“EXCELLENT DAYCARE!! I MOVED MY YEAR OLD BABY TO LEARN A LOT FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER AND THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE. HE IS NO LONGER COUGHING AND HAVING RUNNING NOSE. HIS WHOLE ATTITUDE CHANGED HE IS A HAPPY BABY. ALWAYS SMILING. THE TEACHERS ARE SO AMAZING AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR CHILDREN AND THERE CAREER. THE OWNER IS VERY ACCOMODATING AND OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS AND SHE WOULD HELP WHERE EVER SHE CAN. WELL DONE TEAM OF EXCELLENCE.”

“Bright Beginnings Early Learning Centre - Hamilton is like a second home to my 2 little girls. They are very supportive of the children’s early learning and individual development. The rooms are spacious, warm and cozy and provide different kinds of resources for the children to explore. My girls are always excited to go to kindy every morning. Since I have also recently become part of this centre, it’s good to know and see for myself how things work in the centre and how very passionate the staff are in looking after every child like they are family. As a parent, it gives me the peace of mind that my children are in good hands and are well taken cared of. Definitely made the right decision to enroll our children here.”

“3 of our children have attended Big Hugz. 2 of them with neurodivergence and our youngest with a physical disability. Yvonne and her team are and have been amazing throughout our daycare journey and our children that have maintained close relationships with their teachers. Would 1000% recommend if you're looking for an intimate setting with smaller numbers for your children.”

“Busy hands Montessori is an amazing place. All the teachers are very kind and friendly. Our daughter had great time in Busy hands Montessori. Our daughter learned many things happily in the Montessori. And she learned how to handle the emotions, respect each other and to be kind to others. All the teachers doing great work and they love all the children. And our daughter had a great time with them in Busy hands Montessori.”

“Amazing facility with great community vibe. Massive out door area with real grass and animals for children to interact with. My child loves going every day”

“My son has being coming to Hazlemere for a couple of years, and we are genuinely so sad for when he starts school. The kaiako are absolutely incredible and have such passion for what they do. My son has absolutely thrived and it has helped him become independent and ready for school. Highly recommend for any parents.”

“Haven't been. Hear great things about the place.thank you”

“Quite possibly one of the best cafes I have been to in Hamilton. Anytime I am in the area I like to have a sit down, drink some tea and enjoy their eggs on toast. Lovely food, lovely staff; just lovely all round. Never miss.”

“Such an amazing daycare, was super nervous taking my first baby to daycare for the first time but after seeing the daycare and their teachers I felt so much better about leaving her with them. They do such an amazing job and make all the kids feel like they belong. Would definitely recommend this daycare, ten out of ten”

“Shout out to Roger. Friendly, knowledgeable bloke in the paint department. Listened to my project and advised me accordingly on everything I needed. Very lucky to have found him on the day I went in.”

“Definitely a great place for your children! My twins have absolutely loved their time here, the outside area is so large for the kids who love being outdoors, inside is set up with different things each day which my girls love. They have built amazing friendships here and the teachers are incredible and so so easy to get along with! 100% recommend to others!”

“Bunnies currently serves as both my workplace and education provider for my son. When I went for my first visit 2 years ago, I was impressed by the size of the learning environment and the welcoming atmosphere. But I knew I wanted to stay after talking with the people there. The staff are friendly, they listen and are supportive of every child and family that walk through their door. It is a place that inspires me everyday as a teacher. I love that I can watch my son grow and develop before my eyes, guided by incredible teachers who have taken the time to know him. Bunnies is a place you've got to see for yourself, to truly appreciate everything that makes it special.”

“The best daycare centre ever!! The staff is amazing, always friendly and approachable. Great variety of fun and educational activities indoors as well as outdoors for my little one. Will most definitely recommend this centre to anyone!!”

“A wonderful preschool. Our daughter attended for 2 years before school and she loved it. There is a lot of outdoors time, including a morning walk each day, and time spent with animals and on the farm. The teachers are all wonderful, and there is minimal staff changes which allows the children to be settled and safe. The children have a good routine, while still being allowed free time to explore and be themselves. I would recommend this preschool to anyone wanting independent, confident and kind children, as these are the attributes I believe Newstead Preschool teaches.”

“My son has been attending the centre for 10 months now, and he's been so happy. The team at Tiny Hands (babies) is great, kind, supportive, and accommodating to my son's needs. I highly recommend this centre.”

“I enrolled my son at midcity following my niece attending almost 10 years ago and the amazing experience she had. Midcity from the start always made me feel so comfortable and reassured being a new mum and I’m so grateful for the love and care they provided and still provide my two sons. The teachers are so supportive with different learning and creating an environment that allows my kids to explore and grow. Thank you so much for all you do!!”

“A lovely centre with kind teachers and admin staff. Yummy menu for the children too. Lots of resources for little minds to develop and thrive. Nice outdoor area too. Thanks for taking care of my child.”

“6 Years ago our oldest daughter now 8 started with Central Kids in Huntly, a year and a half later her little sister joined and in 2024 at 2 years old our son joined them. For 6years our children have have had the greatest teachers and learning experiences. They truly deserve 10 stars. Thank you Central Kids!”

“New Shoots is a great daycare. My kids have allergies and this has never been an issue for the staff. My kids love going to daycare, always have a great day. The fact they have days off site is fantastic. My son loves Explorers. So good for them.”

“As soon as my kids walked through the gates they didn't want to come home. My kids have thrived more here then their last childcare. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, i would happily recommend this kindy to all others looking for childcare in our area.”

“What a lovely place! Both the kids rooms and teachers are amazing. The facilities are awesome for kids! Definitely worth the look.”

“I absolutely recommend this centre to everyone with toddlers and pre schoolers. The staff here are highly attentive to my sons extra needs, and most importantly their communication is top tier. I will be sad when my son graduates to school”

“The staff are lovely and so attentive and caring. They keep on regular communication if there are any issues and will actively work with you for your little ones individual learning needs. They have made the transition to daycare and back to work so easy for me and my boy. Highly recommend them!”

“Very welcoming. Boy and my baby girl love it here. Awesome people, kids settled in easy family like environment and staff very helpful. thanks heaps.”

“amazing kindy.. the staff are really great and look after kids really well. you guys are awesome.. Monica the twin will gonna miss you and all of the staff there :) thank you very much..”

“Active Explorers has been a wonderful second home for our daughter . Due to the pressure of lockdown , transitioning my daughter at the age of 9 months had its difficult moments as a mother but the Kaiako here at Active Explorers were flexible, understanding and supportive through the whole journey. My daughter is nearly 2 and still to this day love sending her here. I love to see her excitement every day , and her affection she shows to both her Kaiako and her peers.”

“Our kids are thriving at Campus Creche. We first started our son in Kowhai when we first moved to Hamilton in 2019 & felt immediately at home. The creche teachers became family & supported us through a really tough transition moving cities. Since then our son has moved through each centre & is almost off to school. Luckily we get to keep being part of the community with our daughter recently starting at Whekī. Other than the wonderful kaiako, we really love the huge outdoor spaces & nature-based play our kids get to experience.”
