Child center in Hamilton

“Highly Recommend! Amazing ECE Centre!! Kids Cave is a wonderfully caring, family-owned centre that cares deeply about the children they look after and their families. I would recommend this centre in a heartbeat to anyone who values a positive environment where the children are given enriching play that is tailored to the children's needs and interests. Thoughtful play is provided for the children to help with the different stages of learning that they need. The centre owners are hands-on and take a genuine interest in each child's development and happiness. I am happy leaving my child in their care as I know they will be looked after. They have put their heart and soul into this centre, which shows through in their leadership of the teams. The centre manager helps create a happy, positive environment for the children and parents and takes any concerns we have and addresses them promptly from her wealth of knowledge and expertise. My child adores her teachers here and runs to give them a cuddle when she enters each morning. The teachers obviously have a great working relationship with one another, which filters down to the care they are able to collectively give to the children. Learning stories are written with lots of photos included that showcase the learning through play the children have been participating in, and have thought-out goals for the children with actions on how to achieve these goals for my child. Te Whaaraki, the New Zealand Curriculum for ECE children, can be seen in action through the planning and learning opportunities the teachers provide. Kids Cave provides all the food for the children, which is prepared and cooked onsite. My child loves the meals she has here, which are nutritionally balanced to meet her growing body needs. I give Kids Cave, Hamilton, a full 5 star review and highly recommend them to my family and friends. They are a centre who goes above and beyond looking after the children in their care.”

“I have 2 children attending Educare Tamahere, it has become an extension of our whanau. The staff are very caring and I feel my children’s safety and support is their top priority. I often recommend the centre.”

“Love the staff and facilities. The staff are amazingly caring during drop off when my youngest sometimes gets upset. Lots of cuddles. The staff treat my children as if they are their own.”

“Play to learn has been great for our son who started there when he was 6 months old. The smaller centre is lovely as it has created an environment where it is easy to form strong relationships between children and carers as well as other whaanau. We have been very happy with the care our son receives - thank you Kylee & team”

“My daughter is in Go Bananas Childcare Horotiu and she had a smooth transition from her previous childcare to here as the teachers are amazing in making sure that my daughter is feeling comfortable. From the management to the teachers and administrator everyone is pleasant. Glad that my daughter is at the right place.”

“Could not recommend this centre enough. My 2 children were there for over 3 years and they absolutely thrived. The centre manager & all the teacher go above and beyond for all the children. Their resources are amazing, the kids would always come home telling me all the new/different activities they’d do. We will miss Active Explorers Farnborough so much.”

“I can't speak highly enough of this daycare. I enrolled my little girl at 9 months and we were made to feel so welcome. The staff are incredible and I know my baby feels genuinely loved and cared for there. She gets excited when she arrives every morning and the Tahi room team are always there if I have any questions. We're unfortunately moving and the hardest part of making this move has been having to move my baby from Busy Bees. Having toured quite a lot of other daycares, we're well aware that not many are this attentive and caring about the kids. We feel so, so lucky to have found this daycare and will be recommending it to everyone. Thanks team xx”

“This daycare is like a diamond in the rough. When we were looking for daycare options we must have googled and visited a dozen different daycares with no luck. Then we just happened to drive pass this little gem and thought "let's visit this one". We're so glad we did. Best daycare of the lot. Our son is learning so much and has such an amazing time. Staff here are incredible and the children are too. 10/10, highly recommend.”

“Our 2 year old has thrived at The Meadows, seeing him happy and running in for a big hug at the end of the day grinning from ear to ear says it all.... The centre provides a safe space, encourages free play for kiddos, has the most amazing team of teachers and let's not fail to mention the incredible outdoor area in both the nursery and the preschool... our experience has been fantastic. Thank you.”

“I’ve been here for a full year now, Maia has improved in so much from her learning, she is become more creative and open, and enjoys being at Kindy while I study! Thank you Best Start. X”

“I recommend Lollipops Waikato to all my friends. The staff are incredible and always friendly and helpful. My twin boys are always happy to go to school.”

“Love this centre and the staff. My son started attending at 4months old and they have made me feel comfortable since day”

“Both myself and my girls love beststart dinsdale!! I have been coming here for over 7 years, all my girls have been here ☺️☺️”

“The best kindergarten All the staff are very nice and friendly. My son was there and stayed there until he was five years old. My daughter is still there and she has been there since she was one year old and now she is four years old. I highly recommend it.”

“Great learning centre! My son really enjoyed his days here even tho it was for a short time. He had the best teachers Anna and harpreet who always welcomed my child with big smiles and has helped him grow and connect with other kids. The other staff in the facility are all welcoming and kind aswell but My son has gained so much independence being here which has helped him start at the kindercare in rototuna. Really recommend this daycare, best centre ever.”

“Our daughter had many wonderful years at Kindercare. Great vegetarian meals, clean and safe environment and amazing staff members.”

“I am very satisfied with the FCM family. I have a 2yo boy and he attend since his 7 months. I couldn't be happier. I appreciate all the team for looking after my son with so much care! Highly recommended!”

“One of the first parents to join here when it was fist built in Feb 2023. Totally recommend. Teachers are lovely and children learn about recycling and nature with there great outdoor areas.”

“The YMCA in Hamilton is a fantastic community hub that offers a wide range of services and facilities, making it one of the best places to stay active and connected in the area. I’ve had the chance to visit a few times, and each experience has been incredibly positive. The gym facilities are excellent, with a wide range of equipment that suits all levels of fitness. Whether you're looking to lift weights, use cardio machines, or take part in group fitness classes, the YMCA has it all. I personally enjoy their group classes, as they’re always led by enthusiastic and supportive instructors who make it easy to stay motivated. From yoga to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the variety of classes available means you can mix things up and keep your workouts interesting. Beyond fitness, the YMCA in Hamilton is great for families and people of all ages. The swimming pool is another standout feature. It's well-maintained, and I love that it’s suitable for both casual swimmers and those who want to focus on fitness. Plus, there are a variety of programs for kids, including swimming lessons, sports camps, and after-school care, making it an ideal place for families to stay active together. What really stands out to me about the YMCA is the sense of community. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and dedicated to creating a positive environment. Whether you're there for a workout, a swim, or just to enjoy the social aspect, it’s easy to feel at home. Overall, the YMCA in Hamilton is a fantastic place to be. It provides excellent fitness facilities, a wide variety of programs, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it more than just a gym—it’s a community space where people of all ages can come together, get active, and improve their well-being.”
