I must also note, the management and coaches are not simply ticking boxes, they are people who really care, understand discipline and hard work, but also know that it has to be fun for younger children to want to be involved and to stay involved -- it's encouraging to see and an encouraging place for young people to be and learn! Wishing the program continued success :)”

“My daughter had singing lessons with Gina through her primary and secondary school years and really benefitted from the experience. Gina took her through all the singing grade exams, plus theory papers. I really rate Gina highly as a music teacher. She is a kind, patient and warm person with a genuine love of music and vocal performance. She has a real knack for bringing out the best in young people because she is so encouraging and positive. Her end of year concerts are a great way for students to show their progress and these are well-attended and well-run. As a parent, I have appreciated the hard work she put in to make these a success. My daughter is currently studying for a Bachelor of Music degree, majoring in Performance Singing. She could not have got this far without all the years of quality teaching from Gina, who prepared her so well for this phase of life. As a parent, I am very grateful for everything that Gina has done for us and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

“I have been part of the Kindercare Rangiora family for the past seven years. I say family because that's what they make you feel like. They have helped me through the seperation with my husband and made sure my girls always knew they were loved and had a voice of their own. Both my girls are very different but they catered for their needs individually. Always easy to talk to about anything and give a lot of support. At times when I was struggling they always made me feel like I was doing the best I can and that is enough. The whole staff there have definitely been part of my village and I am forever grateful to have been part of that family for so long. It has been a big adjustment to not see them every day, now that both my girls are at school. If you are looking for a safe, fun and loving environment for your kids to be able to grow and learn then I suggest you take them to Kindercare Rangiora and enjoy being part of the family there.”

“Great kindy. The teachers are so kind, patient and so engaging with the kids. My daughter loves it”

“What a amazing kindergarten beautiful homely feel and positive atmosphere my son absolutely loves it and is always engaged in the activities put on each day the teachers are wonderful they are all so supportive and work with family's for what's best for each individual child my son has made lovely connections with each teacher and is flourishing I can't recommend bush street kidsfirst enough”

“Little Peppertree truly feels like a second home for our son. It offers everything you'd hope for in a preschool—small numbers, warm and welcoming spaces, a wide variety of activities, and amazing teachers who clearly love being there just as much as the children do! The transition in was smooth and easy. Each day is filled with fun and meaningful experiences. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

“Peppertree Preschool is one in a million. The way they have helped my son grow into the little man he is turning into is absolutely astounding. The love and passion these ladies have for their job and every individual is out of this world. We are going to miss you all dearly.”

“My Preschool is fantastic. It feels like you are dropping your little one to a family or friends house for the day. Lovely cosy indoor space with activities galore, a huge outdoor area with real grass (gasp!), vege garden, chickens and plenty of things to keep little minds busy. The staff are lovely and caring and Neill and Denise (the owners) are always present and involved, can't recommend enough!! Our wee man has thrived here :)”

“Very amazing place and atmosphere”

“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.”
