The kitchen at The Local Te Rapa takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. Serve sizes show solid value. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Service stays present without fuss. Takeawa...

“I have been working with Kindy Kidz and Tweenz for nearly 2 years now and they've both been absolutely amazing. The teachers are so great at working with the children and teaching them so much about the world around them! The children I work with are some of the kindest, thoughtful and smartest children I know. I've been coaching them, and they've told me all about the matariki stars and named all the planets. Amazing!”

“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.”

“Nurture and Bloom is an absolute treat! Staff are always friendly and very accommodating. They are always understanding about personal circumstances and will go the extra mile for everyone. Would definitely recommend it to everyone”

“This is such a great little center. My kids love it, the staff are awesome with the kids. I couldn't ask for more”

“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.”
