Educational organization in Christchurch

“Awesome programme for children-amazing,fun and educational”

“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!”

“It’s a great great great way for kids to learn and play with their friends the school was wonderful everyday my daughter comes home with something new it is a private school and the rooms are very clean and comfortable”

“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.”

“The facilities available at St Margaret’s are outstanding. From the court to the classroom and even the studio spaces, we love coming into this inspiring environment - Haidee Stratford, Trident Homes Tactix General Manager”

“This school is amazing, changed me forever. I came in as a young shy boy, 5 years went by, then I came out as a Student Executive with good academic records and leadership qualities. I'm now studying Astrophysics with a Bachelor of Science at the University of Canterbury, and there is a possibility that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the amazing teaching staff and wonderful learning environment I was enticed in at Mairehau High School. I highly recommend sending your kids to this school if you are looking for high school options within the area!”

“Very great school. My kids loved it. The music department was exeptional.”

“Hi! I will finish a diploma in June 2023 and I want to study Bachelor of Software Engineering, will you have any intake for july 2023 in Christchurch campus? Thanks”

“Growing boys into fine young men”

“Nice, well looked after school! Great place to play with the kids In the weekend.”

“Performance was amazing and fun upbeat music with powerful voices. Disappointed by the all white crowd, … how do you get other cultures to attend I wonder? Something in the marketing perhaps”

“My daughter loves her days at this centre The teachers are great”

“Wonderful institution that provide excellent service to students.”

“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.”

“Due to moving, our son H has been to 5 childcare centres over 4 years in both Australia and New Zealand. Ako is our favourite. The owner Rachael and the kindy room teachers have been so accomodating, nurturing, patient and welcoming towards Hunter during his transition to NZ when things were quite overwhelming in his home life with the move and constant changes. We have a lot of experience to compare Ako to having toured at least 30 centres and having attended 5 previously and we feel so lucky that we landed here at Ako. We feel so safe and content leaving our son there and he has really blossomed during his time at Ako. We will be sad to say goodbye in January when our school journey begins. Thanks to the team for being such a great support for H. We appreciate you all more than you know!”

“Awesome Team. Awesome Kids; a massive community”

“Large, good acoustics, good visibility, good sound isolation.”

“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.”

“BestStart Aidanfield is the best. The staff there are amazing I would 100 percent highly recommend everyone to send their children there.”
