Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“My second child went to Daisies and I love it. I chose Daisies as I'd always see the kids out an about in the neighbourhood. My son has been on trips to the pool, park, Mitre10 to buy plants for the garden, and even hiked up Mt Kaukau/Tarikaka several times. The kids are expected to take their cups and plates to the kitchen after every meal, and he's even learnt to put pen lids back on when he's finished. They encourage his interests and do well at teaching him how to play with others as well as prepping him for school. Thanks Daisies”

“Great environment, friendly staff, lots to play and learn with, very helpful and accomadating to first time parents/familys in general. Awesome place for a child to learn and grow.”

“Lovely centre - highly recommend to any parents looking at ece options!”

“Nice place for activities and rest. Friendly staff and members”

“A lovely Tawa kindergarten with very caring staff. Our little boy has really enjoyed himself and we've seen his personality develop richly while at Brian Webb. The kindergarten is very clean and the outdoor spaces has an adventures feel to it while also being relatively safe. A great choice”

“Have both my kids an awesome start in life and will never forget the glorious times they (and we) had. Thanks to all the staff over the years but especially Anna.”

“Really enjoyable, great for all levels. Excellent way to meet people.”

“Outstanding. My kids love it and so do I.”

“Absolutely loved our time at Millie's House on Hopper Street. Tasha is a fantastic manager and the team are the exact teachers you want for your children. Finding a centre you can trust is so important. The team truly partner with parents and give so much energy, kindness, laughter and comfort to all of the kids that are there. Highly recommend.”

“Our daughter asks to go to TK on the weekend. She loves it, and we love the people, the values and skills she's learning.”

“Lovely little daycare. Smaller and more intimate, but still large enough for my son to get plenty of exposure to different things. I feel fully comfortable leaving my son in their care. He started at 2 years old and loves it. They were amazing getting him started with a week integration and taking the time and care to make sure he was comfortable. Now he has gained so much confidence, he calls out his friends by name, is getting his colours and shapes and is developing such an amazing personality. They include me in regular updates, so I feel like I am still very much part of it all.”

“What a fantastic team you have in this store. I had the ultimate 5 star experience with Katie in the women's, lingerie department. Katie was helpful, kind and really pleasant to deal with. Thank You Katie! Jordan (always a customer service star ⭐️) and Yvette for also helping out. What a professional team! These guys obviously love their jobs.”

“Awesome Christmas market happening today - you should definitely come and check out all of the small local businesses!”

“We have had our daughter at Little School Nursery for four months. We are incredibly grateful for the teachers who are professional, nurturing and dedicated to providing the best educational experience in a warm, welcoming, well equipped environment.”

“We are thankful for TWT as they welcome our daughter with open arms. It is a great centre at the heart of the CBD. It is her 1st time to attend a DC but Puni, Pria, and the rest of the teachers helped her to settle with ease. They are all very friendly and caring.”

“Our family has had a really positive experience with Kindercare Tawa, my son has been coming here for 18 months since the age of 1. He has a great connection with all his kaiako, they have been excellent with scaffolding our sons learning and in all their communications with us. I trust that my son feels safe and loved in their care. Our family has been through some change lately with baby #2 on the way, and kindercare have made us feel extra supported in navigating the transition into maternity leave and to being a 2 child family. They have made sure that kindercare continues to be a safe and consistent space for my son. I have been super impressed with Kindercares support lately, I can feel how much they care about what is best for our family and our son. Thanks for everything, Kindercare! I'm excited to see how my son continues to grow and thrive under your care :)”

“Excellent early childhood centre; caring, passionate, intelligent teachers, with great food provided. A real sense of whanau.”

“Big thank you to everyone at Pikopiko and Krissy! You guys were great! I always felt like bubs was very safe there. They were always very loving with the tamariki and he learned so many great new things. Our bubs loved going! Again, thank you for a great first Kindy experience.”

“Fantastic, community spirited, learning environment for our tamariki. Awesome qualified teacher to child ratios which means I go to work and don't worry about my babies. It's small enough that our kids know the names of all the other kids and teachers there so they feel part of a larger family. Management are always available and always ask for parents to feedback on their ideas or plans. They are also really invested in PD for the staff so willing to keep learning and develop skills to support our tamariki.”

“Tobias also known as Tobey the guy who works in the garden section is always very helpful when I ask questions about plants and bulbs ,seeds . I find the prices and staff so much better than going to a normal garden center .”

“Someone warm to me yorguert poo.”

“Peninsula Early Learning has been such a supportive environment for both my daughter and our whānau. The kaiako are all incredible teachers and so kind. They always have the child’s interest at the forefront of decisions. The ratios are great and the weekly nature walk programme and quarterly trips exceeded my expectations. My daughter absolutely loves being able to explore the local beaches or community on these trips. We have loved being part of the preschool community and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful space for our tamariki.”

“Nice people looking after your kids.”

“We love it here at our local Playcentre. So many learning opportunities for our Littles and a lovely community feeling amongst the parents. Great outdoor areas, and a nice big space inside, and on the fully covered and enclosed deck area. We are so glad we joined.”

“Our daughter goes here. We feel that it's a very supportive environment with a high teacher to child ratio where each childs needs and interests are treated individually. The environment (inside and outside) are beautiful and natural. A large villa space converted, with soft colours and a wood fire. Outside has mature trees with shade, lots of birds and a good space to explore. Fully recommend this kindy for any child!”

“I saw about 8 early childhood centres before I found this one, and it was a clear winner. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of teachers - they have such positive attitudes, with a huge love for learning that they share with everyone around them (including me). They talk to children rather than at them. My 20 month old loves it there.”

“This place has accommodated my kids and I am grateful, staff are so kind and nice. The place is spacious and heaps of educational toys for kids, my kids had learned a lot in the school. Brooklyn Kids is now Busy Bee. They have some parking spaces and there are several stores around.”
