Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“My son has been going to Petone Kindergarten for almost a month now and we are both loving it! The teachers are so warm, welcoming and caring. When I drop him off in the morning I’m always impressed with the amazing set ups and the sense of calmness. Thank you all so much for taking such amazing care of my son!”

“Awesome place to go with your little ones. Playcentre has great indoor and outdoor space where kids can do everything what you can imagine. Also it's amazing to be part of the parent's group - everyone are so nice and supportive. Our favourite part is Friday's bush sessions ❤”

“FANTASTIC COMMUNITY SPIRIT AT THIS CENTRE. MY MOKO LOVED IT HERE”

“Thank You for all the Hard work that you guys are doing to keep the centre Clean Tidy After use. Learning Skills and Ideas for Kids are Superb.”

“⭐ Excellent Service at Kmart! I went to Kmart to exchange an item but had lost my receipt. Chinnu was incredibly helpful — she went the extra mile to find my transaction even though I had the wrong date. Her patience and dedication made the whole process so easy. Super service — thank you, Chinnu!”

“Great place to buy all your stuff from groceries, clothing. Homewares, toys even printing as warehouse stationary is inside”

“Good open late so always go shopping here after work”

“Had a kids party here. Easy to arrange, and the kids loved it. Food and service was good and the play area was great. Only negative would be how cramped the seating area is”

“Possibly the best daycare in the Lower Hutt region. Kids are looked after really well. Not like other "factory" daycares.”

“The best centre we've ever come across. There's never a doubt in our mind about the care our child is receiving. The staff are excellent, outdoor facilities are amazing, and smaller ratios. Very grateful to have found a spot here.”

“This is an amazing centre! Highly recommend! So much care and patience. Like all other centres that are busy and filled with tamariki, it was such a great and smooth transition for my God daughter. Thanks team! God Bless x”

“We absolutely love Millie’s House. We had to change daycare centres since our last one was suspended by the MOE. After such an unpleasant experience it was wonderful to find a place here. The teachers are so kind and helpful. Paula, the manager is the best! So knowledgeable and caring. The children are so well looked after and they are very big on hand hygiene here. My son rarely comes home sick anymore. We are only leaving due to relocation to the South Island. Thanks for everything Millie’s House!”

“Both my sons are at Lollipops Waiwhetu. The teachers show genuine care and interest in the learning and lives of the children. There is a real community feel within the centre. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing centre, such a lovely atmosphere for children!”

“Our tamariki and whānau feel at home at our centre. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable and our tamariki can't wait to go to kura!”

“A really good playground for children with a lot of field space too. There is an accessible tennis court for all. Entrance to this area is down the concrete drive”

“My daughter is absolutely thriving at Grow and Learn ELC. We shifted from a bigger centre due to things I could no longer ignore. I was hesitant about enrolling her somewhere else but they were all so welcoming and I loved the vibe in the atmosphere. Kaiako, staff and the Owners are so supportive and loving, they really cherish the tamariki they care for and it shows in their learning environments. There’s such a strong sense of whanau and community and this is what I had been looking for, for my girl I knew this was the environment she needed. You would never know my daughter has only been here a few months she fits right in and has made so many awesome friendships with other tamariki and close relationships with her kaiako. I’m just so thankful I decided to move her here, I can see how much happier she is and how much she’s progressed within herself and her learning and development.”

“Whitireia Child Care is an awesome centre, the children are free to be themselves. The kaimahi are always communicating with us via Storypark which has instant notification. My girl loves it and so do we as a whānau.”

“og as kindergarten i went here its the best. its the place next to it that screwed my life over.”

“Excellent place for kids to start their journey in education. Great staff and an outstanding manager. If you like order, tidiness and warm attention, this is the place for your kids. Sadly, my son stopped attending because he turned 3 and had to find another place for himself. Probably I'm wishing they get the permit to work with older kids in the future.”

“loved it here, all the teachers are just amazing and lovely. Awesome exposure to Te Reo and independence is incaraged so confidence is found. Awesome work katoa.”

“By far the best centre in Porirua , both my children have been very happy to go Kindercare and the staff and management will always go the extra mile to cater to your child’s needs. Friendly , warm and welcoming centre.”

“Barnardos Porirua is a beautiful centre. They have a welcoming atmosphere where staff genuinely care for the children striving to assist them in acquiring new skills, nurturing, encouraging and supportive of their learning; providing nutritious meals daily. My Daughter has been at Barnardos a few months and loves it. I highly recommend this centre to others.”

“Just want to say thank you so much to the young girl on security this afternoon around 5pm. She was super helpful, i had my baby as well as a full trolley and some chairs and other items to carry to my ute. She willingly helped me without having to be asked and did it all with a smile on her face. Big ups to her, 10/10 customer service.”
