Children's entertainment center in Napier

“Very friendly and welcoming team who take great care of the little ones in their centre”

“Dee and the team, best people. Thank you so much for your patience with my daughter. So grateful”

“We recently moved to Napier and visited practically all the daycares/baby rooms across Napier and Taradale for our 19-month-old girl. Best Starts Napier came out on top by a mile. The centre has plenty of shaded outdoor space. The outdoor and indoor areas are well-decorated with lots of activities such as water play, wooden toys, and even animals (birds and guinea pigs) to keep the little ones entertained throughout the day. The staff are wonderful, warm, kind, and professional. They provide an individual learning journey and give weekly updates with pictures and often little stories through the Story Park app. We highly recommend the centre.”

“Mayfair Kindy has caring and competent teachers and a real community vibe to it. The learning environment at Mayfair is driven by the kids interests and no two days are alike. As a parent of Mayfair Kindy, off and on, for the last 14 years I cannot recommend Mayfair Kindergarten highly enough.”

“The best daycare so far. My 2 year old went to two other places before this one and even tho it’s more expensive. It’s worth the money. The staff are very good with the kids. Never had any issues. My child enjoyed the 2 year old room and when I moved place due to turning 3 she wanted to go back there. As far as supervision goes it was a 10/10 in her room. Not sure about the 3 -4 year old room as It’s alot bigger so from what I saw adult supervision wasn’t that good and alot more kids which is why we left but it’s like that everywhere- alot of kids. Great staff, very friendly and cater to your needs 10/10. Also never saw any badly behaved kids. They were all well behaved. Better than previous daycares.”

“Nothing but thanks and appreciation for these ladies and all they did for my little family. Great for babies and getting ready for big kid school. Miss them so much. Only changed as moved town, we had 3 happy years with them.”

“The Havelock North Family Centre is so warm & inviting. The staff are kind, full of energy & are a fun-loving bunch! Thank you for hosting the baby & parent group morning teas. The support you gave our group was invaluable… & kept us sane!”

“Both of my babies attend Busy Bees Hastings, and I couldn’t be happier with this place! My children go to school very happily and enjoy spending time with their lovely aunties and friends. At first, my youngest was very shy and not familiar with the culture since we are far from our home country. But she was never isolated, the teachers treated her just the same as every other child, with love and care. Now she has become so courageous and active, and it makes us so proud to see her confidence growing. Almost every day, my children bring home beautiful artworks and paintings, which they are excited to show us. I truly recommend Busy Bees Hastings 100% to anyone looking for a warm, supportive, and creative environment for their children”

“My daughter has thrived under the care and guidance of the kaiako and kaiawhina here at Little Wonders. She has been in since she was 11months and well prepaired to head off to school very soon. Can not recommend this center enough.”

“I worked at learning adventures for 5years! Its a home away from home with Hot delish kai every day. And amazing teachers!”

“The teachers here are so kind and genuinely care about the kids. They always keep us parents in the loop, which means a lot. Our son comes home smiling every day. The centre has all these little spots with fun things for the kids to explore, plus a big outdoor area where they can run around and burn off some energy. We’re really happy we found this place and would definitely recommend it to other parents.”
