School in New Zealand

“We love Woolston preschool! So grateful for the kind and knowledgeable team here. It's very clear the teachers and management work hard to create the most nurturing and welcoming educational environment.”

“Our son Larry has had the best experience at Kindercare with warm teachers and staff. They help give families flexibility and teach the children so many helpful skills they need in the world. Larry is very well prepared for school after a year of amazing topics and opportunities. Couldn't fault the centre and recommend highly.”

“We are a month in from starting but this isn’t including the stretched settling in time that we took- I am incredibly grateful to the team and know that my little one adores them, making it so much easier to leave her there knowing she is having such a great time”

“Active Explorers has been a wonderful second home for our daughter . Due to the pressure of lockdown , transitioning my daughter at the age of 9 months had its difficult moments as a mother but the Kaiako here at Active Explorers were flexible, understanding and supportive through the whole journey. My daughter is nearly 2 and still to this day love sending her here. I love to see her excitement every day , and her affection she shows to both her Kaiako and her peers.”

“Our kids are thriving at Campus Creche. We first started our son in Kowhai when we first moved to Hamilton in 2019 & felt immediately at home. The creche teachers became family & supported us through a really tough transition moving cities. Since then our son has moved through each centre & is almost off to school. Luckily we get to keep being part of the community with our daughter recently starting at Whekī. Other than the wonderful kaiako, we really love the huge outdoor spaces & nature-based play our kids get to experience.”

“Awesome dance studio with a great vibe. The owner Kelsey is not only a talented dancer, but she is encouraging, fun and hard working. Also super super organised so you always know what is happening and when. Highly recommend *****”

“Our 8yo daughter has been dancing with Suzanne for 3 years and she loves it. She has additional needs and I was nervous to allow her to sit exams but with Suzanne's encouragement and expert guidance she has sat two and done amazingly well! Suzanne is a patient, fun and kind teacher who oozes passion for dance. She goes above and beyond to ensure her students feel comfortable and are achieving their best. I appreciate the small friendly vibe of the dance school and that parents are welcome to sit in during classes. The show is an annual highlight and is always amazing, and it's lovely to do it mid-year instead of during December madness. Thank you Suzanne from someone who never wanted to be a dance mum!”

“Love love love Mainly Dance classes - have been doing barre for a number of years and the recent addition of reformer Pilates has been fantastic. It adds an extra layer to the week’s workouts. Kelly and her team strive never to have the same class twice and the energy that Kelly gives to each class is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend.”

“Beautiful studios with a beautiful community. Teachers are not only skilled and passionate but also deeply dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“This is the place to be. Sensei Tevita is exceptional. He is very good with the young ones and has a great balance of fun and discipline, resulting in kids sticking with it longer. They offer 3 classes a week and you can go as many or few times as you like. My kids have been attending for about 6 months now and it's been a great decision. I would highly recommend this dojo to other parents who want to get their kid into karate. Well worth it.”

“Jess is an amazing personal trainer. I had some specific goals and Jess listened to me and supported me through these. She is positive, friendly and always a laugh. Thank you for supporting me in my fitness journey. I feel so much more confident and strong.”

“Arrived unannounced to visit my son Allan. Was greeted brightly at reception and was told that Allan would be down shortly.”

“Great toddler dance class! My daughter loves it, and the flexibility of a ten class pass (rather than signing up for a term) is great for this age”

“Lots of fun there! Almost christmas 14th of December and 15th of December show time you can go to that if you want! 2024”

“Annabel has created the best little pottery place ever! Super chill environment with small groups so you get that one on one help if needed. Highly recommend booking one of her workshops, you won't regret it!”

“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 ♡”

“Belinda Goodwin is a natural and empathetic dance teacher who appears to have found her true calling in life. Her classes are inspirational - each session commencing with Belinda giving an explanation of what areas and systems she is focusing on for that class. Each dance is demonstrated and its beneficial components explained further throughout the movement. Belinda also elaborates on the links between the physical and emotional aspects of the movements and how they are related to the rhythm of the music for each piece. As participants she reminds us off the importance of the brain to develop new neural networks which can only serve to benefit participants further. Belinda gains the trust of her pupils so they work hard to meet her expectations. She uses praise constantly and does not criticise or cajole her students. She encourages them to do what they feel they can best achieve within the limitations of their Individual conditions. The class benefits from her physicality, musicality and sense of spirituality as well as her great sense of rhythm. She loves to heighten the mood of a dance by adding vocalisations to give special emphasis to sections of the music that she particularly enjoys or wants stressed. Her special talents combined with her enthusiasm for life and her compassion, concern and consideration for and of her pupils as individuals make Belinda an unforgettable, excellent dance teacher.
