“Noel was a clear and direct communicator who consistently provided sound, fact-based advice. He made time to meet in person whenever possible, which added a personal touch to the process. His persistence was admirable, and he instilled confidence at every stage, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Noel’s hands-on approach, I was able to take a step back and trust that everything was being handled with care. He kept me well-informed throughout, and most importantly, in an incredibly tough market, he delivered a result that exceeded all expectations”

“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❤️”

“Our 8yo daughter has been dancing with Suzanne for 3 years and she loves it. She has additional needs and I was nervous to allow her to sit exams but with Suzanne's encouragement and expert guidance she has sat two and done amazingly well! Suzanne is a patient, fun and kind teacher who oozes passion for dance. She goes above and beyond to ensure her students feel comfortable and are achieving their best. I appreciate the small friendly vibe of the dance school and that parents are welcome to sit in during classes. The show is an annual highlight and is always amazing, and it's lovely to do it mid-year instead of during December madness. Thank you Suzanne from someone who never wanted to be a dance mum!”

As first time buyers, we didn't fully understand what was involved, so Nick's guidance was a huge help. If you're looking to buy/sell property around Tauranga, we would strongly recommend The Firm.”

“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!”
