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”

“We’ve had such a great experience with JUMP Swim School. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that really makes you feel like part of the family. Maria, Tony and the staff are genuinely caring and focused on the well-being and progress of each child, not just ticking boxes. The class sizes are small, which means every child gets the attention they need to grow in confidence and skill, helping kids thrive in the water. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a swim school that’s not only professional but also personal and nurturing.”

“I recently visited Redefined for Rest & Restore class, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was so calming, the instructor was wonderful, and I left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind and recharge!”

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.”

“A really wonderful community hub. I came here for a hot shower and ended up making friends, running into old friends, and then staying for the community dinner. The centre is well organized, well lit, friendly, and truly community driven. There is food and hot showers for everyone, and food to take away. I really enjoyed myself and although the shower could do with some extras, it is hot and is just what you need when you've been bathing in a cold stream for 6 months! Cheers to the staff and volunteers at Aritaki community hub. You are the true people who make the world spin and my heart goes out to you. Next I am there, My hands will jump in to help, too.”

“Small and cosy, great for having a quiet movie night.”

“Excellent kindy, wonderful staff.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great swim school and incredible progress in such a short time! The manager and swim teachers are amazing as well as the ability to book make up lessons if we are unable to attend our normal classes. Highly recommend!”

“An amazing school and teachers, all so friendly and caring. My son finally loves school. Best move I've ever made.”

“Perfect!!! I popped in and chatted with the woman whose name I missed but I think she was titled Beautician Manager or something? She was super helpful and knew exactly what she was talking about. I was having issues with dandruff and itchyness for quite sometime and at my wit's end and she sorted it for me and I am incredibly grateful. Thanks!”
