School in New Zealand

“I highly recommend Millie’s House Oxford Street. The teachers are friendly, all cultures are recognised and celebrated and it is evident that the kaiako really do care about the welfare and development of the children as individuals. We have loved being a part of the kindy community and will look back fondly on our time there as our son heads off to school. We feel that attending Millie’s House has aided our son immensely in his readiness for school as he has gained so much confidence in himself, especially in regards to his social interaction with others.”

“Cam is a great coach and the club is a great place to learn judo”

“I'm proud to be Art Artist who attended The Learning Connexion in Taita and completed all the levels it's a wonderful and pleasure and beautiful space to be”

“This is a great place to start working on your marital status and is suitable for all ages 5+, though adults are not forced to go in sessions with those of such a young age. Not only does it teach self defence but it also teachers properly breathing and stretching. If you're looking for a good place to start martial arts, this place is for you.”

“Portobelo has been a lovely early learning centre for my son, he looks forward to going every day, and enjoys the social interactions and activities. All the staff are super nice and really listen and understand my son's needs and wants.”

“Very welcoming. Boy and my baby girl love it here. Awesome people, kids settled in easy family like environment and staff very helpful. thanks heaps.”

“Learning Links is a second family to us. My son attended 3 years ago and now my daughter. All of the staff are amazing, and they work together with you to nurture your child's development plus they provide healthy delicious meals! I truly couldn't ask for a better day care.”

“I have recently moved into the area and already I absolutely love going to reformer pilates here. Nicole and her team are amazing instructors and create a friendly, supportive and relaxed environment. Their new studio is fitted out perfectly and is a great atmosphere for a good workout! I leave the studio each time feeling good. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”

“So welcoming from the start. Such a pretty space too! The whole team made us feel relaxed. Kara and Sophie encouraged us to go at our own pace and listen to our bodies limits or injuries - anyone of any ability can tailor the class to their current capabilities. If you workout regularly, don’t think you won’t be a challenged , KX Pilates will definitely compliment your other activities and help improve performance!”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful environment at BestStart. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting here—she’s building friendships, enjoying a wide variety of activities, and most importantly, feels a real sense of belonging. The teachers are warm, patient, and encouraging, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children. We can see every day how much our daughter enjoys coming to daycare, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is not only having fun but also learning important skills along the way. Thank you to the entire BestStart team for the love, effort, and positivity you bring—it truly makes such a difference. We couldn’t be prouder of child and more thankful for the supportive environment she’s surrounded by.”

“The staff at Omokoroa Preschool are simply lovely. From the moment you enter, you can sense the positive energy. My 3 year old Autistic granddaughter settled in straight away. Staff were very accommodating and gave her space to explore. She loves attending her sessions.”

“Kidiwise is the best daycare around! Our friends in other areas are so jealous of what our son gets up too! It’s not about being the top looking with fake trees its about kids being kids, creating, building, exploring their own native bush weekly! Pony rides, hatching chickens and swimming in the spa! We can’t recommend kidiwise enough we love the imagination it lets our son have and the teachers who support him.”

“This is a very family centred club, all ages and abilities. Karate is not something that comes naturally to me but I really enjoy the classes, learning the techniques and the people. Great for core strength, flexibility and balance in a very friendly and supportive environment. Awesome teachers and inspiration from Sensei Rick and the Senpai's - Osu!”

“I’ve been doing Flexi Barre with Renee for over three years now and I absolutely love it. I’m so much stronger, fitter and more flexible than I ever thought I could be. Renee has extensive knowledge and will always make sure you are working your hardest but keeping your body safe. After many injuries in the past this is especially important to me and Renee is great at adapting exercises so anyone of any abilitycan do it. Class sizes are kept small which makes for a a fun, supportive environment with no judgement. Highly recommend Wanderlust Dance Studio for anyone looking for a fun way to exercise.”

“Recently bought a NSP protech from these guys. Excellent service and really friendly, also provided great advice as I was looked for a board to move up from a foamy. Best price I could find in NZ. Would highly recommend them.”

“Thankyou to all the amazing team that has supported my 2 kids from babies through to school aged i cannot recommend enough for the love and support we have felt over the years and the opportunities the kids have gotten to be apart of. Thankyou again❤️”

“My kids love being part of the Sophie Jean Dance family . They love the style of dance and the positive feel of the studio. The teachers have helped them grow in confidence and they’ve formed great friendships there.”

“I was very hesitatant to allow my 15month old to self soothe instead of being feed and rocked to sleep before transferring to the crib which we had done since birth. With the help and support of the nursery team at Lumsden kindergarten, allowing my daughter to learn to self soothe was one of the best decisions we have made. After 2 weeks of starting my daughter can be put down in her crib and is asleep within 5 minutes. No tears and she finally sleeps through the night! It was hard at the start of this journey but well worth it. The biggest thank you to the lovely lady's in lumsden kindergarten nursery who reassured me through out our sleep training journey.”

“Talented and experienced teachers”

“10/10 ;)! Absolutely love everything about the McCallion-Hester dance academy, having danced since i was very little, Irish dancing was one huge thing i missed when moving overseas,I recently moved from Australia to New Zealand where i lived for many years and never really found an adult Irish dance classes that had the expertise and professionalism that these guys have here in Auckland!! The standard is incredible and the opportunities are endless, from beginners through to advanced and everything in-between they have it all covered! I would highly recommend giving it ago, whether it be for fun, fitness, to meet new people or as a previous dancer wanting to get back into it, this is definitely the place to go!!! Maire and Sean are so welcoming, enthusiastic and have the patients of a saint!! Amazing job guys, so glad i found you in Auckland!!!!!”

“Our daughter has been with C2B for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The teachers are incredible and support her growth and development in so many fun ways. We love that she gets to play with the older kids as well as the kids her age which creates such a wonderful bond between the kids and teaches her to interact with people of all ages. We have and will continue to recommend C2B to all our friends and families!”

“We had our staff Christmas lunch at Emily’s and had a great time & amazing food. We did a cooking class with lovely Emily and her just as lovely staff and then had a Greek meal. So good - highly recommend”

“My granddaughter goes to this excellent day-care centre and loves it. Besides being well cared for she gets educational input as well as great socialising with the other children. The staff are very caring and very professional. This is an impressive place that truly cares for the precious assets with which they are entrusted.”

“I have had multiple children attend The Grange early learning centre over the past eight years. In the past five years I have noticed a lot of new resources, new programmes and learning activities. This childcare stands out from the rest due to their amazing teachers many of which have been there for a very long time. The centre has been a home away from home for my family. Thank you for being the best childcare out West!!”

“An amazing daycare facility! My daughter has been well cared for from 10 months old. She loves her time at the centre and is happy to be dropped off, often not ready to go home at pickup time. Nothing I ask is ever too much. The staff are very informative about her day. They are caring and have made the effort to get to know my child and her family.”

“Both my kids have attended this preschool from 6 months to 5 years old and we have never had an issue with this centre. The staff are kind, friendly and you can see they love what they do. The centre is always clean and the food made there - my kids say it’s amazing!”

“An excellent introduction to the seemingly daunting world of sailing. This course doesn't leave you stuck in the classroom all day, watching videos and looking at slideshows! The vast majority of the course is spent out on Wellington Harbour, learning through hands-on interaction with the boats. Yes, it can be a little bit full-on at times and some parts of my body hurt that I didn't know existed, but ultimately it is a rewarding and unique opportunity to gain essential skills in a fascinating sport and leisure activity.”

““As a mature student, I was nervous about trying a stretch class with balletic movements, but this class has been an absolute joy. Our wonderful teacher, Monique’s warmth, understanding, and encouragement create a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of ability or experience. Her expertise in ballet shines through as she gently guides us through graceful movements that improve flexibility, posture, and balance. Each class leaves me feeling rejuvenated, recharged and refreshed. It’s a truly uplifting experience that I look forward to every week!””
