“My daughter has been attending this childcare for approx 4 months now and it has been the happiest 4 months ever! She absolutely loves it here. All the teachers are incredibly skilled, patient, kind, dedicated and loving with all the children. It’s a very outdoorsy and creative childcare centre which is what we love the most. I would highly recommend enrolling your child.”

“I am very happy to have chosen such a good kindergarten for my children. Helen, Kai, and Ange all great and my kids love them！”

“Busy Bees is superb. All of their teachers are so charismatic and engaging with every child. The nursery, preschool, and kindergarten have all unique styles. You know all of the teachers love what they do. Go Busy Bees!”

“Love this school. So pleased to send our daughter and son there.”

“Fantastic kindy! Our son has been going here since he was two and he absolutely loves it. The facilities are great, especially the huge and adventurous outdoor areas. The teachers are wonderful and we can’t fault it on any level.”

“Current student there, great senseis, helpful students and an overall positive experience.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Really nice interaction with the lady at shop, nice and tidy shop.”

“School was great when it was standing... spent grade 7 there in 1990.”

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

“Awesome Team. Awesome Kids; a massive community”

“Excellent work for very reasonable prices. Super nice people to deal with =)”

“This is the best Kindy ever. The staff are welcoming and have been at the centre a long time and have a great deal of knowledge and support in place for all child and parents. All 3 of my children have attended here, one there now and my first child over 8 years ago. The centre has an amazing outdoor area and great clean spaces inside. A+++!!!!”

“When I moved from afternoon to morning kindergarten, the kindergarten also moved from Pleasant Point to its new home in Bridge Street. So I was a first-day pupil at this establishment. I am guessing it must have been January 1957.”
