Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“From the moment we first engaged with Busy Bees Woodend, I sensed it was a special place. When my family and I visited, we felt embraced and believed we had discovered a place that honored our culture and was more than just a typical daycare. The transition for our 29-month-old was handled with care and respect. He speaks our native language and does not yet understand English. I felt that the team respected our concerns and welcomed us warmly from the outset. One thing that also caught my attention was that, from the very first days, all the teachers would come to talk to me about my son, about our culture, and I noticed that they were genuinely interested in him and happy to help in the process. Now, we are delighted that he is joyful each day upon arrival, forging relationships, and developing skills in a nurturing and respectful environment. I cannot express enough gratitude to the entire Busy Bees Woodend team.”

“Large, good acoustics, good visibility, good sound isolation.”

“We love the Halswell Learning Tree. Our four year old goes there and always comes home with a big smile on his face. They do all sorts of different things, he is always bringing different goodies home to show us. Highly recommend. Such a great family feel, with real homely experiences, gardening and baking etc.”

“Awesome Team. Awesome Kids; a massive community”

“Excellent work for very reasonable prices. Super nice people to deal with =)”

“This is the best Kindy ever. The staff are welcoming and have been at the centre a long time and have a great deal of knowledge and support in place for all child and parents. All 3 of my children have attended here, one there now and my first child over 8 years ago. The centre has an amazing outdoor area and great clean spaces inside. A+++!!!!”

“When I moved from afternoon to morning kindergarten, the kindergarten also moved from Pleasant Point to its new home in Bridge Street. So I was a first-day pupil at this establishment. I am guessing it must have been January 1957.”

“Best Teachers, they are all nice, kind and caring ....”

“So lucky we found this kindy as it’s pretty close to our house, with great and brilliant teachers for my wee one. Highly recommended :)”

“Our son has been apart of the Pascals family for a few 2 years now. We love that he gets yummy food each day. He has made some close friends with other children and teachers. I have to bribe him to leave most days!”

“Steve is the most knowledgeable man of martial arts that you would find here in NZ he has helped me so much to gain confidence and body awareness. I highly recommend him if you are looking for useable self defence.”

“I'm so glad I stopped in with my daughter for a visit”

“Fantastic kindergarten, all teachers are nice. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely teachers. I love how they individually pay attention to the children's need and write a review and feeback in Educa so us parents can see the progress of what they are learning in school. I often get educated too on how they build up the learning through playing. My daughter loves her kindee so much. It's never a dull moment for her. She often feels sad when it is not her school day, she very much enjoys her kindee. Teachers are so approachable and loving and good values are very much imparted to my daughter. Would rate them higher than 5 star.”

“Fundies is an extraordinary place where my three children have truly thrived. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from the staff, creating a welcoming environment for both children and parents. The teachers at Fundies are compassionate and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. I love the perfect balance of learning through play-based activities, Fundies is equipped with everything needed to facilitate a stimulating learning environment while having lots of FUN with peers and teachers What truly sets Fundies apart is the sense of community and family that they have cultivated. The communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our children's progress throughout each day they attend on the Storypark App. I am grateful for the positive impact every teacher at Fundies have had on my children's lives and highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching preschool for their little ones.”

“Fantastic pre school!! Our little kiddies love it and all the lovely teachers”

“Absolutely love this preschool. My daughter has been so happy here for the last 3 years. The teachers are so lovely, the children happy, and my daughter has thrived here. Peaceful, positive atmosphere. A caring and inclusive culture. Couldn’t be happier with it.”

“Awesome pre school! I would definitely recommend.”

“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. :)”

“Performance was amazing and fun upbeat music with powerful voices. Disappointed by the all white crowd, … how do you get other cultures to attend I wonder? Something in the marketing perhaps”
