“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 .”

“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.”

“This is my daughter’s second daycare, and she started here at 2 years old. To my surprise, she loves Honey Bees from the very first day. we don’t even need a transition period! While I was a worried mum calling many times on her first day, she was super happy, settled quickly, and has made so many friends. She absolutely adores her teachers, especially Juliana, Marisa, and Nicolette. At home, she even copies Juliana and explains things to me just like her teachers do. Every morning she is welcomed with cuddles, smiles, and praise, which makes her so excited to go in. Since starting, she has also begun talking a lot more, which is amazing to see. All the teachers (Karen, Alana) are wonderful, caring, and always quick to reply to any emails or questions. My daughter truly loves Honey Bees and her teachers.”

“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.”

“My daughter start Best Start Manukau from 6 months of age and now she is turning 5 soon. I love to see my daughter looking forward to go to her preschool even on weekends. All of the staff at the centre are so loving and caring. I have seen my daughter growing up and achieving her milestones. They also do fantastic home cooked food each day , I can say there is a very family oriented atmosphere . Having experienced all 3 rooms during my daughter time there I can say with assurance the teachers are very supportive and understandable that give us more confident that our child is safe and secure. would highly recommend best start Manukau to anybody who is looking for care.”

“Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and easy-going. Highly recommend this gym.”

“We just started with Aqua Artist, the teacher is so kind and helpful. At first, my girl was nervous.

I hope my kid will enjoy her swimming classes with Aqua Artist in the future~”

It is out of the way for us now, but we are continuing here because she is very happy and enjoys and learns with her wonderful teachers and friends. Would highly recommend Beststart Parnell :)”

“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.”

“Apple Tree Preschool is a fantastic place with caring and friendly teachers who greet you warmly when you arrive and leave everyday. They provide daily verbal updates about your child at the end of the day and monthly stories that highlight their progress. The staff take sickness seriously, keeping families informed about any illnesses at the preschool and encouraging caution to keep everyone safe. They also offer hot, healthy lunches along with morning and afternoon teas every day. Overall, it’s a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where both children and parents feel supported.”

“My son is in tui room and he had a fantastic experience with Best Start Ascot. The teachers are warm, professional, and caring. They are also flexible in terms of schedule changes and will acknowledge your concerns. The range of activities keeps the children engaged and supports both their creativity and learning. Most importantly, I feel confident knowing that my child is in a safe, nurturing environment. I highly recommend this center especially for those who are unsure whether to start their child on daycare or not.”
