Child space in Wellington

“Excellent early childhood centre; caring, passionate, intelligent teachers, with great food provided. A real sense of whanau.”

“Hi just adding a review for Pridelands holiday programm Moses and his team are awesome, i have twins (teenagers)that go to their holiday day programms and have done for a few years now. Both boys enjoy being there. Lots of fun activities, burning off all the boredom with much to do there. My boys have ADHD and very much on the go 24/7, Pridelands have been wonderful with them. We recommend Pridelands Holiday Programm.”

“The best early childcare centre in the city! Amazing kaiako, great ratios and each child valued for their unique strengths. Crossways is also a Registered charity - no corporate driven for profit vibes here.”

“Our daughter goes here. We feel that it's a very supportive environment with a high teacher to child ratio where each childs needs and interests are treated individually. The environment (inside and outside) are beautiful and natural. A large villa space converted, with soft colours and a wood fire. Outside has mature trees with shade, lots of birds and a good space to explore. Fully recommend this kindy for any child!”

“I highly recommend Millie’s House Oxford Street. The teachers are friendly, all cultures are recognised and celebrated and it is evident that the kaiako really do care about the welfare and development of the children as individuals. We have loved being a part of the kindy community and will look back fondly on our time there as our son heads off to school. We feel that attending Millie’s House has aided our son immensely in his readiness for school as he has gained so much confidence in himself, especially in regards to his social interaction with others.”

“Great playground for kids and adults alike, A massive assortment of slides, swing's,tunnels, cargo nets aswell as sandpits,bbq area's down by the large pond which you can practice with your hobby watercrafts,A great time out having funwi”

“Mount Cook Primary School is an exceptional educational institution that provides a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive. The dedicated teaching staff deliver engaging lessons, fostering academic excellence and curiosity. The school's focus on character development, teamwork, and community values helps students become confident, empathetic, and responsible individuals. Modern facilities and resources enhance the learning experience, while the school's welcoming atmosphere encourages family involvement. I had the privilege of attending Mount Cook Primary School for eight wonderful years, and I can confidently attest to its excellence. My time here was truly transformative, and I cherish the memories and lessons learned. The school's impact on my development and love for learning has been profound. Rating: 5/5 stars.”

“We’ve absolutely loved our time at Millie's House. The Kaiako (teachers) are so supportive and caring, and the environment is great, lots for the kids to do. Our son has thrived here. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend it to other families!”

“Hidden jewel if you love action sports or being active when Wellington weather is acting up”

“Super clean and well organised with a really impressive play area. The entrance fee is expensive but worth it in my opinion. There are even healthy menu items at the canteen, which is unusual at other indoor play areas. A great rainy day trip!”

“We come here a lot to play but my daughters birthday party was at Chipmunks Lyall Bay today. It was AMAZING! The recent upgrades have made the venue so awesome all the kids loved it. The food was great, the party house was great, but the best part was how friendly the staff were- it was so busy and they were still able to make sure we had everything we needed and more! They were so caring and made it such a special and easy day for us. Highly recommend Chipmunks Lyall Bay, thank you guys I am so grateful for help in making my girls day so special!”

“Hello, I came in the other day and met a worker named Joe he was lovely and helpful thank you so much Kmart for your amazing customer service”

“Great place to buy all your stuff from groceries, clothing. Homewares, toys even printing as warehouse stationary is inside”

“Tobias also known as Tobey the guy who works in the garden section is always very helpful when I ask questions about plants and bulbs ,seeds . I find the prices and staff so much better than going to a normal garden center .”

“Good open late so always go shopping here after work”

“Just want to say thank you so much to the young girl on security this afternoon around 5pm. She was super helpful, i had my baby as well as a full trolley and some chairs and other items to carry to my ute. She willingly helped me without having to be asked and did it all with a smile on her face. Big ups to her, 10/10 customer service.”

“Big thank you to everyone at Pikopiko and Krissy! You guys were great! I always felt like bubs was very safe there. They were always very loving with the tamariki and he learned so many great new things. Our bubs loved going! Again, thank you for a great first Kindy experience.”

“Peninsula Early Learning has been such a supportive environment for both my daughter and our whānau. The kaiako are all incredible teachers and so kind. They always have the child’s interest at the forefront of decisions. The ratios are great and the weekly nature walk programme and quarterly trips exceeded my expectations. My daughter absolutely loves being able to explore the local beaches or community on these trips. We have loved being part of the preschool community and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful space for our tamariki.”

“My kids are thriving here. I see that they are enjoying playing with other kids and they are very at ease with all the teachers. I highly recommebd this centre”

“We are thankful for TWT as they welcome our daughter with open arms. It is a great centre at the heart of the CBD. It is her 1st time to attend a DC but Puni, Pria, and the rest of the teachers helped her to settle with ease. They are all very friendly and caring.”

“My son is flourishing in the beautiful, warm and caring environment created by the most amazing, thoughtful and experienced teachers. Brooklyn Kindy is truly part of the community and my 7 year old daughter loves going back to visit.”

“I have had the privilege of both of my children attending Montessori Children's House for their preschool years (3-6). Both children left Montessori for primary school with amazing foundations in reading, writing and maths. Not only this, but the environment and opportunities that Montessori provides to be creative, sporty and to explore nature and science, has been instrumental in allowing my children to become well rounded and ready for the world. The facilities are fantastic and the teaching team and management are supportive, kind and caring. The children and I found it very difficult to leave when it came time for primary school.”

“This is an amazing centre! Highly recommend! So much care and patience. Like all other centres that are busy and filled with tamariki, it was such a great and smooth transition for my God daughter. Thanks team! God Bless x”

“Both my tamariki attend NELC and love it. The kaiako are caring and supportive — they know the kids well and create a fun, safe space to learn and grow. NELC is community-run, which means whānau have a real voice in how things work. It creates a strong sense of belonging and connection — we’re not just part of a centre, we’re part of a community. We get regular updates and photos, and it’s great seeing our tamariki thrive. Big thanks to the NELC whānau!”

“We have had our daughter at Little School Nursery for four months. We are incredibly grateful for the teachers who are professional, nurturing and dedicated to providing the best educational experience in a warm, welcoming, well equipped environment.”

“Our family loves Wilton Playcentre! The kids have such a great sense of belonging. As a parent, I get massive emotional support and have made friends for life. I work 4 days a week and really look forward to my playcentre day where we get to hang out with our friends and do cool stuff.”
