Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“My son loves going to the classes! Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. Also had a few conversations with the instructors, they are really passionate with what they do. Highly recommend :)”

“Gorgeous heritage building, friendly staff, great environment”

“Wonderful art classes for kids, our son has been going and loves it.”

“Our child has been at Cotswold Kidsfirst for just over a year and it's been so great for his development. The teaching staff are experienced professionals who know how to bring the best out of your child. Every day he looks forward to going to kindy. I would recommend kindy to any family considering it, it's such an amazing environment for tamariki.”

“My favourite building at UC, the light let in by large windows and open plan is amazing.”

“Professional and friendly staff”

“I attended two classes, both the beginner and intermediate courses and was very impressed with the instructors. They were friendly, inclusive, informative, and articulate, especially when it came to explaining the finer details and trouble-shooting around the more complex techniques. They also did a great job to not take themselves too seriously and sprinkled a fair bit of humor and lightheartedness into the class as well. A very enjoyable experience and I recommend anyone interested in Latin dance to give them a shot. Even though I had a fair amount of experience, I still learned a great deal from just those two classes.”

“Julie is an amazing coach and I always feel wonderful after her yoga and flow yoga classes. She creates such a sense of deep calm and positivity in a totally supportive manner. My flexibility and balance have improved and I am better able to relax. I had never tried yoga nidra before and each class is a wonderful experience. I can't recommend Julie highly enough. Pam”

“Such a fun centre for my child she has thrived, they support her emotionally and socially and always have super fun learning experiences out for the children to engage with!”

“Our two children went here, and although we knew they would be there for only few weeks due to my partner’s work - the relationship they’ve built with teachers and the way they felt so comfortable to be themselves in such a short period is AMAZING. All teachers are absolutely amazing, very warm yet professional. It does confirm that quality beats quantity. Thank you, dear teachers and dear tamariki, for sharing this moment in time with us! ❤️ Thanks to those personalised books we’ll remind kids about this incredible time of their lives, and I’ll for sure never forget how kind and helpful you all were to all of us!”

“The team is absolutely top notch. Favilities are great and our child loves all the outdoor activities and space provided. Keep up the great work!”

“We visited a lot of daycares in the area and chose the YMCA because we loved the community feel. The kids are always out and about, taking part in activities and visiting places like the gym, library and park. Our daughter took some time settling in but the teachers have been wonderful with her and now she has really found her feet and has made some great friends. We love the Y :)”

“Our daughter goes here, great family atmosphere, very welcoming! She loves it!”

“Love this place. Amazing for the wee ones 5/5”

“The first moment we walked in to Beststart Prestons we felt very welcomed. The teachers and staff are so genuinely caring and really take the time to get to know the children. There are plenty of engaging projects that the children love getting involved in. I have loved seeing the friendships develop between the kids. The teachers have helped so much with giving my son confidence and getting him prepared for school. The meals are fantastic and its great to know my son has had a healthy meal and maybe tried some new foods too! Storypark makes it's easy to see all the great things they are doing during the day, the friendships they make and the progress they're making too. A wonderful preschool, it makes the tough job of not being with my son while I'm working a whole lot easier knowing that he is so happy and well cared for.”

“The staff are amazing settling in my toddler. You can tell they are actually passionate about their job and care.”

“Whether you’re training to compete or just want to learn jiu jitsu, Axis Rolly and Coach Dan are where it's at. It's a welcoming environment with great facilities and everyone is treated equal. If you're a woman who wants to try out jiu jitsu, I can't recommend Rolly enough! Not to mention your jiu jitsu gains will increase ten-fold...”

“I have been with this ECE for 4 years and I highly recommend. My child started as a 1 year old and has just graduated. They are excellent in all areas including communication which is so important to me and our whānau. If you are looking for more than a "daycare" then this is for you. With highly skilled and kind staff, your child is in the best hands.”

“I was just feeling Nostalgic and remembered all the great memories I had at this kindy, I dont know how much has changed now but when I was there 9-12 years ago it was the perfect kindy to make friends and memories at, thank you for starting my life off with a nice start”

“I don't have children here but have been a close neighbour since 1999. It has always been busy, with frequent improvements and the people attending have been friendly. I've posted a more recent photo to show how the mural has brightened up the place.”

“highly recommended excellent facility clean and tidy well educated staff members spent my time here well doing work placement”

“Excellent facilities and hospitality.”
