“Great friendly staff with social worker onsite”

“What a fabulous place to stay. Tatjana and Ingo were great hosts, warm and friendly. The accommodation was perfect with amazing views, and the breakfasts were so tasty. And the cats, how cute and friendly they were too. All in all if you’re visiting this area we highly recommend a stay here”

“i was at this school from year 2 to year 6”

“Lovely staff and plenty good times with my twin daughters. 2005-2007”

“My daughter is very happy here.”

“Our daughter started at Owairaka Kindergarten at the beginning of 2021 and she loves it. Having been a New Entrant teacher for seven years, I had strong ideas about what I was looking for in a kindergarten. Owairaka Kindergarten ticked all the boxes for us. The teachers are really kind and caring, you can tell they truly care about your child and know your child well. The outdoor and indoor provisions are great. There’s always new and interesting activities set up for the children so they get a wide range of experiences. Storypark is regularly updated with your child’s learning stories so you can learn more about what goals they are working on and their progress in meeting them. And most importantly, the children are happy and have lovely friendships with each other. You know when you leave your child will be happy, safe and cared for. I would highly recommend Owairaka Kindergarten to anyone looking for a great start to their child’s educational journey!”

“School has broad international view on education, sees value in and supports bilingual learning, including French and Maori. A place to go if you want your kids to be international citizen, more empathetic and more open minded to other ethnicities and cultures. Like without trades among countries there will be world war, ignoring another cultural heritages risks the stability of the society in long term. The multicultural learning environment is priceless at this school. I reckon if the kids after graduation can't find an intermediate multicultural place to go, consider expand to include intermediate.”

“Beautiful people and beautiful food x blessings”

“I went to that school for 6 years. The best years of my life 2004 - 2010”

“I miss St Marks, it's a great school”

“I rate Redhills kindergarten 5 stars because my child has learnt more then what I expected. Witnessing my childs growth over the years with Redhills kindy has been a pleasure and he definitely has the vocabulary, writing skills and the confidence to start primary next year. We love the teachers! but the head teacher can be a bit sour some days. Thank you very much Redhills kindy.”

“This is my school! Its the best policy there is now!! ”

“My son goes to Lollipops Mount Albert since he was 5 months old. All the teachers are loving & caring. They look after children so well. I am very happy to send my son at lollipops. highly recommended. They have lots of activities, learning which helps children to learn, improve & grow in all aspects of life.”

“I can’t recommend this centre highly enough. It has undergone so many positive changes recently, and the impact is clear. From the centre manager to the teachers and admin staff, everyone is genuinely friendly, supportive, and dedicated to the kids well being.”

“Best school ever! learnt literally everything i know here in such a fun way”

“Love this daycare, we have had two boys attend BestStart. They set them up for life in a very nurturing a caring way.”

“Amazing care by Andrew Liaw and the team. Highly recommend. Very professional, competent and caring. Thanks sarah Hutchings”

“My daughter attended the Royal Oak Learning Centre for about six months, and I couldn’t be happier with how much she’s grown. Moving to a new country was a big adjustment for her, and this was the first learning centre she attended here. Naturally, she felt a bit uncertain at first, especially since her English was limited and only one other child spoke Chinese.What really stood out to me was how the centre handled her situation with such care. They arranged for a Chinese-speaking teacher to support her, which made a world of difference in helping her feel secure and understood during that challenging time. The teachers are not just skilled, but also genuinely caring. They really take the time to get to know each child and their needs, creating a warm and nurturing environment where kids actually look forward to learning. Thank you to the entire team for making her learning experience so enriching and enjoyable!”

“Miss Ghumkor is my teacher at Fairburn in room 26”

“kinz is so good my two children rayyan ali and yash reddy have been going there for 7 years now and they find it amazing !”

“Riverhead Montissori is and has been an amazing daycare for my three children. Reminiscent of a kindy, with a well loved environment and wholesome teaches, while still maintaining the child/teacher ratio and morning routine of a traditional Montissori daycare. The centre is well run and flexible, Rachel in admissions is seemingly always available and accomodating. Due to its community values and small country setting I feel that my children have very personalised care. For our family in particular we appreciate that there is always a very calm and happy atmosphere at drop off, I feel that this encourages my children to start a piece of work and allow me to leave without them getting overwhelmed or sad. My children also enjoy the mix of ages within the classrooms, being able to learn from those older than them and care/teach those who are younger. We cannot recommend Riverhead Montissori enough.”

“My son loves it there, been going for 1 year now. All the teachers are really caring and passionate about what they do. Great activities and play areas”

“I’ve sent both my girls to Busby over the last 2 years and it’s been the best decision for our family. Not only do our girls absolutely love the staff, us as parents, have also formed an amazing bond with the teachers. We really couldn’t ask for a better daycare. Alexia and Allie have been so easy to deal with and they create such engaging activities for the kids. Both my girls have learnt so much and absolutely love going. It’s very comforting to know the girls are always in good hands. I can’t thank all the staff enough.”

“My boy was at ActiveExplorers from 6 months old to 2 years. We moved out west so had to transfer but it is a lovely daycare with wonderful staff, warm and welcoming teachers. We liked their kaupapa and instilling tikanga in our tāmariki, with regular catch up events for parents and teachers that includes nibbles. They are connected to the community and have plenty for the kids to do, including guests who come in including emergency services or song and dance. All the children there are lovely and you can see they are all happy. It’s a lovely place and though it’s on the pricier side of daycares, you will feel safe and comfortable with your child there. Edit: I forgot to add that we were very impressed with the hygiene and cleanliness. You can see they put so much effort into ensuring ailments don’t spread as much as can be controlled. They have a high level of care that goes into ensuring the children’s health and wellbeing.”

“I visited many centers with my two children before settled at magicland Childcare. The single biggest thing that made me click was their open door policy, unlike many other centers, I was able to spend time with my kids till they were able to wave bye bye to me confidently, without tears, my younger one was turning two and my older one was turning four when they first started. Technically they should have gone to separate rooms, but owner made exception to help the process. So they were able to spend lots of time playing together and it built confidence for them both. Now they still play together and also have their own friends. I changed their sessions a few times and the owner and teachers are experienced and approachable and willing to adapt to my needs. I have come across some highly qualified professionals in the ECE field but when you want someone who is ready to listen and help, there aren't many out there, and here is one of the few.”

“My boys have a home away from home at Pakuranga Baptist Kindergarten. Not only do they have fun and play and learn but their lives are also enriched with outside of the square thinking thanks to the teachers, what a fantastic idea 'Outdoor Explorer's' is, each week the kids get to go and explore the estuary and surrounding reserves to learn about their environment, wildlife, pollution and caring for their world. No wonder they have received such an impressive ERO review.”

“I was a bit worried about moving my sensitive 1-year-old to a new daycare after she didn't settle at the last one. But Lollipops Birkenhead has been amazing for both of us! The staff are super understanding and gentle, which has really helped her feel safe and happy there. The teachers are so patient and take the time to calm her down when she's feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she gets to do all sorts of fun and educational activities, even at her young age. I love the regular photo updates, too! I'm really grateful for the caring environment at Lollipops Birkenhead. It's been a great choice for my little one, and I appreciate how much the staff care about making sure every child feels loved and supported. I'd definitely recommend it!”
