“Friendly caring teachers. Nice small centre. Yummy healthy food, all round rich learning experiences for my children. Son had being there since he was 2 he is now 4. Previously my 6 yo attended. Now my baby is going to start too.”

“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.”

“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..”

“The teachers at BestStart Puketaha are nothing short of incredible. They have become our village that have supported us in raising our daughter since she was a baby. They put in so much care and love into our family, and have become so in tune with her and what she needs. As she heads off to school next week we are really sad to close this chapter but know that she has had the absolute best preparation for this next phase and beyond because of the journey she has had a Puketaha.”

“Best start somerset has been amazing,. Teachers are friendly and experienced. Fun activities for kids and interaction with parents regarding child's developmental goal is worth praising. Highly recommend.”

“Love how friendly staff is and all the effort that gets put into my son who has hearing loss”

“i love that there is so much great outdoor space and lovely teachers.”

“Cannot speak highly enough of the teachers at best start mville, they are amazing!”

“Good service, and friendly staff. I bought some potting mix and the checkout operator Paige was so lovely. She loaded it into a trolley and into my car. She had such a cheerful attitude and I was so grateful for her help. I was having a hard day and she took a bit of the load off for me. Thank you”

“Our kids truly love this kindy. I really value my children feeling they can do things on their own, and are encouraged to do so. It has the most amazing outdoor area for the kids to explore, and are actively encouraged to test their abilities by the teachers. My children come back so proud of the 'creations' they have made each day, and I know that as much as they have used the hot glue gun themselves, it was in a safe and supervised environment. It's so rewarding seeing at home how much they have progressed in academic areas like puzzles or recognising letters. But also in the ways they interact with others and problem-solving through their frustrations.”

“Very beautiful atmosphere for the our kids. I will recommend to all community people. Service and teacher are excellent best place enrol kids in Cambridge…”

“Great atmosphere, very attentive with children and provides a bilingual component which is great.”

“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”

“The team at ArtMakers run a fantastic holiday programme that provides children with a creative outlet in an encouraging and inclusive environment. Our two children love having the opportunity to make a variety of art and crafts. A highlight is the drama block where they have the opportunity to showcase backdrops and costumes they have produced in a mini show. We have become regulars and would highly recommend this programme for other families.”

“I have been with this ECE for 4 years and I highly recommend. My child started as a 1 year old and has just graduated. They are excellent in all areas including communication which is so important to me and our whānau. If you are looking for more than a "daycare" then this is for you. With highly skilled and kind staff, your child is in the best hands.”

“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.”

“I was just feeling Nostalgic and remembered all the great memories I had at this kindy, I dont know how much has changed now but when I was there 9-12 years ago it was the perfect kindy to make friends and memories at, thank you for starting my life off with a nice start”

“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.”

“I want to thank Wendy on Tuesday and the young man on Sunday that helped me with professionalism and politeness on a mix up of cat food price. It's people like you that makes the shopping experience enjoyable wanting to return to your store. Thank you”

“I was just reading my little kinderdarten folder and I just want to appreciate how supportive this kindy was. Every kid is appreciated and looked after, and the staff made sure to do everything they can to help the kids learn and develop all theur skills. I am about to graduate highschool now and after reading my folder, I realise that art has always been my thing since kindergarten and the staff made sure to document every moment of it. I'm so thankful that I was sent here because if it weren't for all the staff, I wouldn't be the smart and creative girl I am now.”

“Great teachers, beautiful calm environment.”
