“Central Kids Glenshea Kindergarten Putaruru has been fantastic for us. The staff have all been professional, warm and welcoming from the start and it is evident they work together like a well oiled machine. They provide the care and attention that the kindy age require and I can leave knowing our little one is in good hands. From what I have seen both in my own child and the children on the floor at pick up and drop off, every need is well and truely met. The facilities are great and the children participate in an array of fun activities to help create a solid foundation for school. Teachers provide periodic feedback on our child’s progress and make themselves available for discussion about any concerns we might have. 10/10 recommend for any parents looking to enrol their child here!”

“I went there yesterday for a couple of things I needed. I spoke to a couple of their staff, one at customer service, unfortunately I did not get his name, but he was super helpful. When he realised that what I was looking for is not availablr at that warehouse he gave me some options—places I could go to. Another staff helped me find what I was looking for. It was a good experience for me. They were nice and helpful.”

“Kidiwise is the best daycare around! Our friends in other areas are so jealous of what our son gets up too! It’s not about being the top looking with fake trees its about kids being kids, creating, building, exploring their own native bush weekly! Pony rides, hatching chickens and swimming in the spa! We can’t recommend kidiwise enough we love the imagination it lets our son have and the teachers who support him.”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful environment at BestStart. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting here—she’s building friendships, enjoying a wide variety of activities, and most importantly, feels a real sense of belonging. The teachers are warm, patient, and encouraging, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children. We can see every day how much our daughter enjoys coming to daycare, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is not only having fun but also learning important skills along the way. Thank you to the entire BestStart team for the love, effort, and positivity you bring—it truly makes such a difference. We couldn’t be prouder of child and more thankful for the supportive environment she’s surrounded by.”

“Lovely warm welcoming Kaiako and great learning experiences provided.for the tamariki”
