Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“Very easy shopping there , had what I wanted , painless shopping”

“Amazing customer support, each and everyone person working there was great. Mark resolve the issue extremely well, even though they were out of stock on something but helped me get the right one.”

“Amazing is all I can say!! The ladies are so kind and do everything to make sure all the children have a great time. Come 5pm my son doesn't want to leave he is having to much fun. This program is so great for all us parents that need to work after school hours and these ladies do amazing at their job. Couldn't thank them enough for all the hard work they put in.”

“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.”

“Great family environment with a great supportive group where you can develop your skill and confidence in one's self”

“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 :)”

“Amazing dance studio. My daughter absolutely loved it. All the teachers are amazing. Highly recommend”

“Experience is like no other highly recommend great team great cars and the staff are very knowledgeable and will make sure you have a great day”

“This is the best place for stress free practical and theory piano lessons. Mrs Jamiee is so relaxed during concerts and that helps little ones have more confidence to perform their concert pieces. Both my son's love going to their piano lessons.”

“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 :)”

“I worked with Leanne at a very difficult time in my life. She is a fantastic teacher and when I started I could not even draw stick figures!!, she is a very wise and compassionate person who seems to have endless patience. when the opportunity presents itself I WILL be back . Give it ago you will surprise yourself.”

“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.”

“A wonderful kindergarten. The kids have heaps of free imaginative play time. The teachers are fantastic - engaged with the children and seem to really care about the well being and happiness of the kids in their care. As it is independent and not for profit it has a great community feel. So glad we found Fairleigh.”

“Amazing preschool, wonderful teachers who go above and beyond for the kids and parents. Very welcoming. Teachers invest a lot of one on one time with the kids which helps with their bonding and their learning”

“Absolutely love this centre. My kids are currently in the nursery and the Kindegarten and they love it. The staff are so warm and have bonded well with my kids, there are always fun activities and my kids genuinely enjoy going.”
