Child center in Tauranga

“Pūtauaki is a welcoming environment where tamariki have the opportunity to learn through play. A place where the team works in partnership with whānau, taking a collaborative approach that places tamariki at the center of everything we do.”

“Our 2 year-old absolutely loves her time at Seedlings! Huge outdoor space which is perfect for her adventurous nature! All the teachers have been absolutely incredible, so kind and caring. Excellent communication and recieve regular updates! 5+++++”

“Central Kids Glenshea Kindergarten Putaruru has been fantastic for us. The staff have all been professional, warm and welcoming from the start and it is evident they work together like a well oiled machine. They provide the care and attention that the kindy age require and I can leave knowing our little one is in good hands. From what I have seen both in my own child and the children on the floor at pick up and drop off, every need is well and truely met. The facilities are great and the children participate in an array of fun activities to help create a solid foundation for school. Teachers provide periodic feedback on our child’s progress and make themselves available for discussion about any concerns we might have. 10/10 recommend for any parents looking to enrol their child here!”

“Quick trip, in and out. Found what I needed easily - a new bedside lamp. No hassles waiting at the checkout. Polite and friendly service. Super happy with my lamp, and the price. Love it! ❤️”

“I went there yesterday for a couple of things I needed. I spoke to a couple of their staff, one at customer service, unfortunately I did not get his name, but he was super helpful. When he realised that what I was looking for is not availablr at that warehouse he gave me some options—places I could go to. Another staff helped me find what I was looking for. It was a good experience for me. They were nice and helpful.”

“Kidiwise is the best daycare around! Our friends in other areas are so jealous of what our son gets up too! It’s not about being the top looking with fake trees its about kids being kids, creating, building, exploring their own native bush weekly! Pony rides, hatching chickens and swimming in the spa! We can’t recommend kidiwise enough we love the imagination it lets our son have and the teachers who support him.”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful environment at BestStart. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting here—she’s building friendships, enjoying a wide variety of activities, and most importantly, feels a real sense of belonging. The teachers are warm, patient, and encouraging, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children. We can see every day how much our daughter enjoys coming to daycare, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is not only having fun but also learning important skills along the way. Thank you to the entire BestStart team for the love, effort, and positivity you bring—it truly makes such a difference. We couldn’t be prouder of child and more thankful for the supportive environment she’s surrounded by.”

I really feel like he is in a safe and caring environment where he’s able to thrive and learn and play to his hearts content. I'm so grateful to have such wonderful people I can leave him with and know he is being truly looked after.”

“My son has been in New Shoots Sandhurst for almost 3 years. From Pipi as a baby, now in Taniwha as a young man :) His brother will soon be joining him there to start his journey. I can attest to the great management of Meg and the devotion of all the teachers. Even though we have moved away, we won’t move him out of the centre because he loves it sooo much. Thanks team!”
