Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“I highly recommend this centre - you know for sure your child is safe here, the multicultural environment is perfect for our little learners, the staff are always so welcoming and respectful. I appreciate this place and the staff so much for always providing a safe space and fun learning environment for my child.”

“both my kids have been through this centre. Both the staff and the management are incredible. I highly recommend you put your name down asap as the weight list is understandably long which is a credit to the centre. My girls loved it, they are very supportive and family orientate and inclusive. Couldn't rate it higher.”

“Barnardos Manurewa is an incredible daycare. The teachers are loving, welcoming and always having the children's educational needs front of mind. They have a very clean facility and maintain a high standard of safety for the children too. Best daycare in South Auckland for sure!”

“Great centre with experienced teachers. Children are provided an inclusive environment for their holistic development. Highly recommend.”

“It was a awesome daycare for my daughter when she was 2 and a half years old”

“We couldn't be happier! Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves going every day — she comes home smiling, singing songs she’s learned, and telling us about all her little adventures. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where every child feels safe and valued. We've seen so much growth in her confidence, communication, and creativity since she started. The activities are thoughtfully planned, balancing play, learning, and social development beautifully. It's such a wonderful feeling as a parent to know that your child is genuinely happy, loved, and thriving. We are so grateful to the amazing team and highly recommend them to any family looking for a place where their little one will be truly cared for.”

“Kids really enjoyed themselves. A little small for the amount of people that go there. Right opposite the beach.”

“My daughter has been going to Childspace for two years and we have been so happy with it. The teachers are amazing, nurturing and so friendly. Our daughter often comes home wanting to show or teach us something that she learnt at Childspace that day and it gives us the confidence that she is going to be well prepared for starting school next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Childspace to anyone looking for quality daycare.”

“I'm very happy shopping this store. They are very nice and good price. I always come here to buy something. Thanks so much about everything!”

“Parakai Kindergarten is a place where you child feels safe, seen and gently encouraged to build their confidence. My son had spent the last 3 years there before turning five and moving to school. Even though he’s moving to school, and his teacher is going to be his mum he still wanted to stay at kindy where “he was so happy”. I feel that the teachers deep love and respect for their tamariki is illustrated in my son’s statement as he was so sad to leave his favourite place. Kindy isn’t just a space place for the children but a space for the whole family to be connected to the thriving community and culture that envelopes Parakai Kindergarten. As a mother and a teacher I could not recommend Parakai Kindy enough and only wish I had sent my older son there too.”

“Awesome place good atmosphere teachers are awesome too a lot Patience with our tamariki”

“A beautiful nature based kindergarten!”

“Highly recommended. You guys are the best!”

“All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Massive thanks especially to Tori who went above and beyond to help us.”

“Love love love this centre. My son's been going since he was 7months old and he's now nearly 3 years old. Massey childcare has the most lovely and welcoming teachers. All are so fun and they genuinely care about the whole family not just the child attending. Hiiighly highly recommend and fees are super reasonable too! ☺️”

“Coatesville Lollipops is an outstanding daycare. My son has been attending since he was 1.5 years old, and we've loved every moment. We chose this daycare for its wonderful country vibe and the strong, caring relationships the teachers have with the children. My son is always excited to go, and he’s constantly discovering new things. He especially enjoys the activities like baking, gardening, messy play, and arts and crafts.”

“Both my boys have absolutely thrived at Busy Bees. The teachers are extremely kind, the kids have such a great bond with them all! I would absolutely recommend this centre to anyone looking!”

“This one gave me a very clean and warm impression. The teachers who take care of the children are very responsible! There are a lot of toys for the children. It is very clean and spacious. It is not like some old kindergartens that get dirty after a long time. In short, the children are happy and I feel relieved. I recommend it~~”

“Love Jojo’s, the teachers are all so fantastic. My son is very happy here”

“My daughter is really happy here, and we’ve had such a great experience. The teachers are caring, creative, and passionate—you can tell they truly love what they do. The space is big and welcoming, with plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The facilities are great too. Definitely recommend!”

“The team has been nothing but welcoming to my son and I. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving him with people he didn't know, but they are so warm and caring that my son took a liking to the teachers very quickly and that put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Aspirations!”

“Had one of the best sales experience with the store manager Shawn. Absolute legend sorted us out for our new place. Rest of the team were great. Thanks team!!”

“Such an amazing learn to swim program. Our two daughters are part of the learn to swim and have a wonderful time learning and growing in the water with there two teachers Laura and Kristina. Anya does an amazing job setting up the learn to swim program and leading it I couldn’t recommend enough. The Indoor Pool Facility runs at a perfect air conditioned temperature and the pools are clean and comfortable for everyone! As a Swim Coach myself the team here does an incredible job! Lifeguards included as well!”

“Great little shop and the one charity shop in the area that actually prices everything fairly. Friendly staff. Wish the opening hours were a bit longer. Keep up the good work.”

“Came back to West wave gym after fifteen years away doing other sports, fortunately for me I met a personal trainer by the name of Noah there who was able to give me some solid direction and guidance. Noah’s vast knowledge and his passion for all things health and fitness has been an integral part of my strength, cardio and mobility development. Very Grateful to all the staff at West wave but most of all my friend Noah! Simon Lane”

“Highly recommend DBK, the staff are warm, welcoming and take great care of the kids. The outside space is large with plenty of play equipment, perfect for kids who love being outdoors like mine. The staff have been so helpful with my Autistic sons extra needs and making referrals for supports for him.”

“My little toddler absolutely loves coming to Little Ranges daycare! She is THRIVING under their care. The attention and genuine love they give her everyday has transformed our little 1 year old and we are so so grateful we found them! A bit of a back story is we moved her from another daycare (one of the most well known ones in Henderson Heights) because I noticed she’s just not as happy as she used to be, it just wasn’t the right fit. So I was sooo pleased that ever since she started going to Little Ranges she has FLOURISHED! Love the team at little ranges thank you for loving our girl! If you are looking for a team who will truly be your partner in raising your child, look no further than Little ranges :) 10 star all the way!!”

“My son adores it here. The teachers are so loving, interested, playful and kind. I feel so lucky to be part of the Rutherford preschool community. I don’t know of many parents who rave about their daycare, but the parents at Rutherford do. Only downside is the hours.”

“We visited Magic Loft Avondale with our two boys and had such a good time. The staff were warm and genuinely welcoming. My kids were busy, happy and safe in the playground while I relaxed in the café area, still able to keep an eye on them. The space was set up well for families, fun for the kids, comfortable for adults. We’ll definitely go back.”
