Children's entertainment in Hamilton

“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.”

“We really enjoyed our time here. The fully fenced and secured play area is perfect for younger children, and the other areas have so much to explore. Our little one really enjoyed the water plays, and we ended spending more time than planned.”

“Amazing park. Actually I think it’s the best. Whoever Jim was he’s solid. Thank you! Thanks to the cleaners or boys keeping that park in mint condition there too doing a great job. Son was so happy.”

“One of the best playground , much better than playgrounds in Auckland . Well maintained too”

“A genuine pleasure to join them for their Christmas extravaganza! Kind words don’t do their hospitality and friendship justice, and I’m so happy I could help put on a great show for the kids. Can’t wait to go back!”

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

“We had a fantastic day here, stayed for about two and a half hours. There is so much to do we could have easily stayed longer!! Will definitely be back, thanks Dave for sharing all your knowledge with us!!”

“What a great place to mingle and meet new people when your not in a good head space.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“Good experience - Reception lady was nice and helpful, We did the dairy room, had a great time - good interaction level.”

“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.”

“This garden is absolutely fabulous. With moving tree limbs and over sized things it’s definitely a step into a world of wonder. The door is very much the big attraction but a few other things looted around the gardens edges that are also over sized makes an equal photo opportunity also”

“Impressed that we could bring the dogs for a walk, it has benches for those who want to relax and watch the ducks. Beautiful mature trees and tranquil setting with we'll maintained walkways and a magical waterfall next to a long flight of stairs which takes your up to a children's playground and an outdoor Adults gym.”

“Our local park, got everything you need for a park. Simple and fun, plenty parking spots.”

“Beautiful mini golf. 18 holes. Very kind staff. We really enjoyed the game”

“Just ate at the cafe. Wood fired pizza was excellent, enjoyed a Greek Salad. A nice place to spend the evening, and have a drink after a day of hiking. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the drive. Would definitely pop round again!”

“This has to be the most organised opshop around. Not only is everything categorised but clothes are on hangers in their correct size - unheard of! I always find something to take home and the prices are how it should be at an opshop - affordable. It has a great range of babywear too.”

“Excellent for all ages!! Neat and safe, big Open space grasslands Cafe next door, mini golf option. One of thee best playgrounds in Hamilton and we now frequent weekly. Worth visiting for sure”

“Such a unique place at the heart of Hamilton! I initially thought this would like any other botanical gardens but I was wrong. The concept of having different themed gardens (Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Indian) was quite refreshing to see and that made the whole experience unique and engaging throughout the visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking to take professional photos as the garden has a lot of color and diverse options.”

“We visited Ninja Hamilton and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I want to extend a big thank you to the team. They were incredibly supportive and so friendly. They made the entire experience better.​This is a fantastic place, and I highly recommend a visit. It's the perfect outing, even if it's a rainy day.”

“Page is a queen, don’t play w meeeee. give her a pay rise + 2 week all expense paid holiday to bali. made our experience so perfect”

“This is a great nature walk for people of all ages and great for dog owners except those who don't adhere to the rules by letting there dogs of the leash which I saw today while walking my dog it only takes one incident of an attack of any kind and legislation will bank dogs from entering the park there are plenty of signs informing dog owners that dogs must be on a leash at all times while in the park and for those few who ignore this simple rule jeopardize the park for the rest of us dog owners who use the place to exercise our pets thanks lady you know who you are”

“Our family joined LDA this year, and we've been made so welcome. Not having a foundation in dance, I have a lot of questions and the team do such a brilliant job of answering them - or preempting them with detailed communication. Our dancer is so happy to attend each week, adores her teacher and the friends she has made. She has shown growth in not only her dance but in her poise, confidence and desire to learn. The teaching is well structured and the teachers are passionate about their craft. The standards and rules within the studio environment help create a cohesive vibe - and the special dress up days are a highlight each term!”
