Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Staff are so welcoming and friendly with every child. They are very well experienced too especially with calming my daughter down too. She loves going and has already learnt so much”

“We moved to this kindy to be closer to school - and have been blown away by the amazing teachers and how they nurture, teach and encourage all of the children. There is something really special about this kindy. There are plenty of trees for natural shade, and there is so much to explore outside. It is currently being renovated so the indoor space is going to be new and improved when it reopens next year!”

“I can’t recommend Moana enough! I call her the baby whisperer as my son warmed to her instantly and just adores her. She has very low ratios in her care so your child gets undivided attention for the majority of their time with her. She goes above and beyond for your whanau and uses a lot of Te reo Māori in conversation with your little one which is amazing if that’s something you’re wanting. Moana is fantastic at caring, entertaining and looking after children as she is patient and kind but most importantly it’s her passion! Your child will feel super comfortable in her presence and in a home based setting. I wouldn’t trust anyone more than I trust Moana to look after my child. 10/10 Moana you’re a rockstar!”

“Good clean park . Good children's play. Sport there clean toilets”

“Kidsfirst Hawthornden is a wonder Kindergarten. It has a large outdoor area with a mix of modern and traditional play equipment for the children. The community at the kindergarten is strong, with many activities throughout the year which help bring whanau into the Centre and builds connection. My two children have both enjoyed their time at Hawthornden and I feel very happy to leave them their under the kind and capable care of the teachers. Highly recommend.”

“Has to be one of the best child care centres I've ever been to. The staff are always friendly and inviting and always happy to talk to. I never have to worry that something is wrong when picking up my child”

“This is a truly lovely place for kids to learn and grow. Teachers are kind and friendly. My kids love Kindergartens Hornby.”

“I love the whole whānau connections that are made - parents support each other to play and learn with their tamariki. We made friendships and connections that extend into the wider community and have lasted for years”

“This place has the most wonderful staff here. I would definitely recommend it. Our autistic children have been coming here for over 4 years. So many different groups are here too. They have a climbing wall and a music studio.”

“Best kindy around. Super staff and very happy kids. We have one girl there and one excited to start shortly.”

“When I moved from afternoon to morning kindergarten, the kindergarten also moved from Pleasant Point to its new home in Bridge Street. So I was a first-day pupil at this establishment. I am guessing it must have been January 1957.”

“I love this place. They're always so kind and friendly when i drop my son off in the mornings and let me know how his day has gone when I pick him up. This place is more than capable of handling his boisterous personality and i know when i leave him there he is well taken care of and safe!!!!”

“Amazing team. In store a couple weeks ago and they were such a friendly team and extremely helpful. Would recommend. :)”

“The education and care for our two children are Kindercare Bishopdale has been outstanding. They have both felt loved, secure, safe and have learned so much across the board. All teachers and staff are incredibly friendly and have always been strong on communication and creating relationships with not just the children, but us as parents as well. Nutritious hot meals are a great bonus (how lucky are the kids getting fresh fruit crumble out of the oven?!)”

“Amazing, purpose built little preschool with caring and lovely teachers. Always clean and smells of delicious fresh baking in the morning! Our daughter loves going and settled in from another preschool very well. We are always kept up to date with her learning and development in the classroom. We highly recommend Discovery Junction!”

“Outstanding kindy. Skilled teachers who genuinely care. They have been amazing for my three kids”

“Cam and her team at Kidsfirst Kindy go above and beyond for the families and children they look after. They are all so welcoming it feels like one big family ⭐️”

“BestStart Barrington is absolutely amazing! Our daughter loves it there. The team is so kind, caring and attentitive. Best choice we made as parents, was to enrol our daughter at BestStart Barrington! Love the work you do guys! Keep up your loving ways!”

“Amazing preschool, wonderful teachers who go above and beyond for the kids and parents. Very welcoming. Teachers invest a lot of one on one time with the kids which helps with their bonding and their learning”

“Teachers and staff are very friendly and accomodating. They take sickness with the kids seriously, which is important given we’re in a pandemic.”

“Fantastic kindergarten! Our boy loved his time here and our daughter is currently. Lovely teachers and environment :)”

“We love the Halswell Learning Tree. Our four year old goes there and always comes home with a big smile on his face. They do all sorts of different things, he is always bringing different goodies home to show us. Highly recommend. Such a great family feel, with real homely experiences, gardening and baking etc.”

“Fantastic kindy! Our son has been going here since he was two and he absolutely loves it. The facilities are great, especially the huge and adventurous outdoor areas. The teachers are wonderful and we can’t fault it on any level.”
