“My daughter has been attending Bella Montessori Preschool now for 2 years and has had the most wonderful experience. The staff are incredible and have been very invested in her learning and development. Management has also been very accomodating to my constantly changing circumstances and are very approachable. I couldn’t recommend Bella Montessori highly enough.”

“Wow Nina is amazing! I have used other intuitives but no one like Nina! I feel like I have a plan for my health, her guidance was invaluable! She has just a warm, caring demeanor I am so greatful to have found her!”

“I have been doing yoga for over 10 years and Petra is the best teacher I have been taught by during this time. She has taught me so much in the two terms that I have been practicing with her. She has helped me to gain strength, balance and has assisted me in gaining knowledge and accuracy with my yoga postures. I would highly recommend practicing with Petra. She really focusses on the person as an individual and is both professional and incredibly inspirational. Thank you Petra!”

“Great team at Selwyn TKD. Fun for the young ones with lots of games and training working on discipline, fitness and friendship. Very worthwhile if you are looking at joining a martial arts in the local area.”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for this daycare. The teachers are truly outstanding — warm, caring, and consistently going above and beyond for the children. Our kids feel safe, included, and genuinely cared for every single day. The Christmas party was just one example of the thought, effort, and love they put into everything they do. We feel so lucky to have our children here and appreciate this incredible team more than words can say.”

“The best dance studio! We've been going for a couple years now and everyone is SO lovely and welcoming! My daughter's confidence has grown so much, and I really like how mindful they are of the music choices and costumes ❤️”

“So much fun! Latin vibes, cardio dance class. Friendly crowd, modern music. Recommend”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Active Explorers Rolleston. Our son started knowing very little English and was quite shy, but with the support and care from the amazing team – especially in the Pūrerehua Room – he’s grown so much in confidence. He’s made great friends, learned to communicate in English, and has felt truly included and valued every step of the way. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids and their family. We’re so grateful to every staff member for creating such a warm and supportive environment. Thank you for all you’ve done for kid – we’ll always remember this special time!”

“i love this store. but sadly a lotta people come in and treat the workers wrong. treat people like how you wanna be treated. seriously. if your kid is having a tanty take him/her outside and let her cry. stop making there job harder.”

“Both of my daughters (now 6 and 8) are in the Tumbles class, not yet competitive. We've been in the class nearly a year and they have both grown so much -- athletically speaking -- able to kartwheel, handspring, etc -- but also personally -- developing the confidence to perform in front of an audience. The program is very well run, safe and incredible value for the skills and confidence little ones gain. I must also note, the management and coaches are not simply ticking boxes, they are people who really care, understand discipline and hard work, but also know that it has to be fun for younger children to want to be involved and to stay involved -- it's encouraging to see and an encouraging place for young people to be and learn! Wishing the program continued success :)”

“MaryAnne is great with beginners (like me) in making sure the right technique is used to get the most out of the exercises. I had a specific purpose in taking up pilates and can see the gains made. I'm looking forward to the progressive classes now.”

“I highly recommend Diamond Lodge. My 9 year old daughter has been attending weekly lessons for the last year and has really developed her confidence and skills with Diamond Lodge while having fun at the same time! Her progress in such a short space of time has been truly remarkable. Credit to Sarah the instructor who is patient and highly skilled. Great for parents like me who don't own a pony as my daughter can now do Pony Club too.”

“As a drummer of 18 years, I approached Chris with the task to, "increase my tool box, and make me an all-round better drummer" - which is exactly what he has been doing. His wealth of experience and knowledge as a drummer, combined with his unique personalable approach to teaching, makes him the ultimate go-to man when it comes to drum tutoring. Not only are the lessons challenging, they're also incredibly enjoyable. The passion I have always had for drums from a very young age has been taken to a whole new level since starting lessons with Chris, and I can honestly say, that I would happily recommend him to anyone of any skill level who is serious about drums.”

“Great enthusiastic teachers in an amazing modern facility. My children started with the Academy several years ago as beginners and one is still playing with the orchestra 8 years on.”

“These socks really helped with alignment when I went to demi-pointes! Highly recommended”
