Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“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.”

“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.”

“Purchased Evo 12 m2 aluula DLab kite, it handled 20 gusting 24 kts at Brighton pier with ease. My old 2020 model could not do that”

“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.”

“Big thanks to Rodney and the team at Tie Up Aviation for such a warm welcome and an awesome first lesson! The whole experience was super professional, I felt really safe the entire time, and the views were just incredible. The aircraft was in great condition and easy to feel comfortable in. Can’t wait to continue my PPL journey with them soon!”

“Great advice and assistance. Nice phone manner and in-person help. They had the the one part that no-one else locally had - saved me a trip into town. Didn't realise Calder/Jaycar were in Rangiora, will use them as first-point from now on.”

“Had the best dental care I have received yesterday, called up in the morning with a toothache and was able to get in the same day for an extraction. Explained to the dentist that I was very anxious and she was very gentle with the procedure. (I can't remember dentist name sorry) thank you very much!”

“This is a great nature walk for people of all ages and great for dog owners except those who don't adhere to the rules by letting there dogs of the leash which I saw today while walking my dog it only takes one incident of an attack of any kind and legislation will bank dogs from entering the park there are plenty of signs informing dog owners that dogs must be on a leash at all times while in the park and for those few who ignore this simple rule jeopardize the park for the rest of us dog owners who use the place to exercise our pets thanks lady you know who you are”

“Im sorry my 1st review was the wrong SC. Huge shout-out to the wonderful ladies (I wish I got the names), from reception (young pregnant lady) preparation nurse (bluish hair, I think Sandy ) discharge nurse (I hope Suzanne) my apologises if wrong, your mannerism, very polite, caring and especially understanding. Johns surgeon, amazing, spoke easy, clear and words we understood. Yous all made our visit so comfortable as we didn't feel uncomfortable once. Thank yous all for the amazing service, and we a very very much appreciated. God Bless.”

“Our family joined LDA this year, and we've been made so welcome. Not having a foundation in dance, I have a lot of questions and the team do such a brilliant job of answering them - or preempting them with detailed communication. Our dancer is so happy to attend each week, adores her teacher and the friends she has made. She has shown growth in not only her dance but in her poise, confidence and desire to learn. The teaching is well structured and the teachers are passionate about their craft. The standards and rules within the studio environment help create a cohesive vibe - and the special dress up days are a highlight each term!”

“The university of Waikato is a way to learn about international relations and security - however they do not talk about the pivotal role the Roman Catholic Church system plays in international politics!”

“Great place always available to the public. Stop here to unwind and have sushi on the way home from Cambridge.”

“Great care : Due to an accident, my 3 year old had to have her two front teeth removed. You were amazing with her (and me), from entering your service to aftercare. I can’t speak highly enough of the service we received! I’ve also been myself and more than happy with any dealings and would very much recommend your practice. Thank you”

“It is with a heavy heart that we learned of Cornerstone Alpaca Stud’s upcoming closure next month. From Singapore, we extend our deepest gratitude for the unforgettable experience and warm hospitality we received during our visit. The story of how Dave and Sonja transformed a simple piece of land into a haven for alpacas & llamas, guided by their faith and the Almighty’s vision, is truly inspiring and a testament to their dedication. Our time at Cornerstone was nothing short of magical. Interacting with the friendly, and occasionally shy, alpacas and llamas was a joy that warmed our hearts especially the little one. A special shout-out to Sam and (I believe) Gunther—please forgive me if I’ve gotten the name wrong—Their enthusiasm for educating us of these friendly alpacas made our visit truly memorable. The Cornerstone Kitchen was not open but thanks for the lovely recommendation to try Woodlands Estate which is a few minutes away. We also loved browsing the Alpaca Shop, where the hand-felted scarves and other alpaca products showcased the care and artistry behind this unique farm. Thank you, Cornerstone Alpaca Stud, for creating such a beautiful space and sharing it with the world. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who visited. We wish Dave, Sonja, and the entire team all the best in their future endeavors. Hope the beautiful alpacas, llamas are in good hands. Please visit Cornerstone if you want to be a shepherd to the friendly alpacas.”

“Love this centre and the staff. My son started attending at 4months old and they have made me feel comfortable since day”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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)”

“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 ❤”

“Two of us took our three granddaughters to Frozen the musical, they loved it! Great cast fantastic singing and dancing. Looks like this theatre really look after their teenage actors,”

“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!”

“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.”

“Gorgeous building with a real atmosphere of learning and development. Superb staff who are seriously helpful and always with a smile. Check out their spaces for hire too, heaps of very well equipped options. An amazing asset for Tauranga Moana.”
