Children's entertainment center in Wellington

“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.”

“We absolutely love Millie’s House. We had to change daycare centres since our last one was suspended by the MOE. After such an unpleasant experience it was wonderful to find a place here. The teachers are so kind and helpful. Paula, the manager is the best! So knowledgeable and caring. The children are so well looked after and they are very big on hand hygiene here. My son rarely comes home sick anymore. We are only leaving due to relocation to the South Island. Thanks for everything Millie’s House!”

“Elim International Kids has been such a blessing for our whānau. The staff are incredibly warm and caring. Our son has been with them since he was 8 months old, and we've always felt genuinely supported. When he moved into preschool, he had a speech and language delay and would sometimes bite out of frustration. It was a really stressful time, but the team never judged us. They worked with us to come up with a plan and stuck with it. Thanks to their patience and care, we’ve seen so much growth in him. What we love most about EIK is the way they care for the whole child. Their play-based approach encourages curiosity and discovery, and they create such a welcoming environment for all cultures. Events like the Matariki whānau evening and different language weeks are celebrated with genuine enthusiasm. The food is also amazing, they offer a wide variety and even ask parents for input to include meals our kids love at home. Thank you so much to the incredible EIK team for always creating a wonderful and warm place for our tamariki!”

“Fantastic, community spirited, learning environment for our tamariki. Awesome qualified teacher to child ratios which means I go to work and don't worry about my babies. It's small enough that our kids know the names of all the other kids and teachers there so they feel part of a larger family. Management are always available and always ask for parents to feedback on their ideas or plans. They are also really invested in PD for the staff so willing to keep learning and develop skills to support our tamariki.”

“My daughter is absolutely thriving at Grow and Learn ELC. We shifted from a bigger centre due to things I could no longer ignore. I was hesitant about enrolling her somewhere else but they were all so welcoming and I loved the vibe in the atmosphere. Kaiako, staff and the Owners are so supportive and loving, they really cherish the tamariki they care for and it shows in their learning environments. There’s such a strong sense of whanau and community and this is what I had been looking for, for my girl I knew this was the environment she needed. You would never know my daughter has only been here a few months she fits right in and has made so many awesome friendships with other tamariki and close relationships with her kaiako. I’m just so thankful I decided to move her here, I can see how much happier she is and how much she’s progressed within herself and her learning and development.”

“A friend recommended Countrylife to us and we are so glad we moved our child to Countrylife after two years at a bigger centre. It was the best decision we made for our child at that time. We have been part of the Countrylife whanau for just over two years now. The teachers are the most caring, genuine, and kindest kaiako who truly value our child’s individuality, supportive of our child’s interests and goals, and work closely with us as parents to make sure our child’s needs are met. Being a smaller centre, there’s a sense community among whanau inside and outside of Countrylife. The centre itself is big, with a large outdoor play area surrounded by trees and nature. The food provided is also excellent, nutritious and fresh! After joining Countrylife, our child is no longer a picky eater and now enjoys the different types of food. We will be very sad to leave Countrylife once our child starts school but will definitely be recommending it to family and friends.”

“RECENT PARENT FEEDBACK "Our son has been at Early Years Redwood for almost 2 years now, since he was 15mth old. In this time has had some amazing carers who he has formed great bonds with. In recent months we have noticed a great improvements in the Toddlers room, such things as ensuring the physical environment is the best it can be for the children e.g. sleeping area is separate from the rest of the group. And increasing the range and variety of organised activities for the children to participate in. We are very happy with the choice to send our son to Early Years Redwood and plan to keep him there until he begins school" - October 2013.”

“Khandallah playgroup is fantastic. I love spending the morning here with my youngest so he can meet other children and play with all the wonderful toys, whilst I can enjoy a coffee and chat with other mums. I love that it is a relaxed setting with no pressure to arrive at a certain time or to plan certain activities. The outside playground and sandpit is also a highlight for us.”

“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 .”

“Someone warm to me yorguert poo.”

“Great environment, friendly staff, lots to play and learn with, very helpful and accomadating to first time parents/familys in general. Awesome place for a child to learn and grow.”

“My third child is enrolled here. The best teachers. My kids love going everyday. I have an autistic child who’s very happy here.”

“Absolutely loved our time at Millie's House on Hopper Street. Tasha is a fantastic manager and the team are the exact teachers you want for your children. Finding a centre you can trust is so important. The team truly partner with parents and give so much energy, kindness, laughter and comfort to all of the kids that are there. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely centre - highly recommend to any parents looking at ece options!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We are incredibly grateful to the amazing team at Best Start Rongotai for their warmth, care, and dedication in helping our daughter Zeraphina settle into the center. From day one, the teachers have been so understanding and supportive, making what can be a challenging transition so much easier for both parents and children. Their personalized approach, patience, and nurturing environment truly eased our minds, and it has been heartwarming to see how quickly Zeraphina has grown comfortable and happy in their care. We couldn’t be more thankful for the peace of mind they’ve given us as parents and the wonderful start they’re providing for our daughter.”

“Nice people looking after your kids.”

“Our daughter asks to go to TK on the weekend. She loves it, and we love the people, the values and skills she's learning.”

“Lovely little daycare. Smaller and more intimate, but still large enough for my son to get plenty of exposure to different things. I feel fully comfortable leaving my son in their care. He started at 2 years old and loves it. They were amazing getting him started with a week integration and taking the time and care to make sure he was comfortable. Now he has gained so much confidence, he calls out his friends by name, is getting his colours and shapes and is developing such an amazing personality. They include me in regular updates, so I feel like I am still very much part of it all.”

“The Space program was very beneficial and the teachers Heather and Maria are so kind and dedicated!”

“WONDERFUL FEELING AS YOU MEET THE SUPERVISORS. MY MOKO LOVE IT HERE”

“FANTASTIC COMMUNITY SPIRIT AT THIS CENTRE. MY MOKO LOVED IT HERE”

“A warm and supportive environment which has allowed our child to flourish. There is a calmness about the creche in the morning that helped our daughter settle far more quickly than expected. The older sibling, now loving Brooklyn School down the road, still talks fondly of the creche teachers she had four years ago and can be hard to move when we do the morning drop off!”

“Awesome daycare facility!.. My boys have been going here both since they were 1 years old. Teachers and admin are extremely caring and have become like family! Always understanding and working around my schedule with work, no hesitation to my requests. My boys love going to daycare every morning. I can go worry free and know that my boys are well cared for! Highly recommended.”

“We've had a great learning journey in here. The teachers are highly experienced and truly care about the children's needs and development. The environment is warm and welcoming, with plenty of opportunities for the kids in different ages to explore and learn. My child has grown so much in her time here, both academically and socially. We really appreciated and would recommend this lovely centre to other parents.”
