Sport & School & Kindergarten in Tauranga

“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”

“I have attended Studio Five 0 for 3.5 years and cannot rate it more highly. Sonya is an incredible teacher. She is warm, attentive and has a special way of getting the most out of you at each session while having a laugh together at the same time. Doing weekly classes with Sonya during and after my three pregnancies helped me immensely.”

“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”

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

“I would highly recommend Rachael from Bay driving school as a driving Instructor. She is very calm and patient and has taught me to be a safe and confident driver. I felt really confident after my first lesson with Rachael. She teaches all the details and points that we need to take care of while driving. Many thanks to Rachael for building up my confidence.”

“Excellent kindy, wonderful staff.”

“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.”

“Great gym with high level coaching and a family atmosphere. Highly recommend”

“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!”

“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!”

“I am an ex student at this school and I must ay that is was an amazing school and and I miss it very much”

“Dance Avenue is one of my favourite places to be! The teachers and other dancers are so kind, accepting, and supportive and it really feels like one big family. We have so much fun and I’ve grown a lot as a dancer by being there.”

“We have been part of the Kids Campus whānau since 2020, when our son started childcare at 6 months old. From our very first visit we have had nothing but a positive experience. Kids Campus has a small intimate space for babies, and a beautiful over twos space with a large outdoor area. With low ratios, long serving staff and little staff turnover, building and maintaining meaningful relationships is Kids Campus’s superpower! The centre offers care that is an extension of home building on whānau aspirations and extending on what each child brings to the centre. The environment is always set beautifully to offer a range of activities, extending on planning displayed and the current interests of the children. We cannot recommend Kids Campus highly enough!

“Gate Pa Pre School is amazing. Have been taking my children there for almost 2 years now and highly recommend to everyone i know with children. Amazing staff that really care for the kids.”

“My son loves coming to Andrew for his guitar lessons. Andrew is a dedicated teacher and always keeps my boy interested and wanting to learn more. Highly recommend!!!”

“Very friendly and great with kids”

“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.”

“We had an exchange to make after a duplicate gift. The staff were so friendly and helpful, showing us items that would be great for our little one. There are so many gorgeous things here!”
