Children's entertainment center in Wellington

“I went here when i was younger i loved it here amazing staff especially that Emma girl. Sad she left kristys nice aswell”

“We love Shine! Teachers are loving and nurturing. Such a great place that offers structured play based learning which made our transition into school so seamless. Highly recommend.”

“My son came here for a birthday party and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend for parties or if you want to wear the kids out for the day.”

“Surprisingly good! Quick, good food, great coffee (I had a flat white and it was delicious), really good value. Pleasant enough interior, a little dark but don't let that put you off as its a great shopping pit stop.”

“Tuatara Kids has been such a friendly and supportive childcare centre. We came from a much larger centre which was more chaotic and busy. Coming into Tuatara was such a breath of fresh air, the kids are noticeably happy and have a lot of fun together. The kaiako are so warm and welcoming and we have always had a seamless experience with the administrative side of things. Because it’s a smaller centre there’s a really nice community feel to it and we’ve gotten to know a lot of lovely families through our child’s friends at TK. Can’t rate highly enough!”

“This is a fantastic little kindergarten in a beautiful neighbourhood. The teachers are welcoming and very caring. They show genuine interest in helping our little one settle in and have made an enormous effort to help us as parents settle in by introducing us to other parents. They have good values and a good structure. Nice mix between outside and inside - a good set up. Highly recommend. It is so nice to see our son happy to go to kindy so early on in his time there.”

“Both of my kids have gone to KEL and I could not be happier that they did. The care shown by the teaching team has been extraordinary, Tenaya is a wonderful leader and has provided support and advice to our family, they are building a wonderful space for children and families.”

“They look after my baby with great care. They take care of my baby as much as I do at home. I am always thankful to them and I am very happy to have their services.”

“I've been training with the school for close to 4 years and while at first I wasn't too sure what to expect, I soon found that I was regularly attending and was very much enjoying what I was doing. Having done other martial arts before, I was initially unsure of what else I could get out of training besides the fitness aspect. Soon after I saw that Kenpo doesn't just address the how, but the why and the more I trained, the more I grew to love training. From intense work outs and conditioning, to self defense, there's not too much more you could ask for in a Martial Arts school Sensei Sean Fitzpatrick has created a great environment for us to train in, which has not only allowed us to develop as martial artists, but as individuals and also develop good strong friendships between all those training together. Come along for a session, I guarantee you that you will not regret it!”

“Fond memories of Newlands Childcare. My daughter still remembers her teachers and the kids, 4 yeara ago. Great daycare.”

“My son started at City Kids at 2 years old, and even though he is our 4th child in childcare, we have never been happier with a preschool. The teachers are actual treasures, they got to know him quickly and are so adaptable to his needs, rather than what is easiest for them. Along with the amazing teachers, City Kids provides quality, thoughtful resources, delicious healthy meals and takes the children on awesome adventures around the city! Most importantly, our son loves preschool and all of his teachers and friends.”

“Very happy with the quality of care and education our daughter received at KinderCare Karori. 5 stars.”

“My child is always excited to come back to the centre. One day, she just act like a teacher to her little brother and asking us when he will come to school too. It tell us that she is happy at the child care.”

“BestStart Petone is a wonderful childcare centre. We had two of our boys there and loved it!”

“I would like to say again what a wonderful place our twins visit every day. There is an ecological, harmless environment both inside the classroom and outside. We are delighted with the amazing variety of materials, toys, and pictures that are so interesting for children of their age. All of these promote the curiosity and imagination of our kids. They can touch, use, and play with everything, conducting different experiments with some of the items. I am amazed by the engaging activities offered to the children, such as painting with and without a paintbrush, dressing up, science experiments, Olympic games, and pretend play. For example, today you can be a caring mother for your doll, and tomorrow you might participate in a scientific experiment. One of the wonderful traditions of the center is visiting various public places where adults work, such as libraries and ambulance stations. These excursions are extremely exciting for the children, broadening their horizons and helping them understand how life around them is organized. I especially want to highlight the teachers, Gitika and Jaimee, to whom my children are very attached! I see their caring and attentive glances directed at our kids. I feel how these specialists, with great love for each child, manage and organize all activities, using their knowledge of child psychology at this age. I feel how they create an environment and activities that help develop each child’s abilities. These kind ladies carefully monitor the development of each child and sincerely rejoice in their successes. From time to time, we receive reports about our children's lives and achievements. These include wonderful photos of our beloved children during their activities, accompanied by warm words of joy, heartfelt admiration, support, and inspiration. It is incredibly touching that these letters are addressed to the child! This is a brilliant idea! We will save all the letters and read and reread them with our children! A big thank you to our administrators, Liz and Nakita, who notify us in advance and politely remind us so that we, the parents, don’t forget things in the daily rush. Our cook, Liz, does an incredible job preparing hot, delicious, and healthy breakfasts and lunches for the children, and we are very grateful to her for this! Thank you so much for your love and care for our children. This is the best place for them, truly a gem in the heart of our city!”

“Thanks Cinnamon, Nikki, Mandy, Sonya and all the educators of Ascot park Kindergarten for giving our daughter a home away from home. We as parents really appreciate all the hard work you guys put in taking care of our little ones. Sauhbat always have a good time at her kindergarten and feels safe under your care. She has progressed a lot in confidence. Thanks for being such an integral part of her life and making her feel so loved and welcomed. We couldn’t have found a better place for Sauhbat. Regards Tanya and Vivek”

“Best place for kids. The teaching staff are very good, caring. Thanks for their great efforts.”

“Came in a while ago and was having trouble with an item I couldn't find. Went to the counter and David was an absolute legend. Located the item in another Warehouse within seconds and went the extra mile to help out. Now everytime I'm having trouble I look for David as he's super on point everytime!”

“We have been dealing with a wonderful lady called Frances, We have been awkward customers - buying a mattress that was too hard - and she has been so helpful, with the return, and ordering of a new one. She’s an absolute asset to the company.”

“Great teachers and fantastic environment for kids to thrive.”

“Thank you so much! It’s so sad to have our son’s Kindercare journey come to an end, but we can see the values, self-confidence and self-worth you have all helped to develop and strengthen in him as he navigates making new friends, tackling new challenges and making the big transition to school. He has made such wonderful friends through his journey (as have we!) and I’m sure he will be keen to say hi whenever he swings by dropping off or picking up his brother. Kindercare provided such a supportive, collaborative environment to help him thrive during transitions and periods of change, as well as build his language and understanding of his body and mind as we navigate the world with his potential neurodiverse diagnosis. The extra meetings with kaiako to build individualised plans and strategies to use at daycare and carry over to home as well were such a huge help for us to build confidence and resilience as a family while we figured out what worked best to support him. Kaiako listened and made us feel heard and valued when things were tough and celebrated with us when things went well. You have given our son the space to grow in his own unique way. We’re so very proud of our big man heading off to school and everything he has achieved socially, emotionally, physically and academically at Kindercare. You’ve been a home for him to grow and learn, and for that we will be forever grateful.”

“Highly recommend Island Bay Childcare - warm, friendly environment. I am at ease that I know my son will be taken care of. Teachers and Sarah - from the front desk go above and beyond for families - we feel very welcome here. Thanks for a great first experience of daycare it's been a dream!”

“We were glad that we placed our son in Little Wonders' care. The environment is friendly, professional and educational. The teachers and staff are so caring, loving, genuine, down to earth, and trust worthy. Children play outside in the nice big backyard with lots of things to play on. There's just a wide variety of play and learn going on. My son loved Little Wonders, too bad we had to move to Auckland. I highly recommend Little Wonders to anyone needing childcare for their children. Thank you so much to Kuku and Paua room teachers especially to his key teachers, Chrishanti and Juliet. You have contributed to his learning experience. Ian still misses everyone and still talks about all friends he made at Little Wonders :)”

“I couldn’t speak more highly of this centre. There is absolutely no other centre quite like this one and you are quick to realise this upon spending welcomed time there. The kids here get the opportunity to go on bus rides, make trips to the local super market to purchase foods to complement the food they have grown, learnt and hand picked in their own garden, they go on bike rides, learn about things that are important and current to our world, the list goes on and on. My daughters development is growing at a rapid rate and I honestly wish I could take all the credit for it but I know the large majority stems from P2. The teachers all know how to care, extend, and most importantly understand what works best for her. I believe that her needs would get lost in a bigger centre so it’s nice that numbers are kept low here. P2 is not just an early childhood centre, it’s a family where everyone is accepted and embraced, family’s are connected together, relationships are built and successes are celebrated. When our time here is up, we will walk away with some life long friends and connections. I am so thankful that my daughter gets to experience care like this. Again, I could not recommend this centre any more.”
