Kindergarten in Papamoa

“I have had 2 children age out of this centre in the last year. We will miss them very much, has been a great extention of our whanau/daily life. The staff are all wonderful and treat each child like they would their own. Vicky is an amazing woman and runs the centre with so much care and Aroha. Thanks team my kids are lucky to have had you x”

“New shoots has been an amazing place for my daughter. Since leaving another daycare, the process and transition for my family has been amazing. My daughter is so settled and happy there, she now wakes up and wants to go! The staff are all so kind and caring, the facilities are great, the outdoor area is a paradise of exploring for all the little ones, my daughter no only tells me about her meals each day but also about all the activities she does and is thriving. Everything you want in a centre.”

“Papamoa kindergarten has been great for my son. He has learnt so much and has a great relationship with all of the staff. I struggled with toilet training my son even though I had started him early, once I started to make some progress I let the kindy teachers know and they maintained his toileting even with him being difficult. He was toilet trained within the next few months. We also had trouble with him going through a hitting phase but with the support, understanding and help of the kindy teachers it didn't become a bigger issue and soon died down. I always feel very comfortable hanging around the kindy when picking him up and being right next to the primary school, I feel as though I'll have no trouble transitioning my son when he turns 5. I'm so grateful to have chosen Papamoa kindergarten for my boy.”

“Excellent kindy, wonderful staff.”

“Excellent kindy, wonderful staff.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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❤️”

“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!”

“Exceptional Centre. Great ratios, kind caring staff and a truely welcoming little community. Highly recommend.”

“Our little girl is so happy at Central Kids. She has made some lovely friends and is happy to leave home and go to kindy every single day. The kaiako are so welcoming and friendly, we appreciate all their communication and all special community events they hold. Xxx”

“Child’s Wonder has been our daughters second home from the age of 6 moths old. The entire CW team are professional, caring and we trust them to provide the best care, love and education for our girls.”

“Best Learning school for kids and great staff. Strongly recommend.”

“Our son has been attending to this wonderful Preschool, and we don't have enough good adjectives to describe how exceptional this place is, with a team of teachers that take care of the kids as good or even better than us, the parents. The atmosphere is always happy and unpretentious, the warmth of every single member of the team is contagious and our son will struggle to find a kinder environment. Thank you so much”

“We absolutely love the ECE centre our children attend! The teachers are friendly and always create a warm, welcoming environment. The outdoor space is fantastic, providing plenty of room for the kids to play and explore. Plus, the creative activities they organise are both fun and educational.”

“My daughter has been given the best start to her learning journey because of the staff at 4woods. Highly recommend”

“My son attended Montessori Milestones for 3 years. With the support of the kind, caring, attentive teachers he really blossomed and developed into a confident, self-aware, considerate and curious little boy. We loved that there was only a small number of children attending. MM offers a secure, un-busy, rich learning environment where the children are taught all sorts of meaningful life skills and can follow their own interests. My son always looked forward to his days there and loved his teachers. Thank you so much Kathryn, Raewyn and team!”

“Seven years. That’s how long Bloom has been part of our family, and now that my son has finished daycare, it feels surreal to say goodbye. To Fiona, Olivia (our incredible manager), Sharleen, Marieke, Sonya, Sarah, Lucy, Shaleece, Vanessa—and anyone I may have missed—I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am. Bloom has been the absolute best place to entrust my children, and the love, care, and support you’ve given us over the years means everything. Fiona, you’ve been like a nana to my kids. Vanessa, I’ll never forget how you helped me toilet train Victoria. Olivia, you were there to help me give Victoria her first bottle at 11 months old. Sonya, you’ve been an incredible educator for my son. And Lucy—Luce—Stefan adores you. Every single one of you brilliant women has played such a special role in our lives. Thank you for not just looking after my babies, but for supporting our whole family. We will miss you all so much!”

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

“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.”

“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.”
