“My son attended this daycare from about 21 months to 42 months. Due to our family moving, we are no longer able to send him here, but I have always recommended this place to my neighbors and friends, hoping that others will know about it as well. My child really loved the teachers and friends here. As a parent, I also appreciated how the teachers always provided updates on what happened with my child each day. Melissa, who handles reception, was always kind and gave us helpful information. Additionally, the food for the children is excellent. All the teachers there care for the kids with love. Through this post, I would like to express my gratitude once again.”

“Such amazing people here, my kid loves it here. He gets excited to go to sleep just to go to little cubs the next day! Thank you for being so great to my kid.”

“It's a little school in the country”

“My daughter is very lucky to have attended Duke. Even before making an attendance decision, Christine listened to us and offered close consultations to us. She even contacted international student directors of all our prospective high schools so that we could make appointments and start smooth communications with them. Every one of the directors knew Christine and Duke very well because Duke was the language school they send their international students whenever necessary. They told us to rest assured because they observed students attended Duke made great progress in a short term. Also, Duke provides students’ level assessment results to the high schools, which are internally used to help students in those high schools. I’ve heard their relation is more than two decades, which is very solid. Before conferring with Duke, we had been relying on uncertain info available on the internet. But with their help, we could successfully find the most suitable school for my daughter, which I believe was impossible without them. If you are considering sending your son/daughter to top schools in northern Auckland, a safe, beautiful area suitable for academic study, I think Duke is the first and only choice. I have also visited the host family Duke has introduced on the day my daughter’s stay starts. They were very welcoming, lovely family. I was very happy that we could use such a nice network of host families they organize. My daughter occasionally sends pictures of her with her family in Auckland, and she looks happy. Everyday lesson at Duke is perfect, too. My daughter admits her pronunciation and speaking improved greatly. She told me her teacher is great. She points out errors and corrects them immediately, and leaves nobody behind. Everybody in the class is also always committed and willing to speak up thanks to her. That’s what more than I expected, honestly. My daughter had been a shy girl who didn’t speak up in front of others frequently, but now she does, and she seems to be enjoying it. My daughter will start her high school from term 1 next year. I can imagine that studying abroad is not very easy for a teenage girl who studies far away from home, but I’m sure that it has been made a bit easier now thanks to staff and teachers at Duke.”

“The team at Skin Institute Albany are so professional and I’ve had nothing but great experiences here! I’ve seen both Aimee and Dr Steph. They both are very thorough and explain your plan for your personal needs/skin. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be back!”

“Very nice small airport. Private use only”

“Such a great wholesome school with an amazing principal. One of the only schools I’ve worked at where I use to look forward to assemblies. It’s also the only school where I’ve worked where at the end of the week I felt uplifted rather then deflated. Parents are mostly VERY supportive. In the six months I was there I saw genuine positive change in all of the new students. Truely a school blessed by God.”

“Nice campus and good tutors as well”

“It's a very good program for students”

“Good school and caring teachers.”

“My child started attending Piccolo Park Daycare Center around mid-January this year. As a parent, I was initially very concerned about the transition period, but the center’s manager, Zoe, and the teachers in Wai One classroom—especially Neesha and Katrina—handled the initial visits with great patience and flexibility. As a result, my child was able to quickly adapt to the new environment and begin learning new things. I really love the environment here. The center is housed in a historic homestead, so the outdoor area features many fruit trees, a vegetable garden, an outdoor play area, and a sandpit. The indoor classrooms are spacious and bright, with lots of toys for the children to play with. The teachers at the center regularly organize different activities for the children, such as dressing up as a favorite character during Book Week, and special events for Mother’s Day. Children here get to experience a rich and diverse culture. Finally, I want to thank all the teachers for their patience and dedication. I highly recommend Piccolo Park to other parents.”

“Just joined. Great staff, great coaches. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Best decision I've made. My daughter loves it.”

“We absolutely love our daughter attending Te Kōhanga Reo o Pukeroihi. I love their approach in all areas of caring for our tamariki and just love that my girl is able to be submerged in her reo and learn as she grows. Big mihi to the kaiako here, love all the mahi they do.”

“I saw Ivan yesterday on short notice for a calf strain ahead of a marathon this weekend. Both he and the lady at reception were kind, clear and welcoming. Ivan has good technical knowledge and was able to provide realistic advice and guidance on managing the injury. I'll be back in future and would highly recommend the Active+ team to anyone.”

“We love swimgym howick. Both of our children are currently enrolled in the learn to swim programmes. They are both thriving and I cannot believe how well they are swimming. We have been lucky enough to have extremely skilled teachers over the last four years who have built relationships with my children and encouraged them to love swimming and be safe in the water. Highly recommend Leah, Amy and the team at swimgym Howick.”

“Excellent principal, great supportive community.”
