“We are so thankful that our children have had the opportunity to attend Little Thinkers. From day one, it’s been so much more than just a place where our children are looked after — it’s a place where they are nurtured, supported, and inspired to grow. The team at Little Thinkers go above and beyond to create an environment filled with love, learning, and connection, embracing my children's different cultures and the cultures of others. Our children have always felt valued and encouraged, and we’ve seen them thrive in every way socially, emotionally, and academically. Little Thinkers isn’t just a kindergarten to us, it truly feels like family. We’re so grateful for all the care, attention, and warmth they’ve given our two children over the past 5 years. We couldn’t be happier to have found such a special place. I wish we could start from room 1 all over again.”

“This is a wonderful small centre where the teachers are warm and caring. I highly recommend this centre because they take such great care of the kids.”

“Tranquil and Private park for the residents to enjoy. Nice benches for taking in the surroundings or having a moment of reflection. Comes with average toilets and a small playground with drinking fountain on the other side.”

“Like wandering through a tidy apocalypse.”

“An excellent part of the afternoon spent with our grandchild. Basic playground which was perfect.”

“Edit: thanks for the response. Glad it's getting worked on.”

“This preschool is a Christian one. My daughter came home with a whole bunch of God stuff! We are not Christian but respect the religion. Great honestly for non-chritstian and Christian! Rachel is lovely :)”

“Our daughter, Calantha, started at Kiddies Campus when she was just 5 months old, and now at 4 years old, we couldn’t be more grateful for the nurturing and educational environment that this wonderful school has provided her. From the very first day, the staff made us feel like part of the Kiddies Campus family. The teachers are not only skilled and professional, but they truly care about the development of each child. Calantha has blossomed in ways we couldn’t have imagined. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, and we’ve seen her grow in confidence, creativity, and communication. The environment is safe, loving, and fun, with a perfect balance of structure and play that fosters both academic and social development. We love the regular updates and communication we receive about Calantha’s progress, as well as the personal attention she gets. It’s clear that Kiddies Campus is committed to providing an enriching experience that supports the individual needs of each child. We are beyond thankful for all the positive experiences Calantha has had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful place for her early education. We look forward to seeing her continue to grow with Kiddies Campus!”

“What a wonderful place and a lovely bunch of staff. Our boys have attended over the past 5 years and I cannot rate the awesome teachers highly enough. They are extremely caring and cater for kids of all needs. Our boys have fantastic bonds with the staff, and love to see them outside of the centre. Thanks for being our home away from home.”

“Friendly staff , awesome for little ones”

“Amazing centre with friendly staff and great food!”

“Amazing childcare, where our son spent 2 years. Teachers are great, always considering children needs. Our little one learnt a lot of his social skills as well as songs and other things from being there. Big thanks to the team at CoKids for everything!”

“Little Footprints has been the best choice for our little guy. We are forever blessed with the care and nuturing he receives from his wonderful teachers. It is an awesome enviroment, always welcoming.”

“Thank you so much learning steps as a best caregiver for my daughter. As a first time mom who is overprotective for my girl , I was very unsure about putting my daughter in a daycare but as a working parents we don’t have other options. Learning steps has changed my perception about the daycare and this is the best decision for my daughter's development that I have enrolled her at learning steps. Teachers are so kind and helpful , also they always listen to us what are our priorities and do their best to identify my daughter’s skill. Highly recommend to all parents who really wanna assured their child’s safety and care. Keep doing your great work and thank you again.”

“My 4.5 year old has attended the Our kids on Glendale road since he was 7 months old and it is like a second home to him. The staff are friendly and caring, I love that the turnover of staff is very low so many of them have been there since he started. I also love the mixed age environment, as it gives it a real family feel. My little one loves it here so much and we couldn’t be happier with the centre.”

“My daughter had enjoyed Go banana for more than 2 years . Teachers are friendly and care. She don’t want to go anywhere else .”

“The teachers here have got the balance right. They nurture. They teach. They care. They listen. I know every time I drop off my son he will be safe. I also know that when I pick him up he will be happy and healthy - if not a little grubby from the FUN he has had learning! Thanks to the teachers for making this happen!”

“Simply the best pre-school. Thank you to the awesome team!”

“We researched nearly every daycare in the Papakura and Franklin area, and decided on Peter Pan Daycare in Opaheke/Papakura. The location is very good, as it's on Great South Road and 2 minutes from the motorway and train station, so convenient for pick up / drop off. We initially had our daughter in another daycare, however decided that Peter Pan was a better fit for her so transitioned her over when she was around 18 months old. We always liked the Montessori type philosphy around education, and we felt this daycare had a similar type of feel and approach. We were very nervous about moving our daughter to another daycare, but we felt so supported through the transition period and the Centre Manager and teachers took a customised / personal approach to suit our daughter and what she needed. Now 2 and a half, she is just thriving there, and our 1 year old has just started. It's the little things that make this place great. The staff are just awesome, their academic qualifications, their previous teaching backgrounds, their genuine passion for what they do, I feel like my children are in an environment where they are loved and nurtured. The Centre Manager is marvellous, anything to do with child development, behavioural stages, education, she is just an expert and we rely alot on her advice. The Centre is brand new, so the resources / faciliites are very modern, extremely clean. The babies sleep room is great, air conditioned / heatpumps. I love that I don't have to pack a bag or food, as they have an on site chef and each child has a locker, so I literally walk the kids in on their own, no bag or anything. The food is amazing and like something off a high end cafe menu! The large rooms are connected by a hallway, which makes it so much easier when dropping off a baby and a toddler, I'm not having to go to 2 separate buildings for each child. The Centre is also off the road, so from the security perpsective, I really like it. Regular stories and photos updates about the children on their development come into my phone each day and throughout the week, so I always know what they are doing and get a snapshot into their world. Each day, I get a run down of what has happened with each child, what they did, how long they slept, what they ate, any particular milestones reached or tried etc etc. The administration / invoicing is always accurate. I think the biggest thing for us is that we feel our children are genuinely loved there and their leaps and bounds in their development is the proof and they way they interact with their teachers is with true affection. We are a multi cultural family, with a Pakeha father and Samoan mother, so it was very important to us that our children were exposed to as many different cultures and languages for their academic development and social interactions in the outside world, and we love that the Centre has so many cultures and each is respected and nurtured. After looking at around 20 daycares, this one really ticked all the boxes for us. Peter Pan is a really good brand, but what makes this particular Peter Pan daycare in Opaheke so great is the quality of the Teachers and Center Manager.”

“AMAZING xoxo Love this preschool. Teachers are fabulous, awesome and very interactive. They love their kids and genuinely make the effort to ensure they are learning, well looked after and are engaged in numerous . My daughter loves going to school and so will yours. Teachers speak well to the kids and everything centers around the well being & learning of your child xx”

“We had our daughter start at Lollipops when she was around one. We love this place and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a loving daycare for their children. The teachers have been there for a long time and are all beautiful women who cares so much for the children. They do weekly music classes, has a super fun outdoor play space which they use daily and my daughter has learned so much from mat time. They also make beautiful, healthy home cooked meals which is amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.”
