91 BestStart Beckenham
“PART OF THE FAMILY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Our first born started attending BSB at 6 months old and was there up to his 3rd birthday (we then moved overseas). Our second born also attended from 6 months as a “casual” spot. I can honestly say that the caretakers at BSB in both the nursery and preschool are PHENOMENAL. The nursery holds a special place in my heart, from the day of our visit the team there made me feel so reassured, and loved. They listened to my concerns or worries (mostly about naptime ha!) and made sure to work on a plan with me that would best suit my child. They were great in providing updates and photos every day and I truly felt like they became part of our family. Same goes for the preschool team - I knew my toddler would transition well from babyhood to toddlerhood with their program for the year and their high attention to individual care. Our move to France further confirmed how great BSB did for building essential foundations for my kids. My son, now attending school in France, has gotten so many compliments on his community-spirit, individuality, independence, and patience which are all traits that BSB contributed to developing during his growth there. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. We miss you every day and appreciate all the love and care you gave to our family.”

95 Te Whare Rama Early Learning Centre Lyttelton St
“Fantastic centre, the teachers are invested in our child's educational and emotional wellbeing. Our daughter loves to attend here and the team were supportive and gentle during her transition to preschool. Our 2 yr old currently attends Lyttleton St and this is a great environment for her because the centre only allows up to 3.5yr olds. So my child is with children her own age rather than being in a space with up to 5yr olds.”

97 Harewood Rd Montessori by Busy Bees
“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.”

108 Halswell Nest Early Learning Centre
“We moved from Auckland to Christchurch and our son was at Halswell Nest for 2 years. In that time it’s hard to articulate how amazing for him, and our family the centre was to us. The teachers are absolutely awesome, they encourage the children to explore, and do lots of outings with the kids, even if it’s down the road to the park, to the library or even to the supermarket for baking supplies. I really valued the smaller numbers, home-away-from-home vibe, the caring nature of the team, as well as their experience. I also liked that all ages were in together, which allowed our son to learn to interact with kids of all ages. They do have a separate space for younger children but encourage play across age groups. It was with reluctance we left to head away again, but we will never forget our time there and people we met. The owners and teachers really supported us through the pandemic, we felt cared for and supported. Thanks team! All the best :-)”

109 Templeton Nursery & Preschool Ltd
“If you've never walked into a room full of 30 kids, that feels calm and peaceful - it's a pretty magical experience. Both my boys have attended this preschool from the age of around 2, and I don't know what kind of magic the teachers here possess but it's pretty common to walk in to a calm room, 30 kids of various ages working on something with a teacher, or playing peacefully together, or happily playing independently. This is an awesome preschool - amazing teachers, really hands on manager, and the coolest sandpit my boys had ever seen. Any time we've had an issue over the years the staff have been really proactive and managed it well. It's a fantastic preschool and absolutely incredible team of teachers who give so much to the kids every day.”

One of the biggest benefits has been the great teacher to student ratio, as well as the consistency in the environment.”
