School in New Zealand

“From the first moment we walked into Albany Community Preschools' gates, we have felt welcomed and 'taken care of'. The teachers are all so lovely and warm. They have taken the time to get to know our son and he is excited to go to Preschool each day. He has even asked to go to school on the weekend and when I pick him up he wants to stay a little longer. Cannot recommend this preschool more!”

“This is such a wonderful Day Care. My son went here for 2 years and had a great time. The cost is very reasonable, and they get fed. They have lovely celebrations. Great teachers and good communication. Thank you to Uptown Kids.”

“We couldn't be happier! Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves going every day — she comes home smiling, singing songs she’s learned, and telling us about all her little adventures. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where every child feels safe and valued. We've seen so much growth in her confidence, communication, and creativity since she started. The activities are thoughtfully planned, balancing play, learning, and social development beautifully. It's such a wonderful feeling as a parent to know that your child is genuinely happy, loved, and thriving. We are so grateful to the amazing team and highly recommend them to any family looking for a place where their little one will be truly cared for.”

“We love this daycare! It provides a nice environment with excellent, patient teachers. My son's language skills have improved significantly, and he learns a lot every day. The teachers regularly give feedback on the children's progress, which we really appreciate.”

“What a lovely and NZ unique place for the little ones! My boy is 9 month old. He loves here so much and has a lot of fun together with other children. He likes copying bigger kids playing and enjoys different adventures every time. I believe he likes sand and water very much. I really like here too because parents share ideas with each other, help looking after each other's kids. Friendly, caring and sharing. What a team! Thank you for all of the organizers' hard working... Feel blessed...”

“Big thank you to everyone at Pikopiko and Krissy! You guys were great! I always felt like bubs was very safe there. They were always very loving with the tamariki and he learned so many great new things. Our bubs loved going! Again, thank you for a great first Kindy experience.”

“The Rock Academy is an awesome place for kids. There is a lot of work put in by Geoff others to encourage and develop lots of skills and learn new things that the kids might not have been exposed to. It's awesome how Geoff runs a holiday program and has them busking too. A well run and fun environment for all that attend. Well done team, keep up the awesome work you all do.”

“We are more to a satisfied with the daycare. Our both children, the older son nearly 4 years and the little girl about a year old are attending the daycare daily. We love seeing laugh on our children faces when we go to pick them up. All the care givers are amazing. Their food is amazing. Clean and tidy place which is great for our children growth. My older son is learning many good things in daycare that we get surprised with. Overall, we got the best place for our kids.”

“We love Annabels, my daughter has been going there since February and she is thriving. She has gained alot of confidence in that time. She loves her teachers whom are warm and supportive with her learning. She loves the big outdoor play area with loads of room for the children. Annabels is her favourite place.”

“This is a great kindy. It has a huge outdoor area including a large covered area which is good for when it's raining. There are so many different activities set up to keep the kids busy. My daughter loves coming home with crafts she's made using the glue gun! The hours are perfect for my 4year old as she doesn't come home too tired and over stimulated!”

“I have been part of the Kindercare Rangiora family for the past seven years. I say family because that's what they make you feel like. They have helped me through the seperation with my husband and made sure my girls always knew they were loved and had a voice of their own. Both my girls are very different but they catered for their needs individually. Always easy to talk to about anything and give a lot of support. At times when I was struggling they always made me feel like I was doing the best I can and that is enough. The whole staff there have definitely been part of my village and I am forever grateful to have been part of that family for so long. It has been a big adjustment to not see them every day, now that both my girls are at school. If you are looking for a safe, fun and loving environment for your kids to be able to grow and learn then I suggest you take them to Kindercare Rangiora and enjoy being part of the family there.”

“My Preschool is fantastic. It feels like you are dropping your little one to a family or friends house for the day. Lovely cosy indoor space with activities galore, a huge outdoor area with real grass (gasp!), vege garden, chickens and plenty of things to keep little minds busy. The staff are lovely and caring and Neill and Denise (the owners) are always present and involved, can't recommend enough!! Our wee man has thrived here :)”

“Very beautiful atmosphere for the our kids. I will recommend to all community people. Service and teacher are excellent best place enrol kids in Cambridge…”

“I have 3 children currently attending and the kids love it there. They are all treated as individuals and they're learning and growing so much. The centre provides meals that offer a good range of foods and healthy! There is open communication with teachers and center director and the teachers genuinely care for the kids and make amazing connections. We love it.”

“My son has been in New Shoots Sandhurst for almost 3 years. From Pipi as a baby, now in Taniwha as a young man :) His brother will soon be joining him there to start his journey. I can attest to the great management of Meg and the devotion of all the teachers. Even though we have moved away, we won’t move him out of the centre because he loves it sooo much. Thanks team!”

“Such patient & helpful folk, on the phone, both at Milford & Head office & the internet order page is easy to navigate, delivery very prompt. I am delighted with their customer care & efficiency.”

“My daughter has been going to Childspace for two years and we have been so happy with it. The teachers are amazing, nurturing and so friendly. Our daughter often comes home wanting to show or teach us something that she learnt at Childspace that day and it gives us the confidence that she is going to be well prepared for starting school next year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Childspace to anyone looking for quality daycare.”

“This was the first time we have purchased music from Steven and everything went as smooth as possible. Being a digital download (which I really appreciate) I was able to access the music right away and get it out to the band.”

“My son is currently enrolled at Tiny Stars and I cant tell how you much my son has learnt especially in the past year at Tiny Stars. Though he's playful at home, his attitude changes as soon as the gate opens and it's like he's a different person. He honestly loves Tiny Stars he sometimes doesn't want to leave. The staff there too are also friendly, they keep you in the loop of your child's learning and they really value the child's learning.”

“Casa Montessori is one of the best Montessori pre school that i have seen in New Zealand. Teachers are excellent l, caring loving and very organised, environment is really tidy and clean and also methodical. My son loved going to Casa everyday and he was well prepared for the school by the teachers. Centre manager Sonali was amazing and very kind a caring soul. The learning stories were amazing as they were really comprehensive and detailed with plenty of pictures and i loved reading them when there were uploaded. They had a practical skills area, science, maths language and literacy, so STEAM activities, music, painting, geography & physical activities too. They even did baking , making dumplings with kids.. i have never found a place like Casa Montessori even in the south island of New Zealand to enrol my daughter after my son . I think Casa Montessori has set the bar very high for all the Montessori preschools around New Zealand. Well done! Keep up the good work Casa Montessori! Love this place so much Highly recommend them to everyone all in all great place❤️”

“My daughter has been attending this daycare for a little over two months. Despite her shyness, with the help of the teachers, she has already made friends, gained confidence, and eagerly participates in play with the other children and teachers. The teachers are extremely passionate about their work, keeping the children engaged with a wide variety of interesting activities so that they never get bored.”

“Peninsula Early Learning has been such a supportive environment for both my daughter and our whānau. The kaiako are all incredible teachers and so kind. They always have the child’s interest at the forefront of decisions. The ratios are great and the weekly nature walk programme and quarterly trips exceeded my expectations. My daughter absolutely loves being able to explore the local beaches or community on these trips. We have loved being part of the preschool community and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful space for our tamariki.”

“My kids are thriving here. I see that they are enjoying playing with other kids and they are very at ease with all the teachers. I highly recommebd this centre”

“I have been training with Andre at NZ Self Defence Academy for a number of years and have found it a great place to train, learn and gain experience. I have just completed a 3-day training camp where I was able to train with some of the top up and coming instructors in New Zealand and Australia. If you are keen to learn a modern self defence system, then give Andre a call!”

“Our tamariki and whānau feel at home at our centre. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable and our tamariki can't wait to go to kura!”

“Amazing is all I can say!! The ladies are so kind and do everything to make sure all the children have a great time. Come 5pm my son doesn't want to leave he is having to much fun. This program is so great for all us parents that need to work after school hours and these ladies do amazing at their job. Couldn't thank them enough for all the hard work they put in.”

“Great family environment with a great supportive group where you can develop your skill and confidence in one's self”
