Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“Busy Bees is a wonderful family friendly environment for your child to grow and develop. We have enjoyed the experience very much and have enrolled our second child. He is a very busy almost 2 year old and he loves it. He runs into the Center and is always greeted by the smiling friendly staff. They do not hesitate to go above and beyond if you have a problem. They are very solution focused and deliver a high standard of care and education. Each child has a primary care giver but all of the staff deliver cuddles smiles and love as required. We get a summary of the day on pick up and regular updates via Story Park complete with photos. I recommend Busy Bees as the place to be and thank them for the care and love they have shown our family.”

“The first moment we walked in to Beststart Prestons we felt very welcomed. The teachers and staff are so genuinely caring and really take the time to get to know the children. There are plenty of engaging projects that the children love getting involved in. I have loved seeing the friendships develop between the kids. The teachers have helped so much with giving my son confidence and getting him prepared for school. The meals are fantastic and its great to know my son has had a healthy meal and maybe tried some new foods too! Storypark makes it's easy to see all the great things they are doing during the day, the friendships they make and the progress they're making too. A wonderful preschool, it makes the tough job of not being with my son while I'm working a whole lot easier knowing that he is so happy and well cared for.”

“An absolutely fantastic place, cannot rate the staff highly enough. Our family have been supported and cared for since day one, and our kids just love going. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to send their preschool kids.”

“Both my girls absolutely excelled with their Dance at CB. Both Improving dramatically from day one. The environment was infectious with such lovely girls and lifetime friendships made. The girls loved being at the studio as much as they could be. Was a huge positive that they could both continue their love of dance with versatility getting to work hard in both classical and modern.”

“I can't recommend CELC more highly. I have been blown away by the centre and the team who make it so special. My two children have blossomed during their time at CELC. The teachers are kind, caring and intentionally foster a safe, calm, stimulating environment for the children. There are fun new activities daily, the children are taught in a way which fosters a love of learning, and they learn not only information about how the world works but also about self-care, relationship skills and emotion regulation. The centre has exceeded my expectations. 5* and thank you so much CELC team!”

“Cotswold Preschool & Nursery has a wonderful vibe, quietly tucked away from the busy world we all live in today. There is plenty of safe parking. I have 3 children, 8,5&3 years old, my two boys absolutely loved going there & my daughter (3) enjoys it very much & gets excited to go. All of the children love the teachers they are very caring,they do amazing job on the childrens profile books,work as a team,have fantastic stations of creativity set up each day never the same old boring things to do.The children loved the space of inside & outside.They help the children 'get ready for school'. The team of teachers are all very supportive to me as a parent, dealing with different stages the children have gone through. The cost (cheap) of sending my children here over the years has been amazing.This community base centre, is a real asset for the community! I would highly recommend Cotswold Preschool”

“Excellent centre. Great teachers who really care for your children.”

“Excellent preschool with amazing staff and teachers. My child absolutely loves going and gets quite upset on a weekend when she is told we staying home this morning. The food choices are amazing and very well balanced. I can see how my child has blossomed and grown in the few months she has attended. She comes home daily with new information which is taught in such an enthusiastic way. The teachers are caring and very attentive. Definitely recommend!”

“Peppertree Preschool is one in a million. The way they have helped my son grow into the little man he is turning into is absolutely astounding. The love and passion these ladies have for their job and every individual is out of this world. We are going to miss you all dearly.”

“Best dance school I've been to. Such a positive atmosphere, very encouraging, and the teachers give their all. It's a great mix of people and is always the highlight of my week. Every student is treated with kindness and respect, and there is nothing but kind and construtive words.”
