“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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 :)”

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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 ❤️”

“My babies truly enjoy learning and playing at this school, especially my daughter's teacher, Sarah Cousins. She skillfully nurtures my daughter's love for music, dance, and rhythm. Much gratitude.”

“Staff are fantastic and were excellent in helping my son Jake settle. They were helpful, caring and supportive. Admin staff is excellent. Friendly and efficient”

“We held our choir retreat here and Showbiz Christchurch couldn’t have been more helpful and generous with their spaces.”

“A lovely ECE centre with wonderful, caring staff. They have a modern, purpose built premises and provide nutritious cooked meals/ snacks throughout the day. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her years at Cuddles.”

“My son attends and the coaches are absolutely brilliant. I couldn't recommend them enough.”

“Purchased Evo 12 m2 aluula DLab kite, it handled 20 gusting 24 kts at Brighton pier with ease. My old 2020 model could not do that”

“Highly recommended blossoms educare rolleston for any one looking for child care for there tamariki. The staff are absolutely wonderful and caring towards my current son who attends my daughter graduated last year and my youngest will be starting in July at only 6months old. I love that the centre is multi cultural also they have amazing indoor and outdoor facilities with plenty of room for little ones to play and learn.”

“Rangiora Nursery School has been such an amazing place for my children to learn and grow. The staff are warm and welcoming, the environment is ideal for busy children and I love the learning through play philosophy. I have recommended Rangiora Nursery School to so many friends and families now and they to have no regrets sending their children as well.”

“PART OF THE FAMILY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Our first born started attending BSB at 6 months old and was there up to his 3rd birthday (we then moved overseas). Our second born also attended from 6 months as a “casual” spot. I can honestly say that the caretakers at BSB in both the nursery and preschool are PHENOMENAL. The nursery holds a special place in my heart, from the day of our visit the team there made me feel so reassured, and loved. They listened to my concerns or worries (mostly about naptime ha!) and made sure to work on a plan with me that would best suit my child. They were great in providing updates and photos every day and I truly felt like they became part of our family. Same goes for the preschool team - I knew my toddler would transition well from babyhood to toddlerhood with their program for the year and their high attention to individual care. Our move to France further confirmed how great BSB did for building essential foundations for my kids. My son, now attending school in France, has gotten so many compliments on his community-spirit, individuality, independence, and patience which are all traits that BSB contributed to developing during his growth there. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. We miss you every day and appreciate all the love and care you gave to our family.”

“Great scenery, worth the trip. Even if I wasn't allowed to play on the rides.”

“Wonderful environment for learning.”

“Have seen a number of performances in this great space and I think it accommodates live performances very well.”
