91 Bloom Early Learning and Play
“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!”

“The staff here are extremely caring and nurturing!! After having to move daycares over 1.5 years ago I was worried about both of my children not being able to settle. However, my daughter who is extremely introverted, began to thrive within weeks here as they picked up on the things that helped her feel safe and comfortable straight away. I have always felt so supported by the team, including the owner shaz and management team. Everyone has been so flexible with our changing routine and shared custody arrangement between both me and the kids dad. Very grateful for the aroha that pours from this centre.”
