Educational organization in Hamilton

“At first we are hesistant to send our kids to daycare unsure for their health, safety and emotional needs to be taken care of. When we learn about Pukeko Treehouse through our friends, we were convinced to give it a try and the rest is history. I can vouch on their integrity as clean, hands-on, supportive, accountable, and have a tender loving care to every kids under their care. Personally, I highly recommend Pukeko Treehouse daycare.”

“Definitely a great place for your children! My twins have absolutely loved their time here, the outside area is so large for the kids who love being outdoors, inside is set up with different things each day which my girls love. They have built amazing friendships here and the teachers are incredible and so so easy to get along with! 100% recommend to others!”

“Bunnies currently serves as both my workplace and education provider for my son. When I went for my first visit 2 years ago, I was impressed by the size of the learning environment and the welcoming atmosphere. But I knew I wanted to stay after talking with the people there. The staff are friendly, they listen and are supportive of every child and family that walk through their door. It is a place that inspires me everyday as a teacher. I love that I can watch my son grow and develop before my eyes, guided by incredible teachers who have taken the time to know him. Bunnies is a place you've got to see for yourself, to truly appreciate everything that makes it special.”

“Stu gives great personalised guitar lessons. He is an expert, very talented and pleasant teacher.... Would dare to say one of the best in the country. Highly recommended”

“Thank you so much Rachna for this moment of awakening with the Shirodhara treatment. Incredible moment and special feeling. You are such a great person, gentle and very helpful. I will come back for sure if I'm coming back in NZ Best regards from French Polynesia Wish you the best Margaux”

“My son has absolutely thrived since coming to Ace swim school. The instructors really care about the children’s progress and treat each child as an individual. The small group sizes make a huge difference, and it’s quieter compared to the bigger swimming complexes which has helped my son focus. I highly recommend this place!”

“Bright Beginnings Early Learning Centre - Hamilton is like a second home to my 2 little girls. They are very supportive of the children’s early learning and individual development. The rooms are spacious, warm and cozy and provide different kinds of resources for the children to explore. My girls are always excited to go to kindy every morning. Since I have also recently become part of this centre, it’s good to know and see for myself how things work in the centre and how very passionate the staff are in looking after every child like they are family. As a parent, it gives me the peace of mind that my children are in good hands and are well taken cared of. Definitely made the right decision to enroll our children here.”

“Em's yoga classes are medicine for my mind, body and spirit! She has such an incredible gift in her teaching, and knows how to exactly tap in to where you are to offer rest, renewal and a space to recharge. I find my intuition unlocks even deeper after doing a class and find myself receiving guidance which is so supportive for where I am and what I've been journeying with. I love how her approach is trauma-informed, and that she can balance playfulness and mastery when she teaches. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ”

“Shard's yoga classes and are not like anything else currently available on the yoga scene. Not for masses, this is personal, detailed, and curated just for you. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful in all her sequencing as well as a playful and intuitive teacher, each session is a little work of art and breath.”

“A lovely centre with kind teachers and admin staff. Yummy menu for the children too. Lots of resources for little minds to develop and thrive. Nice outdoor area too. Thanks for taking care of my child.”

“6 Years ago our oldest daughter now 8 started with Central Kids in Huntly, a year and a half later her little sister joined and in 2024 at 2 years old our son joined them. For 6years our children have have had the greatest teachers and learning experiences. They truly deserve 10 stars. Thank you Central Kids!”

“My brother Matthew did two terms of swimming lessons at Dolphinz. The teachers are kind and patient. Matthew is now a confident swimmer, capable of swimming in a pool that is way over his head. Heartfelt appreciation to all his teachers.”

“My daughter went there, and she says that it’s the best piano class she’s gone to so far. The piano teacher is super nice and will literally teach you anything if you ask him. He is also super talented, for example- my daughter asked him to teach her a song in a easier way, and the next thing I knew she was playing one of her favourite Japanese songs. She is very lucky to have such a talented musician.”

“This place has the best wairua!!! If you want to study here and want to be included in everything, come here! Nau mai haere mai...”

“Very welcoming. Boy and my baby girl love it here. Awesome people, kids settled in easy family like environment and staff very helpful. thanks heaps.”

“Learning Links is a second family to us. My son attended 3 years ago and now my daughter. All of the staff are amazing, and they work together with you to nurture your child's development plus they provide healthy delicious meals! I truly couldn't ask for a better day care.”

“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..”

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent facilities and hospitality.”

“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.”

“Im sorry my 1st review was the wrong SC. Huge shout-out to the wonderful ladies (I wish I got the names), from reception (young pregnant lady) preparation nurse (bluish hair, I think Sandy ) discharge nurse (I hope Suzanne) my apologises if wrong, your mannerism, very polite, caring and especially understanding. Johns surgeon, amazing, spoke easy, clear and words we understood. Yous all made our visit so comfortable as we didn't feel uncomfortable once. Thank yous all for the amazing service, and we a very very much appreciated. God Bless.”

“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”

“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 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.”

“Close view of flight for visitors, landing and take of small planes and helicopters, a nice experience for the kids …!”

“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”
