Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Louise and her team were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too hard and she was on top of everything, kids had an amazing time, such a fantastic space for them and when they sat down to eat she sent all the adults outside and she looked after them so we could sit and eat too, worth every penny! Biggest complaint is the kids didn't want to leave at the end!”

“Kiddywinkles has been the best decision we made when my little one was 10months old and just graduated from there at age 5 this year. Highly recommend this daycare if you're around westgate with lovely teachers, generous space for your little ones to explore, engaging activities each day. Thank you Kiddywinkles for being Kyra's best years ♥️”

“I am a speech and feeding therapist and have seen children at Red Beach ELC. I have been so impressed by the teachers and the environment. The children are happy and confident; the environment is calm and nurturing. The teachers went above and beyond to support my strategies, and made me feel so welcome. Their support helped my client make wonderful progress. I am so grateful to you all!”

“Both my grand children, 1 and 3 years old go to this daycare and they are in love with their teachers. The environment is very clean and pleasant. They provide great education with high values.Thanks”

“The teachers at Busy Minds are truly brilliant – they pay close attention to each and every child, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and understanding. As parents, we always felt supported and confident in the care our daughter was receiving. Over the past two years, we’ve watched her grow into a confident, happy little girl, and so much of that is thanks to the nurturing environment and wonderful team at Busy Minds. We’re truly grateful for everything they’ve done and highly recommend to any family looking for a caring and attentive early childhood centre.”

“We absolutely love HH! Both of my kids are flourishing in such a supportive and engaging environment. The staff are incredibly caring, and they make learning fun and exciting. I’m grateful for the strong foundation my children are receiving here!”

“The Teachers are all very caring and focus on each childs individual development and work with parents to achieve their aspirations for their children. It is a home away from home for my daughter and I can confidently drop my daughter off in the morning and know that she is well looked after. The centre and teachers are very good with communicating with the parents which is very important.”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have had our kids attend Kindercare Albany. From day one, we were welcomed into a nurturing and safe environment where every child is treated with genuine care and respect. After 8 years of experience with them, I have to say, they are AMAZING! We’ve seen our kids come home smiling, excited to tell us all about their day—and that means everything to us as parents. We’ve also seen the care and love the teachers show every single day - gently comforting upset children with long hugs, patiently explaining what’s right and helping them understand how to make good choices. It’s those small, quiet moments that show just how special this place truly is. The teachers and staffs really go above and beyond—not just to educate, but to make every day fun, engaging, and meaningful. They are exceptionally responsible and attentive, and it's clear they truly love what they do. The routines are well-structured, the communication with parents is excellent, and safety is always a top priority. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for creating such a special place, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful memories you’ve helped create.”

“My son has gone here since he was 1.5 and he’s now 4! There’s no one I trust more with my son and every staff member is so passionate about kids. The daycare is always well kept and I am always amazed with all the new things that they teach the children. Couldn’t have picked a better centre and I recommend it more to anyone.”

“Both of my daughters have attended Dreamers Nest, and I’ve been really impressed with the experience. My eldest was well prepared for school after her time there, and the transition was smooth. My younger daughter is currently enrolled and thriving. The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child’s development. Dreamers Nest creates a nurturing, engaging environment with the right mix of play, learning, and emotional support.”

“My son loves going to hand and hand every day! The teachers are kind, caring, and create a safe, fun environment. We’ve seen amazing progress in his language and social skills. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a warm and supportive place for their child.”

“I have had my two boys through Little Poppy's and they have had the best time there. They have a large outdoor area which is perfect for my busy boys. The teachers are very nurturing and always plan for exciting and fun experiences for the children. My children also rave about the meals, which as a parent, is comforting knowing that they are well fed. I highly recommend Little Poppy's Preschool to anyone wanting a homely, safe and fun environment for your precious little ones.”

“An excellent course to get you started with welding. Safety, key skills, and time to practice and apply the foundation skills of welding are all part of the course. Tim is patient, encouraging and thorough in his teaching.”

“An amazing environment for little ones to learn, play and interact with nature. The staff are lovely, attentive and so genuine. My son is in the Kea room and when I drop him off I have peace of mind that he is being loved and cared for just like he would be at home. Highly recommend Henderson Valley private kindergarten.”

“Beststart Oraha has been incredible care and education for my daughter for over 3 years. The teachers are caring, passionate and the centre feels like an extension of home and part of the community.”

“We transferred my son from a daycare center to Capital City Preschool and the difference has been amazing. At CCP, the teachers are welcoming and warm, and my son looks forward to going every day—sometimes he doesn’t even want to leave! I especially appreciate the 1:7 teacher-student ratio, the personalized updates on his interests and strengths, and the support for his emotional development. Since starting at CCP, his speech has improved significantly. They offer extracurricular activities (my son looks forward to Playball on Fridays!) and community excursions, also celebrates different cultures and events. It feels like a small, nurturing community. The best preschool! I'm so glad we transferred my son to CCP.”

“Such an amazing centre with the most kind and caring Kaiako who truely love, listen to and respect their children. A centre that truely values the families they care for and involve the parents and wider Whānau as much as possible. Plus, delicious and nutritious meals are cooked for the kids every day!”

“Our son started at Otari Montessori as a little boy and has just turned five, moving on to primary school. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to his learning journey. The Montessori philosophy, the incredible teachers, and the proximity to Otari Bush made for such a special experience. He had formative years filled with curiosity, independence, and a deep love for learning. We’re so grateful to the team for creating such a warm and inspiring environment!”

“My daughter has been going here since she was 6 months she is now 2 years old and she adores all the staff there. We cant express how much we love Te Atatu South Childcare, the amount of support they have shown us and helped in my daughters growth has been so amazing. We are super grateful for the love, kindness everyone has shown, I'm so happy we found this daycare i cant recommend them enough! Literally the best ever.”

“Pitter Patter is my child’s first daycare. I am so glad that the whole team worked together and made my child very comfortable when he joined. I always receive all the communications related to my son. The management is so nice and friendly and My boy loves to be there all the time.”

“My daughter loves her teachers and talks about them all the time at home. Best Start Glen Eden staff are friendly and caring, when Susie is sick her teachers always checks in. Her younger sister has also started and also feel she is in safe hands. Can’t thank best start Glen Eden enough!”

“My daughter and son in law booked Zero Latency for the whole family, we had an awesome time, was my first time experiencing VR and the special effects were amazing , such fun, will definitely be back.”

“Our daughter has had such a wonderful start at Sunbeams. The staff are all so friendly and caring and the space feels like home, which is exactly what we wanted from a kindy. Each day new, fun activities have been set out around the kindy for the children to explore, learn and play with. It's an inspiring, nurturing place that we are so happy to be a part of.”

“I am very happy with Merryland Childcare. My boy had a good experience there. He enjoyed the activities and made new friends. The teachers are very kind and helpful. They made him feel welcome and comfortable. The study environment was stimulating and fun. The childcare was also clean and safe. I would recommend Merryland Childcare to anyone looking for a quality childcare service.”

“Our son and daughter both love the staff and children at ROCC. The team create a fun nurturing safe environment for the kids to learn and explore. Love that the kids are encouraged to be active, use their imaginations and get messy. The staff and management team are extremely open, flexible and supportive. We often need to change days or increase or decrease due to our schedules and they team are always so accommodating.”

“We highly recommend Auckland DJ Services as a wedding DJ. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, organised, and easy to work with. The very first meeting with DJ Ray was amazing! He took the time to get to know us and our guests and was able to come up with great suggestions for the program (even though this was beyond the scope of his services). On the day, everything ran smoothly and stress-free thanks to DJ Bern. He arrived on time, was well organised, and everything ran smoothly throughout the night. He played a good range of music and did a nice job entertaining our guests. DJ Bern was happy to take song requests, including requests from the kids, which everyone appreciated. Overall, he did a solid job and helped create a fun atmosphere for our reception. If you’re looking for DJs who are reliable, professional, and know how to create a fun, memorable atmosphere, Auckland DJ Services is the perfect choice! We’re so glad we had them at our wedding and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning their big day!!”

“Have loved Kidz Kampus!! Had my daughter with them for almost 3 years and loved every second of it. Exceptional teachers and always felt like my daughter is in the best care! Highly recommend Kidz Kampus!”

“My friend recommended Daystar as their daughter was already attending and they only had positive things to say. This was the best decision my husband and myself made. We’ve tried two other daycares prior to Daystar and the difference is night and day. Daystar has the warmest and loveliest environment that you can ask for. The teachers are full of experience and are all very lovely with the little ones, whether it is ranging from growth and development or assisting with personal tasks (nappy training, nap times, medication etc) they are very supportive and communicative when it comes to doing what’s best for the little ones. We always felt safe leaving our boys in their hands. Both our boys, enjoyed their time greatly and have developed critical skills required for their next stage in schooling. The environment is clean, tidy and comfy with a garden like backyard for outdoor play and exploration. Daystar is also very culturally diverse and reflective of New Zealand culture, providing a wide variety of experiences to different cultural events and learning about their celebrations. Our youngest son will be graduating soon and we will surely miss our time here at the Daystar family as we could always count on the consistent excellent support throughout the years. We highly recommend Daystar if you are looking for quality childcare.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little Dinosaurs. The owner and teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves going there, so we have just added an extra day for her to attend. Communication with parents is excellent too, and activities are thoughtful and engaging. Highly recommend to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and fun place for their little one.”

“I, Krishan, assert with confidence that Adventureland stands as the optimal choice in the locality for nursery education. The staff exhibits excellence, comprising highly qualified and experienced teachers. Aman, the head of Adventureland, demonstrates exceptional support and understanding towards individuals and their circumstances, as well as the developmental levels of children. Witnessing significant improvement in my child within a brief duration, culminating in a heartwarming graduation ceremony and birthday celebration last week, I extend heartfelt gratitude to Aman, Carla, Maria, Ruwini, and all staff members. I wholeheartedly recommend Adventureland Early Childhood center to all.”
