Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“Amazing and caring staff, lots of room outside for a lot of fun activities during sunny days ❤️”

“Has gone under new ownership, love the new owner and teaching team in the preschool room!”

“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.”

“A wonderful space for my children to play and learn and make friends. Have made great friends with the adults too! Large outdoor area and loads of exploring, with messy play, paints, woodwork, music, crafts etc.”

“Julia is a wonderful and talented teacher. She has taught me flute as an adult and has been patient and tried to understand why I make errors and correct them. She has given my a sense of accomplishment. My weekly lessons are the highlight of by busy weak.”

“Great school loved my time there”

“Great school, lots of attention from the teachers”

“Both of my daughters (now 6 and 8) are in the Tumbles class, not yet competitive. We've been in the class nearly a year and they have both grown so much -- athletically speaking -- able to kartwheel, handspring, etc -- but also personally -- developing the confidence to perform in front of an audience. The program is very well run, safe and incredible value for the skills and confidence little ones gain. I must also note, the management and coaches are not simply ticking boxes, they are people who really care, understand discipline and hard work, but also know that it has to be fun for younger children to want to be involved and to stay involved -- it's encouraging to see and an encouraging place for young people to be and learn! Wishing the program continued success :)”

“A couple of ratings with these folks, one on a pretty complex and rare type. Experience and dedication of instructors evident - thanks partic to CJ. Highly recommend.”

“Have nephews+son currently student here ATM- seems a good school”

“as a total novice and a pinch older than the instructor , I have been welcomed and treated with respect as I learn the basics and practice practice practice and learn the arts. I am also learning the respect in the arts to give back to the instructors , the ones that spar with me and the ones that come to support the new learners.”

“I highly recommend Diamond Lodge. My 9 year old daughter has been attending weekly lessons for the last year and has really developed her confidence and skills with Diamond Lodge while having fun at the same time! Her progress in such a short space of time has been truly remarkable. Credit to Sarah the instructor who is patient and highly skilled. Great for parents like me who don't own a pony as my daughter can now do Pony Club too.”

“I went to their latest one day intro to stunt riding clinic and have now started lessons as I had such an amazing time! The instructors place a huge emphasis on safety and making sure that all horses are well trained and gear is to the highest safety standard. It is the perfect place for anyone to learn who is looking to get into the industry or is wanting to get out of their comfort zone in the safest possible environment. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Current student there, great senseis, helpful students and an overall positive experience.”

“My son loves his classes, things are run timeously and Chris is really a nice person to deal with, he really cares about his students. :)”

“Best thing you can do to get your times down! I’ve tried the the team up north.. But Chris is another level! I’d say he’s the best in the business by far. The 86 is amazing and the Sim is brilliant! Thanks Chris!”

“A great safe way to improve your skills”

“Very kind teacher , dedicated and devoted with passion and experience.My daughter always enjoys the learning process”

“Great club and friendly people all keen to share their love of flying.”

“A friendly, fun and very caring community club with international grade professional rhythmic gymnastics coaching. Club athletes here includes very young beginners right through to athletes on the New Zealand Rhythmic Gymnastics Team. Definitely worth a look!”

“The experienced head coach of this Karate training, dojo, provides high-end, real kyokushin training and disciplines. And disciplines.It is giving my daughter loads of confidence in her life. It is giving my daughter loads of confidence.The training is tough, but once stepped out of the trainings, the head coach is an angel person. Keep up yo great work. Osu”

“Kaylie is amazing and so patient with our neurodivergent wee rider. He thrives under her instruction. Our teen rider is having success she could only dream about under Kaylie's tutelage. She is able to take what she learns and apply it to her young inexperienced mount. They are both excelling under Kaylie's instruction and skill.”

“Wonderful buildings and wonderful outdoor environment with beautiful plants and buildings. Feels like you are in the Harry Potter movies. I just went and enjoyed and smelled. Nice souvenir shop, maybe a little expensive. Expensive to enter too, cost SEK 500.”

“Great school for guiding young parents to get their needs and dreams a reality.”

“My daughter had singing lessons with Gina through her primary and secondary school years and really benefitted from the experience. Gina took her through all the singing grade exams, plus theory papers. I really rate Gina highly as a music teacher. She is a kind, patient and warm person with a genuine love of music and vocal performance. She has a real knack for bringing out the best in young people because she is so encouraging and positive. Her end of year concerts are a great way for students to show their progress and these are well-attended and well-run. As a parent, I have appreciated the hard work she put in to make these a success. My daughter is currently studying for a Bachelor of Music degree, majoring in Performance Singing. She could not have got this far without all the years of quality teaching from Gina, who prepared her so well for this phase of life. As a parent, I am very grateful for everything that Gina has done for us and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

“My daughter is always so excited to go to her ballet class with Hannah! The teachers are just fantastic with the students and I highly recommend GCDA to all!!”

“Great dance school, with great teachers and a positive, challenging and fun environment, highly recommend.”
