School in New Zealand

“My daughter is very happy here.”

“My 1 yr old daughter attends 'Froggies' and absolutely loves it! The team there are attentive, kind and have helped her grow and learn so much over the past 6 months. Would highly recommend to any parent looking for a childcare centre in East Auckland”

“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!”

“My daughter attended Our Kids Glendene from 10 months old until starting school. The level of care she received was consistently excellent. The team clearly care deeply for the children at this centre, and have been easy to communicate with at all times. My daughter has been well supported in her emotional and social development and the team have established a strong foundation for her learning journey. She has happily started school as a confident and well-rounded girl, which is in large part thanks to the team at Our Kids Glendene.”

“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.”

“I have absolutely loved Ako Adventures. They watched 2 of my children and they grew and thrived in their environment. It was sad that we had to leave due to relocating, but if we were in the area we would definitely come back! All staff were amazing towards me and my family. We thank you so much!!”

“Two of my girls attended Howick Baptist Kindy and we absolutely loved the experience. We were always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I appreciated the integration of faith and learning, and my kids had so much fun while at the kindy. The other families whose kids attended HBK became close friends and have remained so. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone”

“Absolutely love Acorn and has been amazing for my 2 children... Catherine who runs it genuinely cares for all the children and wants to make it a great environment for pre school development with the right mix of fun and learning. They have a 4 year old programme run for 4 year olds (as you'd expect) and is designed to get them ready for school with some of the elements of school... this is a perfect intro for my daughter who got an award at her first school assembly for settling in so quickly. The Christmas concert they put on is also a yearly highlight... and even though I'm off work this week and my son could stay at home, he has wanted to go to Acorn to play with his friends each day... I highly recommend Acorn to anyone considering a ELC in Auckland!”

“Leo had a wonderful time at the Little Earth Montessori, filled with laughter, learning, and new friendships. Leo felt happy and safe, thanks to the caring and dedicated staff who supported him every step of the way. Their warmth and enthusiasm made his daycare experience truly special. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped him thrive and made his time at Little Earth Montessori so memorable.”

“I want to come back because I left for a bit but when I come back I want to be able to ride bitless and without a whip but Maria is the most supportive instructor that I have ever had which is why I want to go back I love horses I just don't want to ride with metal in the horses mouth or hitting the horse with a whip thank you if you read this I don't want to say this to her face because I don't want to come of as rude so could you ask the people you are teaching if they want to ride bitless thank you for reading this :)”

“I couldn’t speak more highly of this centre. There is absolutely no other centre quite like this one and you are quick to realise this upon spending welcomed time there. The kids here get the opportunity to go on bus rides, make trips to the local super market to purchase foods to complement the food they have grown, learnt and hand picked in their own garden, they go on bike rides, learn about things that are important and current to our world, the list goes on and on. My daughters development is growing at a rapid rate and I honestly wish I could take all the credit for it but I know the large majority stems from P2. The teachers all know how to care, extend, and most importantly understand what works best for her. I believe that her needs would get lost in a bigger centre so it’s nice that numbers are kept low here. P2 is not just an early childhood centre, it’s a family where everyone is accepted and embraced, family’s are connected together, relationships are built and successes are celebrated. When our time here is up, we will walk away with some life long friends and connections. I am so thankful that my daughter gets to experience care like this. Again, I could not recommend this centre any more.”

“Open from 7.30am-5.30pm whanau based Kohanga”

“What an awesome organisation. Fitness, wellness, mind & body. Kirsty runs some great programmes to help people reach their true potential. Keep up the good work”

“Attending Sarah's and liz's classes over the past 3 months have been amazingly beneficial to my wellbeing. The focus for me was on improving my flexibility , core strength and also finding a more meditative approach to exercise . The location itself is serene!! We get a personalised approach to the yoga and I also feel challenged!! I highly recommend these classes.”

“I went to their latest one day intro to stunt riding clinic and have now started lessons as I had such an amazing time! The instructors place a huge emphasis on safety and making sure that all horses are well trained and gear is to the highest safety standard. It is the perfect place for anyone to learn who is looking to get into the industry or is wanting to get out of their comfort zone in the safest possible environment. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Very kind teacher , dedicated and devoted with passion and experience.My daughter always enjoys the learning process”

“Great dance school, with great teachers and a positive, challenging and fun environment, highly recommend.”

“Super valuable part of the arts and dance community on Ōtautahi.”

“Teacher is very experienced and shares immense knowledge with us.”

“Friendly, respectful atmosphere for those wanting to pursue a quality martial art.”
