School in Christchurch

“Really good infrastructure and facilities for different sports activities in Rolleston. Well maintained and valuable for the community.”

“Nice venue. Great that we can come over from Diamond Harbour and enjoy some live performances. Loved seeing Joe Bennett talk about King Lear.”

“This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.”

“Our grand daughter looks fwd to Wednesday every week.”

“Beautiful works in a beautiful building. Even the drain pipes are beautiful.”

“First time playing mini golf at McDuffs today. $35 for 2 adults and 1 preschooler. Grounds are well maintained, with the castle being the main feature. Had a good time! Highly recommend.”

“I found my experience to be satisfactory, the worker miki helped me out a bunch, she helped me decide what size I was in the clothes and did it with expert skill I would expect from the only school clothing store I know off, I am very pleased with my service.”

“The best for Rugby league season finals”

“Great cafe in Waikuku. Good choice of freshly made food in the cabinet. We had the salmon quiche and chicken filo - both were excellent. Coffee was good too. Worth a stop on SH1.”

“Really nice ground, good practice area and and parents can sit and watch. Enough place for car parking.”

“Absolutely amazing place to go for a trek, staff were amazing with helping me gain my confidence on the wonderful and amazing Courage. The scenery was amazing, the horses are all beautiful and I loved learning about each of their race careers. I loved going into the river on horse back. The whole things was one seriously amazing experience and I can not wait to come back. Also absolutely loved our trek leader talking with her while riding made me feel like it wasn't the first time back on a horse in over 8 years”

“Perfect for kids to learn soccer football... highly recommended”

“Great acoustics, easy access to seating. Parking not so easy.”

“Great fun for all ages. My daughters loved the pony rides. They were a bit nervous, but the people working the pony rides were so nice and made my girls comfortable and have an awesome time. Lots of other beautiful and interesting animals to see and feed.”

“Great visit thanks to the volunteers keeping this running. Support this marvellous place, an-example of how the “old timers” lived. Brent at the model trains was particularly interesting. I hope the government can also see the value and start the funding once again.”

“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“Live this place. Friendly staff. Clean theater Our local. Great films And special events”

“absolutely awesome! The crew were amazing, the food was incredible and abundant, the dives of course were phenomenal. Highly recommended! The organizer, Brett, went above and beyond over and over!”

“Amazing dance school! The most friendly and welcoming environment. Leo is a very experienced, attentive, and patient teacher. I highly recommend it, for all levels, including people with no dance experience.”

“We’re thrilled with the Plexipave resurfacing which has transformed our old asphalt court. Mel and Jules were fantastic to deal with. Professional, efficient, friendly and great communicators, nothing was ever a problem. Working with the weather, they came at all hours over Labour weekend to get the job done and the result is superb. Rob and Sue”

“Our daughter attended Kindercare-Addington for over a year, starting in the Tui Room and later moving to the Pukeko Room. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support she received. The teachers have been so accommodating to her needs — from helping with potty training to teaching her songs, and basic facts that toddler should know. One thing that really impressed us is how well they encouraged healthy eating habits. Our daughter now enjoys vegetables and fruits that many parents struggle to get their kids to eat — like carrots, cucumber, capsicum, and even onions! From the very first day I visited, I noticed how well the school maintains cleanliness and hygiene, which was a major deciding factor in enrolling my toddler. It’s been wonderful to watch her grow in confidence, skills, and healthy habits during her time here. Sadly, we have to move her to another preschool due to our recent house move, but we are very grateful for everything that Kindercare-Addington has done for our daughter. Highly recommended!”

“I had a great experience with SOLE academy. I entered with very little musical experience, some tightness when trying to sing, and no way in hell I’d sing in front of anyone. My vocal coach (Ananda) was very encouraging and built up my confidence. She also had a knack for picking the right thing for me to work on and made it easy for me to understand and improve. After a short stint of lessons I have already gained a lot and singing around the home (which I never used to). The communication and experience from the whole SOLE team was very good and I couldn’t recommend any higher!”

“I wasn't overly keen on the little one going to day care, those exhausting years ago. But then the little one started and I was needed to do drop off and pick up increasingly for a while. The staff have some sorta knack with kids. My treasure of a child helps them, even informs them of the time and how to go about the required tasks. They have almost become her second home. She has blossomed so much and learning so much about being a good person, sharing toys beds mat time what ever. Learning about compassion for her class mates. This centre has been the best choice for out little treasure mostly due to the staff their patience under standing and willingness to push for that next step in development. I don't know who will be saddest about the eventual moving on to school the staff the little one or the wife and I.”

“My daughter attended various classes over several years and loved the experience. Teachers are very talented and great with the kids. The annual show is awesome, with all the kids and adults involved. I highly recommend Jete Dance Studio to bring out the best in your child!”

“Our family loves Annabels, it’s a safe, caring and fun environment for our daughter to learn in! She loves it so much she asks to go to preschool every time we drive past. The teaching staff are wonderful, and are very supportive they welcome you and your child every morning with a smile. It has the rural feel and are keeping the old childhood traditions alive remembered by the parents when they were young. Would 100% recommend.”

“Both of my boys attend Annabels New Brighton and have since around 1 year old. I feel happy leaving the kids in a safe environment, well staffed & provides great learning and activities to keep them occupied. The teachers are qualified & really build a great rapport with the children.”

“My daughter absolutely loves going to her acro class each week. She has been training with Amy for four years now and has gained so much confidence, strength and flexibility. She’s mastered many skills during her time with Amy and continues to enjoy working on new ones.”

“I only have good things to say about Annabel’s - we absolutely love it! Our daughter started in the nursery, then the pre-k & is currently in the kindy, and truly thrives there. The teachers are outstanding- so caring, fun & organised, and have been so amazing helping my daughter transition to each room. There are so many fun activities - singing, dancing, arts, crafts, outdoor fun + more. My son has just started in the nursery & I am excited for him to be starting his Annabel’s journey.”

“Absolutely loved pottery class here! Tess is so friendly and knowledgeable, class is always one of the best parts of my day. I loved the freedom to create, and with the guidance and expertise from Tess I was really proud of our work. Would definitely recommend and will go again!”
