Institute in Christchurch

“Great school. The christian values are the same that we learn at home. Recommend and enjoyed this school”

“Our family has been part of Harewood Road Montessori for almost 6 years, with our second child currently attending, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The teachers are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive to each child’s needs. It’s been wonderful to see how much care they put into helping little ones learn, grow, and gain confidence. Communication with parents is fantastic — we’re always kept up to date through chats, photos, and learning updates. They also take food allergies very seriously, which gives me real peace of mind. The preschool organises lots of fun themed days and cultural celebrations throughout the year. They even had a visit from a police officer recently with police car, and my little one was so excited to tell me all about it! We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, nurturing place where our children truly thrive.”

“I have been a reliever at many schools in Christchurch over the last 3 years. Parkview is one of my favourites. I have found the children to be respectful, active learners, and it is a pleasure to teach in a school where the staff and children are friendly, supportive and caring. Having a balance of men and women teachers, older experienced teachers and young recently trained teachers provide the children at this school with good role models and educators with a range of skills and knowledge.”

“very nice school, I had a very good experience there, friendly teachers, nice atmosphere. 10/10”

“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.”

“Got recommended to take my car here by the AA roadside assistance as it broke down when I was in a rush. The service provided by the AA garage as well as the road side assist was amazing and extremely helpful was able to get back on the road in a couple of hours. Highly recommend!!”

“Customer service is amazing. Staff member Vaishali was very friendly with a big smile and genuine desire to help customers. Plenty of parking space. You can get your stuff for your road trip towards Arthur's Pass.”

“Fantastic golfing experience. Great layout. Fairways the best I’ve ever hit a ball off. The staff are a credit to your business. I wish I could remember your names individually as you’re an absolute credit to your employers. From the course Marshall who approached us to take pins out as we putted to apologising for the slowness as it was the members medal day. Which he didn’t have to do as I was thoroughly enjoying the day (again I’m hopeless with names but what a fantastic bloke who came and asked me in the clubhouse how my round went) Also the young proshop or manager who asked me how my day went as I sat for a beer. Great hospitality and I can’t wait to come back. 10/10 experience.”

“What an awesome facility and super friendly staff.”

“This is a wonderful school. The teachers are fantastic.”

“We love this nursery because all the staff are super kind and caring. We immediately felt relaxed meeting the team for the first time (especially Linda), and knew our child would be safe here and that she’d have loads of fun! Thank you to her wonderful teachers Chantelle & Eloisa, and to Jess on reception :) highly recommend!”

“Both my boys attend Riccarton Kindercare and they love it! All teachers and staff members are warm and welcoming, it’s clear that they are passionate about their work and the children that attend the centre. We have noticed such a change in my eldest since attending Riccarton Kindercare, he has come out of his shell enormously and creating relationships with those around him. My 6 month old has settled so well and he is always smiling when we collect him. We have a warm hand over and the communication from teachers regarding needs/wants/learning is always amazing! Can’t recommend enough!”

“Good school but if you do not go to class David Seymour come to your house FBI style but since I go to class I'm over halfway to level 1 at year 10 so if you want to learn this school is good just make sure you go to class”

“My daughter is very happy with school and her teacher, if she's happy, so am I.”

“Great guys, helpful, onside parking”

“Very friendly, loads of parking for students”

“Our daughter loves going to Lollipops. She has caring and attentive teachers who look after all her needs. We get lots of updates on her daily activities and progress. It is a safe, friendly and fun environment for her and we would recommend it to other families.”

“Very good service Gave answers for my question in time”

“Took my difficult car here for maintenance. The staff were amazingly flexible, helpful, and patient. Communication was friendly, timely and good. Prices very reasonable and car runs beautifully again. Highly recommended!!”

“love this place! love the staff (joe joe). highly recommend”

“My daughter has been in BS Fendalton for almost a year. She is always happy staying in the center and getting more and more confidence in social skills and preparation for school. As a parent, we are also quite happy to see our child playing, eating and learning all well in here. We are always comfortable to get in touch with any teacher in the center. The four-year group which is a program for preschoolers ready to school, is running so well and my daughter keeps talking about it to us every time she learns new stuff. There are also lots of outside-centre activities each week, from which Children can get chances to be closer to nature and our community. We really recommend families to have their children in here if they are looking for a center nearby.”

“I’ve been going to Stan’s Pharmacy now for around 7-8 years. Always so grateful for their opening hours, the care and attention staff alway show. The amount of useful information they share about your prescription and any interactions to be mindful of etc. Stan’s Pharmacy is the best in town and so grateful for their advice and care. Thanks to all the staff you are all truly an important part of our community. Cheers”

“Love this place - the biggest reason I return is because of customer care. Oh yeah, you have product, but so do the opposition. What stands out is the personality of good old kiwi humour and customer service from the guys on the floor. So important in the retail world of instant everything. Keep up the banter lads.”

“Love PittStop. Only to my car elsewhere once in over a decade and it was a disaster. I'll never take my car anywhere else now. Great service, friendly and helpful staff and super efficient. LSJ”
