“One of the best daycare. My daughter is very happy and comfortable.Thanks to Katthy and team❤️❤️”

“A happy place for our younger daughter. This is just home for her, a day filled with lots of activities to enjoy.She has been learning a lot of new words. Teachers have been excellent, they are quiet playful and deal with a lot of patience. I would highly recommend this daycare, anyone who is looking for a safe,secure & happy place for their child..My elder daughter has also been to this daycare. Dinkar & Gargi”

“We don’t have family in New Zealand so our family is now the teachers at KidsCo. We are so thankful and grateful for the love and care we receive. Both our kids love going and we love seeing them grow up together!”

“Our boy loved going to Our Kids. The teachers are welcoming and supportive, and want the very best for your kids. Lots of special connections made at this community spot.”

“We get the Best Care for my Little toddler , the teachers are very professional and innovative. They have a very nice setup and facilities. I strongly recommend super kids. My baby couldn’t be happier any where else.”

“Friendly and professional environment . My son is happy to go and I can find peace of mind while working .”

“Our Little One is thriving and the teachers are amazing. They genuinely care and are so loving and warm.”

“My daughter attended Our Kids Glendene from 10 months old until starting school. The level of care she received was consistently excellent. The team clearly care deeply for the children at this centre, and have been easy to communicate with at all times. My daughter has been well supported in her emotional and social development and the team have established a strong foundation for her learning journey. She has happily started school as a confident and well-rounded girl, which is in large part thanks to the team at Our Kids Glendene.”

“Very impressed by the variety of activities that keep 'little one' entertained and learning by fantastic, caring staff. Great outdoor area for exploring. Highly recommend”

“A great wee daycare. All the staff are lovely and our son is really happy here.”

“Since the current owner Roly took over, this place is way better. I feel my child is looked after well, more closer care. She has lots of knowledge, explains well with questions. Therefore this helps me well to plan of child development. I’d recommend here especially if you have first child.”

“Lovely and caring staff. Went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended.”

“My son loves going to Active Explorer Central Park! Educators are very kind and caring, regular updates with photos and daily updates on children's activity book have built my confidence in this centre and trust pretty quickly. My son asks me every day to take him there, he has so much fun! He surprises me with new social skills every time and has made lovely bunch of little friends that make a party every time they see him come. When I drop him off he doesn't even want to waive good bye and when I pick him he wants to stay around!”

“Thanks Sunshine for my son to be his first pre-school”

“My son is flourishing in the beautiful, warm and caring environment created by the most amazing, thoughtful and experienced teachers. Brooklyn Kindy is truly part of the community and my 7 year old daughter loves going back to visit.”

“Both my tamariki attend NELC and love it. The kaiako are caring and supportive — they know the kids well and create a fun, safe space to learn and grow. NELC is community-run, which means whānau have a real voice in how things work. It creates a strong sense of belonging and connection — we’re not just part of a centre, we’re part of a community. We get regular updates and photos, and it’s great seeing our tamariki thrive. Big thanks to the NELC whānau!”

“KinderCare Kilbirnie has been the best daycare for my precious little first born. I was so nervous about finding the right place for my little boy who was 20 months when he joined KinderCare. I will always be grateful to them for offering me a place when they did. I was blown away by how friendly, caring and attentive everyone is. From Shelly at reception to Varsha who makes all the nutritious food to all the teachers - they know all the children’s and parents’ names even though they are quite a big centre, and we always get a warm welcome every morning. The teachers, especially Oliver, Ella and Abbie who my son talks about daily, were so great at helping my little boy (and me!) settle into daycare. I can see the teachers genuinely care about all the kids and are really good at responding to the individual needs and concerns for each child, including how their naps are going and even toilet training. There is a huge outdoor space for the kids to run around as well as focused activities indoors. They are really great at organising events for parents and grandparents too and really nurture family values and respecting all the different cultures. When new ECE policies come in, they do all the heavy lifting for us. I would really recommend KinderCare Kilbirnie for the care, support and attention they provide families (not just the child).”

“They are very warm and took the time to understand our son.”

“Our son spent 3 years at Childhood Concepts Upper Hutt. He loved his time there. The teachers are wonderful, kind and caring. We highly recommend this daycare!”

“I went here when i was younger i loved it here amazing staff especially that Emma girl. Sad she left kristys nice aswell”

“Great place for children and parents, coffee shop on site, toilets and adequate parking, It is a very nice facility in the heart of Petone handy to public transport and close to the main CBD of Petone, I highly recommend this facility as a very good safe place for children to play, well fenced with a safety gate, well earned 5 stars”

“We love Shine! Teachers are loving and nurturing. Such a great place that offers structured play based learning which made our transition into school so seamless. Highly recommend.”

“Fantastic place to send your little ones to”

“My daughter loves it here. She is always happy and she made good friends as well. I really love the community and the teachers are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Our child has been at Cotswold Kidsfirst for just over a year and it's been so great for his development. The teaching staff are experienced professionals who know how to bring the best out of your child. Every day he looks forward to going to kindy. I would recommend kindy to any family considering it, it's such an amazing environment for tamariki.”

“Such a fun centre for my child she has thrived, they support her emotionally and socially and always have super fun learning experiences out for the children to engage with!”

“Our two children went here, and although we knew they would be there for only few weeks due to my partner’s work - the relationship they’ve built with teachers and the way they felt so comfortable to be themselves in such a short period is AMAZING. All teachers are absolutely amazing, very warm yet professional. It does confirm that quality beats quantity. Thank you, dear teachers and dear tamariki, for sharing this moment in time with us! ❤️ Thanks to those personalised books we’ll remind kids about this incredible time of their lives, and I’ll for sure never forget how kind and helpful you all were to all of us!”
