“This is a great Intermediate school In an urban setting.Lovely grounds , friendly staff and plenty of options for young children wanting to learn.”

“Very good collage with good learning environment.”

“Staffs we're very accommodating and polite, answered all my inquiries and had a smooth enrollment process for my niece compared to other schools we've been through. School also has friendly and diverse students which is a good thing. My niece also says that the teachers are very good at what they're doing and are very supportive.”

“The new school looks beautiful even though I went to the old one down in North Parade. Great to see they've got the fantastic sporting facilities nearby at QE2. I'll eternally miss the old school, and the original QE2 :( I hope the new school has squash courts. Best times of my life were had there! To fat and slow to play now!”

“Had some tasty donburi for dinner here the other day on a stretch of road without many other great options. Good food good value. I had the chicken numban and the wife had aburi salmon. We split an agedashi tofu.”

“Nice pizza, friendly staff and warm atmosphere. We made a reservation at the first table, and only needed 20 per person after the discount.Lasagna is very delicious.”

“One of the older stores I've been in, but tidy, well stocked, friendly staff. A little smaller than other ones but efficient.”

“Awesome helpfull and friendly staff.”

“We love Annabels, my daughter has been going there since February and she is thriving. She has gained alot of confidence in that time. She loves her teachers whom are warm and supportive with her learning. She loves the big outdoor play area with loads of room for the children. Annabels is her favourite place.”

“This is a great kindy. It has a huge outdoor area including a large covered area which is good for when it's raining. There are so many different activities set up to keep the kids busy. My daughter loves coming home with crafts she's made using the glue gun! The hours are perfect for my 4year old as she doesn't come home too tired and over stimulated!”

“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 :)”

“We have been part of the Rosy Cheeks family for over 8 years now. Our oldest daughter and son have moved onto primary school in that time and we felt they were both fully prepared and confident to make the transition after their time at Rosy Cheeks. Our youngest daughter, currently at Rosy Cheeks, also loves her time there. As a parent, the communication from head teacher Kathy is fantastic, and exceeded our expectations during the turmoil and challenges faced over the last 8 years. The daily contact,with each of the amazing teaching team (even when it is a brief word at drop-off or pick up) is very much valued. Rosy Cheeks has definitely met the needs for all 3 of our children and our family, and I would unreservedly recommend it as an Early Learning Centre.”

“Could not be more impressed with the staff here at Nottingham Ave. Their commitment to all children is incredible and are like family to us now. Highly recommend!”

“"I’m very likely to recommend BestStart to friends and family. Over the past month, we’ve really appreciated the warm and supportive environment provided for our children Advil and Advitha.The team has been incredibly understanding and flexible with our schedule, which has made the transition into care so much smoother. We feel confident that our child is in safe and caring hands every day."”

“This daycare is the best, all the staff are amazing, they're friendly and caring and my boy loves coming here, so if he's happy, I'm happy.”

“All four of our children have attended Te Whare Rama Edinburgh Street, and we have loved the experiences they've had there. As a paediatric occupational therapist, I feel very passionate about places and spaces for children. Specific things I love about Te Whare Rama Edinburgh Street are the natural grass area, vege gardens, and trees outside, large sandpit and well-resourced outdoor play area, a side room for sensory regulation inside, and consistent routines that provide structure to the children's days in amongst the free play opportunities provided. The staff have always been skilled, kind, and patient with the children, and I have valued how faith-based teaching has been interwoven through my children's early education years. Highly recommend!”

“Really enjoying to be a Cashemere BestStart family. Great teachers, safe enviroment and children family culture support. Also would mention fruits for parents every morning - so kind :)”

“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.”

“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.”
