School in Christchurch

“We love Woolston preschool! So grateful for the kind and knowledgeable team here. It's very clear the teachers and management work hard to create the most nurturing and welcoming educational environment.”

“Our son Larry has had the best experience at Kindercare with warm teachers and staff. They help give families flexibility and teach the children so many helpful skills they need in the world. Larry is very well prepared for school after a year of amazing topics and opportunities. Couldn't fault the centre and recommend highly.”

“We are a month in from starting but this isn’t including the stretched settling in time that we took- I am incredibly grateful to the team and know that my little one adores them, making it so much easier to leave her there knowing she is having such a great time”

“Lots of fun there! Almost christmas 14th of December and 15th of December show time you can go to that if you want! 2024”

“Annabel has created the best little pottery place ever! Super chill environment with small groups so you get that one on one help if needed. Highly recommend booking one of her workshops, you won't regret it!”

“Beststart has some of the most calming and easy to communicate stuff members. Their goals of early childhood education is clear and direct and easy to follow along with, especially for the growth of your children.I would recommend highly to anyone who needs a pre-school/Daycare. One thing I struggled with was money but Best Start offers affordable daycare. Very thankful to have them so close to home ♡”

“Julie is an amazing coach and I always feel wonderful after her yoga and flow yoga classes. She creates such a sense of deep calm and positivity in a totally supportive manner. My flexibility and balance have improved and I am better able to relax. I had never tried yoga nidra before and each class is a wonderful experience. I can't recommend Julie highly enough. Pam”

“My children have been involved with this music school for over three years now. Their classes are a highlight of their (and my) week. The teachers are friendly and talented educators. The rooms are warm, bright and welcoming. As well as having fun their musical aptitude is going from strength to strength. My five year old plays piano with both hands. My seven year old can finally sing in tune. The Chch Music Academy classes are great value for money and an asset for the children of Christchurch. I love the easy parking too:)”

“We visited a lot of daycares in the area and chose the YMCA because we loved the community feel. The kids are always out and about, taking part in activities and visiting places like the gym, library and park. Our daughter took some time settling in but the teachers have been wonderful with her and now she has really found her feet and has made some great friends. We love the Y :)”

“Great swim school! Well organised & Blair is an awesome coach. Highly recommend!”

“5-Star Review for BestStart We couldn’t be happier with the care our baby receives at BestStart! From the very beginning, we’ve felt completely confident leaving our little one in the hands of such kind and dedicated teachers. A special thank you to Tracey and Dani, who always go above and beyond with the babies — their warmth, patience, and genuine love for what they do shines through every day. Tracey and Dani create such a calm, nurturing environment where our baby feels safe, settled, and engaged. It’s clear they take the time to get to know each child individually and build strong, trusting relationships. We love seeing the updates, stories, and little milestones they share with us — it means so much. Thank you, BestStart team, for the incredible work you do, and especially to Tracey and Dani for being absolute superstars. You're making such a positive impact during these precious early years!”

“Our daughter goes here, great family atmosphere, very welcoming! She loves it!”

“Can’t thank enough this awesome Kindy. They have great and kind teachers. They’re focused and dedicated to the child’s development. Lots of fun activities that kids would surely enjoy. We’ll miss the school and staffs as my child will move to primary school. Cheers! ❤️ -Karen”

“My daughter enjoys the classes and teachers as it is well designed for each age, fast paced and very entertaining. I can see her growing dancers postures and feelings over time, and she keeps asking to go back. She really enjoyed the annual production and it is professionally made and such a great chance for them to shine and familiarise with what’s behind the show and stage.”

“I attended two classes, both the beginner and intermediate courses and was very impressed with the instructors. They were friendly, inclusive, informative, and articulate, especially when it came to explaining the finer details and trouble-shooting around the more complex techniques. They also did a great job to not take themselves too seriously and sprinkled a fair bit of humor and lightheartedness into the class as well. A very enjoyable experience and I recommend anyone interested in Latin dance to give them a shot. Even though I had a fair amount of experience, I still learned a great deal from just those two classes.”

“Great martial art to practice in a relaxed, community-oriented environment. Ideal place to learn true martial art fundamentals for self-defense, fighting, and for personal development. Joining after many, many years experience in another martial art, it has been life changing. Highly recommend.”

“I joined in 1996. Best boost in confidence ive ever had. Great support and community.”

“The staff are amazing settling in my toddler. You can tell they are actually passionate about their job and care.”

“Whether you’re training to compete or just want to learn jiu jitsu, Axis Rolly and Coach Dan are where it's at. It's a welcoming environment with great facilities and everyone is treated equal. If you're a woman who wants to try out jiu jitsu, I can't recommend Rolly enough! Not to mention your jiu jitsu gains will increase ten-fold...”

“Emily is the most professional, passionate and devoted teacher with an impeccable work ethic and an incredible energy. E Dance Productions is not just about the technical aspect of dance and choreography - it is about confidence, presence, commitment and personal growth. Highly recommended!”

“My son loves going to the classes! Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. Also had a few conversations with the instructors, they are really passionate with what they do. Highly recommend :)”

“Big thanks to Rodney and the team at Tie Up Aviation for such a warm welcome and an awesome first lesson! The whole experience was super professional, I felt really safe the entire time, and the views were just incredible. The aircraft was in great condition and easy to feel comfortable in. Can’t wait to continue my PPL journey with them soon!”

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“Great family run club, great fun for the kids while they learn in a world class quality program run sone of new zealands best”

“They have a nice big play rooms and lovely teachers. My son loves to go here and he loves his teachers. I am at peace whenever I am at work knowing that my son is very well taken care of. I like the idea that they are serving healthy meals to the babies, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Because not all preschool are offering free food. I love how my son is going home with new learnings that he is showing to us. If ever I would have another baby again, I will definitely enroll in best start again ❤️”
