Educational organization in Rangiora

“I am so grateful to Best Start Rangiora, with having to have my son start daycare at 4.5month old, it was so reassuring knowing he was going to a Centre where the educators really care, and treat him like their own. They're the most trusting group of teachers and I'm so glad I chose them.”

“Comfortable seats in the theatre, saw an awesome musical here. Great show.”

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Rangiora New Life is well located in central Rangiora. This is a great school which serves North Canterbury. There are some international students that have enrolled at the school. Rangiora New Life school is new entrant to year 13 school. The school is very fortunate to have very large playing fields. Having to the school myself you can be assured that the students are in very capable hands in a caring environment. This is a school that will go the extra step to ensure all is good with the students.”

“I vote we all one star it because a teacher roasted me once. Good school. Very inclusive of everyone and a great staff keep interactions real and practical. Students are the real let down here...”

“Good friendly teachers and a lovely receptionist”

“Big thanks to Rodney and the team at Tie Up Aviation for such a warm welcome and an awesome first lesson! The whole experience was super professional, I felt really safe the entire time, and the views were just incredible. The aircraft was in great condition and easy to feel comfortable in. Can’t wait to continue my PPL journey with them soon!”

“A couple of ratings with these folks, one on a pretty complex and rare type. Experience and dedication of instructors evident - thanks partic to CJ. Highly recommend.”

“Our 1 year old had been attending Poppies for 2 months now and we are really happy with our experience. The staff have all been fantastic as she (and we) have settled in to daycare life.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
