Children's entertainment in Hamilton

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“Fantastic value for money. Helen is friendly and helpful without being pushy and in your face. I buy quality not trash and have saved 1000's $$$$ here!”

“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”

“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.”

“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”

“We can highly recommend this store. We love it! It not only has a great range of furniture but also has efficient, charming and caring staff. Our No.1 go to for the whole house.”

“Great place for kids and adults to train, people are very helpful”

“Great small park my son is 2 & 1/2 he loves this park! Easy parking.”

“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.”

“Awesome time and greatest time watching the balloons be put up and the kids loved it as well”

“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.”

“I seldom buy items as I am gradually down sizing but the back room staff here are absolutely awesome. Always a pleasant experience dropping items off.”

“Awesome little look into a time that’s not ours. Ride on the car or take a family snap on the porch either way it’s a great back drop for a lovely photo”

“Awesome atmosphere. Kapahaka group from Taumarunui. Tranzit Bus Parking for Groups.”

“Very cute little playground. It has all the basics - swings, tunnel, slide, and even a cute grasshopper bouncy thing. It is a huge park to run and play games in and some nice trees to climb in the corner too. Doesn't have a public toilet.”
