Children's entertainment space in Hamilton

“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 don't have children here but have been a close neighbour since 1999. It has always been busy, with frequent improvements and the people attending have been friendly. I've posted a more recent photo to show how the mural has brightened up the place.”

“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 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”

“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.”

“Had a 21st birthday party at this hall and was absolutely greatful for their service. Awesome to plan with, awesome to chat too and appriciate the all night good times. Thank you so much! Will definately be booking in again ❤️”

“Stayed there the night lovely old school peaceful place the manager went above and beyond to look after me especially since I arrived at like 1 am lovely service”

“Perfect little playground with a great view”

“Had my daughter's birthday here. Staff are lovely, food is delicious, everyone had an amazing time.”

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

“My daughter has been at HOW Busy Bees Lakewood in Cambridge for the past 2.5 years. She absolutely loves it. So much messy play and the outside areas are so much fun. She runs to her room full speed every morning. Can’t speak highly enough of the staff! Also the food looks and smells amazing with a great variety. We will definitely be sending our son when his daycare journey starts.”

“Absolutely one of the bests my kids have been to. Love the care and attention they give to each and every child.”

“My family arranged my birthday at The Verandah Cafre and Function Centre. The service, the team and the atmosphere is 5-star! Shout out to Scott, the Event Manager and the rest of the staff members who did a wonderful service in looking after our needs. If there's something that needs to be improved, it will be the food portions on the catering. But truly and overall, we have a memorable experience that lasts a lifetime! We also use them as a function room with catering for our church group activities. Keep up the incredible awesome work The Verandah Cafe Team! Blessings and regards.”

“An excellent part of the afternoon spent with our grandchild. Basic playground which was perfect.”

“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.”

“We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care that we get here for our son. He has been there now for over a year and across two of the rooms at the centre (Koru and Tawa). He was at another centre previously and would have an absolute melt down every time he was dropped off. We just thought it was normal, until we started at The Park! I now hardly even get a good bye when dropping him off! All the Kaiako at the centre have been great to deal with. They know his quirks, and greet us by name every time we come in. Special dietary needs (as he was dairy intolerant) are all catered for, and they work to make sure there is good variety and monitor their actual eating, even for this fussy fella! There are activities nearly every day that help develop his motor skills, but also life skills! At just over 2 years-old now, his new favourite activity is to ‘I Cook’ and set up at the kitchen counter every dinner time to help get the family meals sorted. They also have access to a local play ground and large greens behind the facility (hence The Park) that they regularly go on excursions with the kids out in their Centre Sun Hats, and always provide notifications via the facilities app when they are heading out, a much appreciated update. We get some of the most amazing stories about his daily adventures through the app, and my family overseas are all signed up so they can stay up to date with how he is developing. So in summary, their waiting list to get in speaks volumes to the service they provide. Thank you to all of staff that that help care for him every day!”

“My kid really like it. it’s small but cute”

“Our son loves going to daycare, he has been going Rototuna Early Education since 14 months old and is now nearly 3. Staff are nice and friendly and the centre has a great outdoor area for the kids to play in.”

“Montessori School House has great, friendly and dedicated staff, who have a true passion for what they do and it comes across in the way the staff care and educate the children in their care. The center is set up well to provide the perfect environment to enable the children to learn and develop to their best potential.”
