Child center in Tauranga

“Great friendly staff and nice Plunket group too”

“Most amazing Early Learning Centre!! My kids are enjoying every second of their time there!! Definitely the TOP Early Learning Centre to consider when choosing one for your tamariki. Without any doubt this centre has the BEST teachers!!”

“Great staff and center, my girls love going each week. The staff encourage them to thrive have fun and feel safe, Highly recommend this Best Start.”

“We have been part of the Kids Campus whānau since 2020, when our son started childcare at 6 months old. From our very first visit we have had nothing but a positive experience. Kids Campus has a small intimate space for babies, and a beautiful over twos space with a large outdoor area. With low ratios, long serving staff and little staff turnover, building and maintaining meaningful relationships is Kids Campus’s superpower! The centre offers care that is an extension of home building on whānau aspirations and extending on what each child brings to the centre. The environment is always set beautifully to offer a range of activities, extending on planning displayed and the current interests of the children. We cannot recommend Kids Campus highly enough!

“Both my girls go to charles kindy, they have an amazing space to play inside and outside. All the teachers are great, they are so patient and caring with the kids, always making sure they have a hat on when outside.”

“We’re really happy with Busy Bees Papamoa! The teachers are so lovely and caring, and my daughter enjoys going every day. It’s such a warm and welcoming place, and we feel lucky to have found it.”

“Bro shout out to the best worker there @cara or @kara not too sure how to spell her name soz. But love you long time thanks for the perfume samples that I got for my Christmas present she needs to be store manager asap”

“Highly recommend!! My daughter absolutely loves the place!!”

“Our 15 year old son completed the listening programme over the last six months.  Prior to the programme he struggled to focus at school, make and keep friends and was highly anxious.  We have seen improvement in all these areas including actually getting school work completed and submitted for the first time in several years.   He is much calmer now and has improved communication with others, including slowing his speech down so people can actually understand him now.  He started playing football again after a 5 year break and thoroughly enjoyed it.  He is a much happier young man!  We are so appreciative of the team at DLC - they were patient with us and supported us all the way.  We're really pleased we heard about this programme - it has made a difference for our son and the entire family. Thank you to the team at DLC.”

“Awsome center, friendly staff. Supportive & nurturing. Great service providers. My Son loves it!”

“Amazing!!!.Lovely Team my little one loves going!!!”

“I have had a great experience with all the staff at BestStart Coast Boulevard so far and feel that they are providing my daughter with a fun, encouraging and caring environment.”

“Very friendly staff. The children are very well looked after, safe and have a great space for learning and growing. Parents are well informed through the app about events and activities. Great atmosphere all round. Recommended service.”

“Fiona and her team are passionate and caring to our children. My husband and I have been grateful for their help towards taking care of our children despite our busy schedule. They are very flexible and reliable. This daycare is irreplaceable. They are the best in Tauranga.”

“If you are looking for a kindy that is welcoming and has open arms for your children this kindy is definitely worth a look at, they have a beautiful outdoor area and great indoor space. Highly recommended!”

“Highly recommend this daycare! Your child will be loved and cared for. Couldn't fault them at all. All the teachers had such a great relationship with my son and he loved every single one of them. There was never a moment I worried about him going there and not being safe. The center is very well set out and has a great outdoor area for little ones to play and explore.”

“Please note these pictures are not of the Bayfair BestStart, as it's under construction. Also they only open around March or April 2023”

“Shout out to the male staff member (sorry we didn’t get your name) on Sunday afternoon @ papamoa store. We needed a new tv remote after our doggies had destroyed the original. Thank you for guiding us to them & making sure we had the right one. Great customer service. Well done.”

“Absolutely love this daycare, lovely staff, beautiful grounds and a homely atmosphere.”

“absolutley love busy bees espcially since the new managment has taken over, my son has settled so well and they do a bunch of different things and he always comes home happy. they respect my wishes and i dont think i could find a better centre. the outdoor area is huge and thats important to our family. busy bees is likie an extention of the family”

“Our experiences at Kaleidoscope has been amazing. After 4 years with Kaleidoscope, we are very sad to say goodbye as our girl heads off to school. Kaleidoscope staff have been nothing but welcoming, supportive, friendly and loving all while providing a stable educational setting for our daughter to grow and flourish into the individual she is. They have always taken the time to support her in her interests and develop her with skills that have set her up for a smooth transition into school. I would recommend Kaleidoscope to anyone who is looking for a home away from home.”

“Great spot for kids. We have both of ours in there, and the kaioko have been amazing with them and updating us when we need to know or otherwise ask. The opening hours are great too as it allows for parents with long working hours. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely lady Irene running the playgroup. Lots of toys and a welcoming relaxed group atmosphere. Even a bikkie and cuppa!”

“Very friendly staff and my kid loves it there...recommend to others as well. Cheers :)”

“An absolutely incredible facility for parents and caregivers. Hilary guided us through their antenatal course and I cannot thank her enough. Empowering and life changing!”

“Our daughter went to Imagine that for 3 years and we really loved it. She was happy there, the teachers really followed the children’s interests. It was a really nice feeling walking in and knowing that your daughter would have had a day full of experiences and fun. They also really acknowledged and supported her culture when possible also”

“Absolutely Outstanding! I cannot speak highly enough of Above & Beyond Castle Tauriko. My son attends this centre, and from day one, the care, love, and support he has received has blown me away. Sam and the entire team of teachers are simply incredible — warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness. Even though we don’t live or work in the area, we continue to travel to the Castle every day because nothing else compares. The way they care for my son gives me total peace of mind — I know he’s not only safe but thriving in their hands. The environment is fun, enriching, and full of heart, and the connection the staff create with families is something truly special. I’m also so thankful that Above and beyond worked with me and held my sons place in the daycare while I searched for a new job once I was made redundant, they went literally above and beyond for me and my son and I love going to pick up my son and see the teachers and see how happy my boy is Thank you so much for everything”
