“We have loved our time in at Chlidsplay, we’re in the Fantail Room and could not be more complimentary of Mandy and Irene. They create such a welcoming and loving environment and our daughter absolutely adores them. Thanks both and all the rest of the childsplay team!”

“1 month in and all the teachers try very hard. They are very patient and kind. I trust the teachers so much that it makes me feel good leaving my world in their hands. I have recommended to family members already. This is my first experience with daycares and honestly, they have set the bar so high! Thankful for everyone ❤”

“Our son has been attending ACG Remuera since turning 12 months old in May 2024, and he genuinely loves the place. He is always smiling and happy when we drop him off in the mornings. All the teachers are wonderful and caring.”

“The team and facilities at ABC Epsom are fantastic. Particularly the teachers in the under two's room are so caring and wonderful with the littlies. The atmosphere at the centre is great. Lovely big outdoor space for a relatively central centre. Highly recommend.”

“Apple Tree Preschool is a fantastic place with caring and friendly teachers who greet you warmly when you arrive and leave everyday. They provide daily verbal updates about your child at the end of the day and monthly stories that highlight their progress. The staff take sickness seriously, keeping families informed about any illnesses at the preschool and encouraging caution to keep everyone safe. They also offer hot, healthy lunches along with morning and afternoon teas every day. Overall, it’s a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where both children and parents feel supported.”

“My son is in tui room and he had a fantastic experience with Best Start Ascot. The teachers are warm, professional, and caring. They are also flexible in terms of schedule changes and will acknowledge your concerns. The range of activities keeps the children engaged and supports both their creativity and learning. Most importantly, I feel confident knowing that my child is in a safe, nurturing environment. I highly recommend this center especially for those who are unsure whether to start their child on daycare or not.”

“A place which was second home for my daughter. She started in 2020 and a graduated in 2025... A long journey with the best teachers who not only understands the child but supports Parents as well. From crawling to standing and then running with lots of fun, learning, exploring and developing with trustworthy teachers, this is how our daughter's journey was. Special thanks to all the teachers Henny, Aman, Maddi, Asha, Alpana, Raheena, Ronita, Kajal, Mau, Anita and last but not least Gazelle for your continuous support. Highly recommended childcare to everyone... Thanks Swapnil and Nitika”

“Best centre in the heart of Papakura and I highly recommend this kindy. First day visit to the centre and I already 100% thankful that I step foot in this centre. All staff are friendly and family orientated. They took extra mile and went beyond measure to meet the needs of the children even though all children has different needs. I love this centre is very clean and tidy and they accommodate the children to the best of their ability and making sure that all children are safe and happy. My daughter has no issue going to this centre. Thank you millions Beststart Marne Road, Papakura.”

“Our son has attended Pascals for a short 7 months since he was 1.5 years old, and we have seen him flourish at this lovely establishment. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and have always taken the extra effort to make sure your child is well and happy. Our son has made so many friends, gained lots of confidence and new skills, and his vocabulary exploded once he settled in the Tui room. It's been amazing to see our son grow into an amazing little boy, and credit is due to the wonderful teachers and staff at Pascals.”

“We have enjoyed a fantastic year of care for our little girl. Her learning and speech development has been amazing and she loves to see her teachers and little friends each day.”

“We’ve had our 3 children in the care of Fantails Silverdale since 2018, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The teachers are always so warm, caring, and dedicated to the children, which makes a huge difference in their development. It’s clear they’re genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing environment. The outdoor space is fantastic! There’s plenty of room for the kids to play and explore, and it’s a great feature of the centre. I also love that they have separate rooms for different age groups, so each child gets the attention and activities suited to their stage of development. Fantails organizes regular events that keep things fresh and exciting for the kids, from themed days to celebrations, and they always look forward to these. The extra activities they offer, like playball, swimming, and school visits, are a nice touch and give the children a variety of experiences beyond the typical classroom setting. What stands out most, however, is how the management truly listens to feedback. They are always open to suggestions and seem genuinely invested in improving the centre. It’s clear that they care about the families they serve. We couldn’t be happier with the care our kids are receiving at Fantails, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, engaging, and professional early learning centre.”

“Not only dance classes but yoga, zumba and Pilates classes too”

“Attended an absolutely amazing end of term play. The activity across the stage was riveting and captivating. One of the best plays i have ever had the privilege of attending. Time flew and the young actors displayed skill beyond their years.”

“Over the years, I’ve tried many gyms, but this one stands out as the best. I really enjoy the 30 minute lunchtime classes - they keep me fit and motivate me to turn up and keep going. The trainers make the sessions both challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend the classes if you are looking for a bit of motivation or a solid workout! The gym is not overcrowded so you don’t have to wait to use machines like at other gyms which is also great!”

“My children have been involved with this music school for over three years now. Their classes are a highlight of their (and my) week. The teachers are friendly and talented educators. The rooms are warm, bright and welcoming. As well as having fun their musical aptitude is going from strength to strength. My five year old plays piano with both hands. My seven year old can finally sing in tune. The Chch Music Academy classes are great value for money and an asset for the children of Christchurch. I love the easy parking too:)”

“Can’t thank enough this awesome Kindy. They have great and kind teachers. They’re focused and dedicated to the child’s development. Lots of fun activities that kids would surely enjoy. We’ll miss the school and staffs as my child will move to primary school. Cheers! ❤️ -Karen”

“Beststart has some of the most calming and easy to communicate stuff members. Their goals of early childhood education is clear and direct and easy to follow along with, especially for the growth of your children.I would recommend highly to anyone who needs a pre-school/Daycare. One thing I struggled with was money but Best Start offers affordable daycare. Very thankful to have them so close to home ♡”

“Comfortable seats in the theatre, saw an awesome musical here. Great show.”

“My now 5 year old spent over 4 years at Annabel’s before recently starting school, she loved her time there she had great bonds with her teachers and peers. My 1 year old is still in the nursery and he loves his teachers they have great ratios and form a close bond with their key teacher. We have been very happy with Annabel’s and the staff! The new centre manager is doing a great job and is supported by a great team of teachers.”

“Would highly recommend fitme massage. Alana was amazing, she was professional, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the 90 min massage. She focused on all my problem areas and did wonders for my back which had been so painful since giving birth to my son 8 months prior. Thanks again, and I look forward to booking in again soon! :)”

“What an awesome experience diving with Mark. He made sure we all had a fantastic time, is very patient and has a great sense of humour. We will be back!!”

“My daughter is in Go Bananas Childcare Horotiu and she had a smooth transition from her previous childcare to here as the teachers are amazing in making sure that my daughter is feeling comfortable. From the management to the teachers and administrator everyone is pleasant. Glad that my daughter is at the right place.”

“This daycare is like a diamond in the rough. When we were looking for daycare options we must have googled and visited a dozen different daycares with no luck. Then we just happened to drive pass this little gem and thought "let's visit this one". We're so glad we did. Best daycare of the lot. Our son is learning so much and has such an amazing time. Staff here are incredible and the children are too. 10/10, highly recommend.”

“Play to learn has been great for our son who started there when he was 6 months old. The smaller centre is lovely as it has created an environment where it is easy to form strong relationships between children and carers as well as other whaanau. We have been very happy with the care our son receives - thank you Kylee & team”
