Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Hats off to an employee, Harper completely!! My friend and I came down for a weekend and basically spent both evenings here purely because Harper made our time there unforgettable!!!!! She made sure our drinks were amazing, food was delicious, our golf games hilarious and the arcade games working! (We had a couple not work on us lol) I really thank Harper for her hospitality towards us and cannot hope and pray enough that she's there next time we're down here. To future patrons of this location, trust Harper there”

“Beautiful cinema with Cafe and bar. Comfy and spacious seating with large arm rests and drinks holder. Good quality sound and image on a medium sized screen.”

“Gemma is an absolute gem (pun intended). Not many people would be so enthusiastic about hosting a bunch of seven-year-olds but she absolutely nailed it. Thanks for making my son’s birthday super special, us parents were already over it and she stepped up big time. All of your staff deserve a pay rise, bunch of legends”

“Such an incredible find, great price of bouncy castles, the toddlers loved it! Only form of entertainment really needed for the party. Such easy hand over for hire and will absolutely return for the party next year!”

“We had coffee/tea and cake in the lounge, and it was superb. A very nice place to sit in the sun and enjoy life and some history. The staff were fantastic and passionate. Thanks!”

“Fantastic experience, fantastic cafe will be returning”

“Amazing gardens. The rose garden is particularly​ beautiful.”

“I have learned from Reuben for approximately 15 years. Himself & the teaching team at Salsa Latina have always been kind, welcoming & make you feel at home. Level of teaching is great, always leave class feeling like you have accomplished what was taught & plenty of opportunity is given to practice what is being taught. A great variety of classes/styles are on offer. Can not recommend Salsa Latina enough. You are literally learning from one of the best ☺️”

“Can’t thank enough this awesome Kindy. They have great and kind teachers. They’re focused and dedicated to the child’s development. Lots of fun activities that kids would surely enjoy. We’ll miss the school and staffs as my child will move to primary school. Cheers! ❤️ -Karen”

“Lovely gardens and shop easy walk and very peaceful”

“Beststart has some of the most calming and easy to communicate stuff members. Their goals of early childhood education is clear and direct and easy to follow along with, especially for the growth of your children.I would recommend highly to anyone who needs a pre-school/Daycare. One thing I struggled with was money but Best Start offers affordable daycare. Very thankful to have them so close to home ♡”

“Comfortable seats in the theatre, saw an awesome musical here. Great show.”

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“We really enjoyed our time here. The fully fenced and secured play area is perfect for younger children, and the other areas have so much to explore. Our little one really enjoyed the water plays, and we ended spending more time than planned.”

“Amazing park. Actually I think it’s the best. Whoever Jim was he’s solid. Thank you! Thanks to the cleaners or boys keeping that park in mint condition there too doing a great job. Son was so happy.”

“One of the best playground , much better than playgrounds in Auckland . Well maintained too”

“A genuine pleasure to join them for their Christmas extravaganza! Kind words don’t do their hospitality and friendship justice, and I’m so happy I could help put on a great show for the kids. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Haven't been. Hear great things about the place.thank you”

“What a great place to mingle and meet new people when your not in a good head space.”

“Highly Recommend! Amazing ECE Centre!! Kids Cave is a wonderfully caring, family-owned centre that cares deeply about the children they look after and their families. I would recommend this centre in a heartbeat to anyone who values a positive environment where the children are given enriching play that is tailored to the children's needs and interests. Thoughtful play is provided for the children to help with the different stages of learning that they need. The centre owners are hands-on and take a genuine interest in each child's development and happiness. I am happy leaving my child in their care as I know they will be looked after. They have put their heart and soul into this centre, which shows through in their leadership of the teams. The centre manager helps create a happy, positive environment for the children and parents and takes any concerns we have and addresses them promptly from her wealth of knowledge and expertise. My child adores her teachers here and runs to give them a cuddle when she enters each morning. The teachers obviously have a great working relationship with one another, which filters down to the care they are able to collectively give to the children. Learning stories are written with lots of photos included that showcase the learning through play the children have been participating in, and have thought-out goals for the children with actions on how to achieve these goals for my child. Te Whaaraki, the New Zealand Curriculum for ECE children, can be seen in action through the planning and learning opportunities the teachers provide. Kids Cave provides all the food for the children, which is prepared and cooked onsite. My child loves the meals she has here, which are nutritionally balanced to meet her growing body needs. I give Kids Cave, Hamilton, a full 5 star review and highly recommend them to my family and friends. They are a centre who goes above and beyond looking after the children in their care.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The staff are lovely and so attentive and caring. They keep on regular communication if there are any issues and will actively work with you for your little ones individual learning needs. They have made the transition to daycare and back to work so easy for me and my boy. Highly recommend them!”

“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”

“Good experience - Reception lady was nice and helpful, We did the dairy room, had a great time - good interaction level.”
