Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“I have been to this place twice in the past few years, and on each visit the staff are friendly and welcoming. Dr. Senaa Ali is amazing! She is gentle kind and shows compassion towards her patients . She is the best Dentist I've come across. Professional and not rough when pulling out teeth and so gentle when giving the injection. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends.”

“I recently completed the Lev 6 NZQA micro laser course and couldn't be more impressed. The course content provided comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience. The tutors are excellent! experts in their industry with a supportive teaching approach. If you are serious about offering your clients treatments that are safe and effective, then being trained by Stacey and Ruth is a must. Highly recommended!”

“The staff at Delta Avenue Best start have extensive experience, and my child began attending in December 2023. Since then, he has achieved remarkable milestones with this institution. All the staff are highly professional and provide excellent care, supporting my child’s developmental journey. I would like to express my gratitude to the teachers, particularly Levina, Sheetal and Nazareth. A special acknowledgment goes to Mel and Michelle, who are truly exceptional individuals and consistently go above and beyond for the children.”

“We’ve had a great experience with Cherie as a piano teacher. She creates a supportive and encouraging environment that helps build both confidence and skills. My daughter has made great progress. We highly recommend Cherie.”

“10/10 facility, 11/10 coaches, and 12/10 community. It's amazing what happens when structure meets passion - I had the opportunity to roll with a few guys at every level and learned something from each one of them. Can't recommend this place enough, and I can't recommend the craft in any way that would do it justice. Stop reading reviews, and just show up. You will be welcomed. You will learn. And you will grow!”

“This is the place to be. Sensei Tevita is exceptional. He is very good with the young ones and has a great balance of fun and discipline, resulting in kids sticking with it longer. They offer 3 classes a week and you can go as many or few times as you like. My kids have been attending for about 6 months now and it's been a great decision. I would highly recommend this dojo to other parents who want to get their kid into karate. Well worth it.”

“My daughter loves to stay in palms preschool. She really had fun playing with her friends. It’s a nice daycare, they had heaps of activities for the children where my daughter improves her self esteem. For 6 months of stay, She learns a lot like her communication skills. She is now confident in communicating to other people around her and also for being independent. I was so amazed watching my daughter growing, She really improves a lot. For me as a mother, choosing the nice daycare for your child is important since it will be their second home. I was also amazed the teachers, very passionate in teaching not only in education but also the good values. It is highly recommended.”

“I'm half way through a bootcamp at priority fitness and I can honestly say it's one of the best experiences I've ever had with a gym membership. My clothes are fitting better and I have more energy but more importantly, I look forward to my workouts and it has been a great reliever for my migraine and anxiety symptoms. I sleep better, I eat better and I genuinely feel like I will keep going even after 8 weeks. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and no work out is ever the same. I still have a long way to go but I know if I keep going with priority fitness, I will get there.”

“We just started with Aqua Artist, the teacher is so kind and helpful. At first, my girl was nervous. Just after learning three days, I received the update from staff that my girl can move up to the next level!! I am so happy. I hope my kid will enjoy her swimming classes with Aqua Artist in the future~”

“I've been stringing my rackets here and have also purchased new ones. The owner knows his stuff and offers the best deals in town. Thanks to him, my hybrid racket with natural gut strings feels amazing, even though it doesn't last long in New Zealand's weather. While all strings lose their tension over time, natural gut provides the best feel, even it is expensive. It's totally worth it, though, since he knows exactly how to string it the way I like it. I highly recommend getting your rackets strung by Liam ! Thanks for the deals u give me , I wish I could pay u more for your nice job ! Really appreciate it!”

“Excellent place for research and commercialisation. Linked with the University of Auckland and other crown research institutes in New Zealand. Uni services and Callahan innovation along with MBIE provides the early research and development funding. This is a good model for incubation of startups which are backed by the University research by students and faculty.”

“The pair Charleen and Aita helped us out to get the shopping done for our a little one going to intermediate school. Promotion details were shared to ensure we got the bargain. Highly recommended”

“Excellent gym with great trainers. Been part of the ETK family for a few years now and the experience has been fantastic. The trainers are all experienced and they care about ones journey, be it for fitness, confidence, mental wellbeing or personal growth, they are very supportive. The classes are suited to every level and you'll come out each class feeling great :)”

“The best "Best start " . Love the teachers at babies room- Wendy, Charity & Eden, they are just the best take care so well. The centre manager , admin all are so kind and my kids all happy there”

“During the six months I attended the ITC Botany campus, I felt welcome, made lots of memories, and overall had an amazing experience thanks to the dedication and warmth of both staff and students. Much gratitude to the tutors and to Sam, whose guidance and encouragement went above and beyond, continuing even after my studies were complete. Their ongoing support has been invaluable in helping me navigate my path forward, and I am truly grateful for the exceptional opportunities they have opened up for me. I highly recommend this campus to anyone considering their future in the tourism industry!”

“AMMA is a fantastic place to train! Coach Hamish, Van and Ryan are very knowledgeable and make a great effort to accommodate all skill levels! Great gym environment, cannot recommend it enough.”

“Great school with a great view.”

“I have been going to Gordon for many years. I am an extremely nervous patient and he is amazing. The dental nurses and receptionists are always very friendly and helpful. I have also seen June when Gordon has had the day off and would highly recommend her as well.”

“We toured several daycares before settling on Peekaboo and have been so happy with our choice! The low teacher to child ratios and small nature of the center was what drew us to Peekaboo and we haven't regretted our choice since. Our little one started at 9 months and has absolutely flourished at Peekaboo. The teachers are amazing and we were made to feel welcome and part of the family from the get go. I highly recommend them!”

“The cutest piercing/tattoo studio! Very clean and tidy. My friend and I went in for the 1x free piercing special and the student piercer did AMAZING! She was cool, calm and collected and definitely felt at ease under Robs supervision. They were both very informative about aftercare and answered all my questions (I had a lot... nerves haha). 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!!”

“I feel welcomed and I’m happy to study here.”

“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!!”

“Absolutely incredible, beautiful horses, amazing team and a spectacular experience going from beach to forest, it was an absolute pleasure to be riding on Gizzy. The team have really good explanation on all safety aspects and point out where there could be potential hazards along the way. Going through all sorts of terrain really made this experience incredible, and who knew that your still in West Auckland!”

“An absolute wonderful and inclusive school , very accommodating and caring.”

“I would recommend this preschool without hesitation. My son has absolutely thrived here, and our family will be forever grateful for the warmth, care, and dedication of the teachers. The nurturing environment has supported his growth in so many ways, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to his learning journey”

“Best ECE /Kindergarten in New Zealand. Anchorage Park Kindergarten is the heart and soul of the community. The highly qualified teachers not only provide an amazing space and experience and love for my little ones, but genuinely care about our family as a whole. They catered to the special needs of my children, willing to adapt and try new things to help my children thrive. When new to the area they connected us with other families that have grown into lasting friendships for my children and us as parents. When my spouse went through a mental crisis I felt love and support for our family from them. They connected us to resources and support I couldn't have found on my own. They inquire about my older children, and remember their names despite years gone past since they were at kindy. They supported me in getting back into work. This wonderful team at Anchorage Park Kindergarten cultivates the space for my children to grow, and fosters a loving community so that I, as a parent, grow too.”

“First and foremost the educators at Magic Kingdom in Blockhouse Bay are the most wonderful, genuinely caring nurturers. My little ‘pandemic baby’ had a total of three play dates before starting daycare at 11 months old and they made they transition for him (and me!) a positive and stress free experience. The core values and beliefs of Magic Kingdom align to my own as a parent, and knowing that my child is receiving a quality education based on those principles is important. I feel that the educators are just as invested in my child’s growth as a whole person, as I am. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and would highly recommend Magic Kingdom to anyone looking for childcare.”

“I run a sport and movement programme for the children at New Shoots Hillcrest and have loved working with the centre, their staff and children. The staff always do the utmost to ensure the children's needs are met and they are well cared for and I can see the strong relationships and nurturing bonds built between staff and child to allow them to thrive and grow in the environment. The facilities are great and enable the children to express themselves both indoors and outdoors and build friendships with the children in their respective rooms.”

“I've been lucky to to call Mariposa Kids my home for the last 12 years and counting! We are a close knit team, who will go the extra mile for our children and their families. If you are looking for a home away from home, look no further Mariposa is where you want to be. Highly Recommend”

“I am grateful that both of my children growing up in Little Kiwis. My daughter started at 15 months and my son started at 11 months. I feel happy to see them waving to me and saying "goodbye mummy". Because I know that their needs and their feelings will be seen and be good taken care of by the teachers. Also, my daughter successfully passed 2interviews of private primary schools this year, and she was praised by the school principal. They think she's well educated and well trained. I want to thank every teacher at Little Kiwis for their dedication, and I thank God's love in there .”
