Children's entertainment center in Tauranga

“Great place, awesome people awesome vibe 100% reccomend”

“It's such an awesome daycare and lovely staff. Our little boy loves Ako Learning so much. Highly recommended. ❤️”

“We have used the center in the past for our eldest child but unfortunately had to change it for a time. Now, we have returned, this time with our younger child as well. The center is highly flexible in accommodating our work schedule, always ready to assist, and most importantly, our son loves going there.”

“I have been so impressed by the team at New Shoots Tauranga and all the wonderful care they provide for my daughter. They provide excellent care to a very high standard, yet maintain a gentle and playful nature. My daughter started when she was very young and the extra time and consideration they gave to my whanau was deeply appreciated. As a new mum, the kiwi room team quickly became an extended part of our whanau which made the transition to daycare so much easier. They have been consistently outstanding and I couldn't be more grateful to have found such an awesome daycare for my daughter. They regular photo updates and nutritional meals are amongst the many wonderful things they provide!”

“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!”

“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.”

“The staff at Omokoroa Preschool are simply lovely. From the moment you enter, you can sense the positive energy. My 3 year old Autistic granddaughter settled in straight away. Staff were very accommodating and gave her space to explore. She loves attending her sessions.”

“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.”

“Thankyou to all the amazing team that has supported my 2 kids from babies through to school aged i cannot recommend enough for the love and support we have felt over the years and the opportunities the kids have gotten to be apart of. Thankyou again❤️”

“Outstanding commitment to top quality early childhood education. Can't recommend them 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.”

“Great facilities and staff. Our 5 year old's confidence and ability has skyrocketed!”

“Lollipops Papamoa is a fantastic childcare centre! Our daughter has an absolute blast there, and the staff are so wonderful and caring with her and all the other kids. I would recommend Lollipops to anyone!”

“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!”

“It was nice been able to go n get some food without feeling judged”

“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.”

“Had the most amazing experience recently! On the 10th September I went in an was served by I delightful man who was talkative, kind and ultimately talked me into buying a 3 in one girls jacket. Unfortunately my car got broken into that Friday and the jacket was stolen. I rang up to enquire about getting a digital receipt send through and I was greeted by a delightful lady who was so kind and helpful (she even rang me back to make sure I recieved my receipt). I am actually blown away by the outstanding customer service! Thanks guys!!”

“Laser tag is great! Had a group of 13 adults for a birthday and it was still a decently spacious arena for us all. Staff were great too! Called in advance to book it out as we were a bigger group.”

“I had an amazing stay. I was traveling solo and I always felt very safe and looked after. The location is absolutely stunning, the view breathtaking, the room was spotlessly clean. The team was very helpful and supportive, very caring and positive. I really raccomend this place.”

“Great customer service. New store structure really makes the store pop.”

“Events are usually quite organised and well staffed”

“The place itself is fantastic! A cute little village vibe to wander and engage with local artists and businesses. Unfortunately we went to the cafe and I chose the salmon quiche- which turned out to be a bacon quiche. There was no salmon in the quiche at all, just the one piece on the top. So our dogs enjoyed a treat, while I got a bad taste in my mouth about the Cafe there.”

“We wanted to say a massive thank you to Nyree in the furniture department for her exceptional service. When we called at 9:30am about a warranty claim, she went above and beyond by immediately contacting the supplier and arranging a direct replacement. By 10:45am - just over an hour later - our new item was ready for pickup at Tauranga Farmers. Her efficiency and dedication to resolving our issue so quickly was truly outstanding. Thank you Daniel Prince”

“If you're needing all sorts of items and be very cost effective also then this is the place to shop”

“We love Best Start. The facilities are a little worn and old but the staff are incredible and they make the centre an amazing place for my kiddo. They're always engaged and there are always great activities available and they genuinely care for the children attending.”

“Big space great for my zumba class”

“Great range of toys including lego here and the staff are really helpful. I wanted to buy figurines for play therapy with children and the staff member was able to show me on their online services exactly what i was looking for. Well done Toyworld Fraser Cove”
