Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“5+ stars for Priya. Her service and expertise is the best! Priya has been my pharmacist for many years and I would not waste my time going anywhere else. She provides good old fashioned service where she talks to you, gives detailed explanations of medication use, and genuinely cares for you and your health. Priya is a sole operator, and yet still manages to be present and caring for her many customers.”

“Fantastic shows,great performance and wine snacks available . All volunteers and well supported by locals”

“Top quality swim school for children from 6 months upwards. Great teachers and very friendly staff. i recommend this place very highly as it teaches children confidence and great technique from a very early age but is never pushy and your child learns and develops skills at their own pace. I especially enjoy the holiday programs which give a real boost to a child's learning journey. Lessons are half an hour each and when a child is confident going under and floating they no longer need a parent in the pool. The staff are very accommodating if you miss a lesson or have more than one child. And Liz van Welie is full of vision and ideas to make the school better and create and friendly and quality environment. There's a play area inside too. Discounts and offers available - mention my name when you enrol your child if this review has helped you!”

“This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.”

“Our first visit to the new theatre. What an amazing space. Beautifully construction connecting people in many different spaces. The show was fantastic as always. We also had a delicious pizza with sides. We can't wait to go back.”

“As a student doing the diploma in personal training, the institution was very helpful and well informed. They also help with the business sid of this industry which is a big help once you just yourself started. The tutors are awesome and will help and cheerful. Very highly recommend.”

“We held our choir retreat here and Showbiz Christchurch couldn’t have been more helpful and generous with their spaces.”

“5-Star Review for BestStart We couldn’t be happier with the care our baby receives at BestStart! From the very beginning, we’ve felt completely confident leaving our little one in the hands of such kind and dedicated teachers. A special thank you to Tracey and Dani, who always go above and beyond with the babies — their warmth, patience, and genuine love for what they do shines through every day. Tracey and Dani create such a calm, nurturing environment where our baby feels safe, settled, and engaged. It’s clear they take the time to get to know each child individually and build strong, trusting relationships. We love seeing the updates, stories, and little milestones they share with us — it means so much. Thank you, BestStart team, for the incredible work you do, and especially to Tracey and Dani for being absolute superstars. You're making such a positive impact during these precious early years!”

“High school student here. I go there very afternoon to study. Such a great place to study as it is extremely quiet. There also good scenery from some of the windows.”

“Awesome place a bit busy now and then but overall very nice Great for trying to teach kids the road rules (keep to the left)”

“Really good infrastructure and facilities for different sports activities in Rolleston. Well maintained and valuable for the community.”

“Our grand daughter looks fwd to Wednesday every week.”

“My son attends and the coaches are absolutely brilliant. I couldn't recommend them enough.”

“They have a nice big play rooms and lovely teachers. My son loves to go here and he loves his teachers. I am at peace whenever I am at work knowing that my son is very well taken care of. I like the idea that they are serving healthy meals to the babies, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Because not all preschool are offering free food. I love how my son is going home with new learnings that he is showing to us. If ever I would have another baby again, I will definitely enroll in best start again ❤️”

“My babies truly enjoy learning and playing at this school, especially my daughter's teacher, Sarah Cousins. She skillfully nurtures my daughter's love for music, dance, and rhythm. Much gratitude.”

“Really great place to visit. By the cost of usual cinema you'll get an atmosphere of Hollywood Golden Age, with a lot of old posters around.”

“Nice venue. Great that we can come over from Diamond Harbour and enjoy some live performances. Loved seeing Joe Bennett talk about King Lear.”

“Both of my children, Rocco and Billie Mae, have absolutely flourished at this amazing centre. The growth we've seen in their learning, confidence, and social development has been incredible. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely care about each child’s individual journey. What really sets this place apart is how proactive and involved the management is. They're constantly communicating, engaging with families, and creating interactive opportunities that bring everyone together. You can truly feel the passion and dedication from the whole team. I couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to be part of such a supportive and inspiring environment!”

“Highly recommended blossoms educare rolleston for any one looking for child care for there tamariki. The staff are absolutely wonderful and caring towards my current son who attends my daughter graduated last year and my youngest will be starting in July at only 6months old. I love that the centre is multi cultural also they have amazing indoor and outdoor facilities with plenty of room for little ones to play and learn.”

“Staff are fantastic and were excellent in helping my son Jake settle. They were helpful, caring and supportive. Admin staff is excellent. Friendly and efficient”

“Blue Cottage has been incredible community to be part of. What a wonderful childcare environment with such caring staff from the front desk to those working daily with the children. My son had some allergies and the team were incredibly accommodating for us in the trial and error it took to get through that stage. I so appreciated it. There is nothing better for a parent than leaving with full peace of mind your child is ok. Would highly recommend!”

“Great swim school! Well organised & Blair is an awesome coach. Highly recommend!”

“I'm just so impressed with the service and care that we are getting from this centre. My daughter is a very introverted girl who was very shy to teachers and kids, and she just needed extra time to get use to the environment and the new people around her when first enrolled, but I really appreciate the teachers that they never give up on my girl, they keep encouraging my daughter to participate, try new things, and see her grow, letting her know that she's safe in this centre and that she's always welcomed. Every piece of work they do at the centre is so meaningful helping my daughter to learn and grow. Whenever I go pick her up now she's always not willing to leave and that she would share a lot with me on the way home about what she has done for the day. I really cant appreciate more, thank you so much to all the teachers. I would definately recommend this centre to those that are still trying to look for a daycare.”

“PART OF THE FAMILY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Our first born started attending BSB at 6 months old and was there up to his 3rd birthday (we then moved overseas). Our second born also attended from 6 months as a “casual” spot. I can honestly say that the caretakers at BSB in both the nursery and preschool are PHENOMENAL. The nursery holds a special place in my heart, from the day of our visit the team there made me feel so reassured, and loved. They listened to my concerns or worries (mostly about naptime ha!) and made sure to work on a plan with me that would best suit my child. They were great in providing updates and photos every day and I truly felt like they became part of our family. Same goes for the preschool team - I knew my toddler would transition well from babyhood to toddlerhood with their program for the year and their high attention to individual care. Our move to France further confirmed how great BSB did for building essential foundations for my kids. My son, now attending school in France, has gotten so many compliments on his community-spirit, individuality, independence, and patience which are all traits that BSB contributed to developing during his growth there. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. We miss you every day and appreciate all the love and care you gave to our family.”

“Wonderful environment for learning.”

“Great gym great staff and great coach, I entered as a beginner knowing nothing but learnt heaps thanks to the attentive staff and i stepped up to enter one of their fight nights, after that I was able to turn amateur and have more competitive matches and now I have over 20 :) I definitely recommend this gym!”

“My son and I have completed an open water divers course with the awesome team from Dive Zone. We had an awesome experience. Passionate and amazing instructor Niki Wii was so helpful and patient with the young fella as you know they get very easily distracted ha ha. Niki made sure we understood clearly what was expected of us and had his ways to keep our attention. We had a blast thank you Niki. Thanks Dive Zone.”

“The best library in Auckland! Staffs are extremely friendly and helpful. Studying here makes me have a feeling of how times flying. Thanks for all of the staffs!”

“Close view of flight for visitors, landing and take of small planes and helicopters, a nice experience for the kids …!”

“My boys love taking part in the Ignite School holiday programmes. The Greatest Showman, Three Musketeers, Survivor Island - the shows are just awesome. I'm forever amazed at how well the kids do after only 4 days! And so proud of my boys - they love taking part every holidays. The team at Ignite Arts Academy rock ❤”
