Children's entertainment in Porirua

“26/1/22: Showed up for my booster appt approx 15mins early to see two queues as I approached but was happy to see there were marshalling staff etc. There was a separate queue for mums/dads & kids (forms to be completed) and the other queue for adults. There were many updates from the staff on waiting times. There were seats available at required distances and I noticed that both queues moved along fairly quickly. I was in the queue only for approx 12mins before being ushered in to provide my name, etc. After a small wait, I was ushered further in, confirmed my details. A quick chat with the nurse, got my booster shot and headed off to the waiting area (15mins) before being allowed to leave. I had my first two vaccination jabs at this same place so I had no qualms about returning for my booster. All staff were friendly & professional.”

“This place is run by very caring people totally recommend this to anyone.”

“Always helpful, friendly and can suggest what your looking.”

“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”

“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.”

“By far the best centre in Porirua , both my children have been very happy to go Kindercare and the staff and management will always go the extra mile to cater to your child’s needs. Friendly , warm and welcoming centre.”

“Barnardos Porirua is a beautiful centre. They have a welcoming atmosphere where staff genuinely care for the children striving to assist them in acquiring new skills, nurturing, encouraging and supportive of their learning; providing nutritious meals daily. My Daughter has been at Barnardos a few months and loves it. I highly recommend this centre to others.”

“Compliments to the island lady that’s always on the mic at the drive thru. She was on today at 9pm and ALWAYS Provides the loveliest service. Not once have I seen her without a big smile and I’m here a lot. Love and blessings to her ❤️❤️❤️”

“Excellent care of children and lovely people”

“We arrived on time but due to having to try on wetsuits we hit the counter a little after close. The ladies were super kind. The gent even went out the back to check for my size and thickness. The price was amazing. Well with the shopping experience.”

“I definitely recommend them! I have two kids that go there but one of them has recently started primary. Best Start really helped with the transition for my older one! Teachers and receptionist are always welcoming and caring! Till this day, my wife and I have to drag our baby out of kindy because he doesn't want to leave - thats reassurance that your child is being well looked after and having a blast at Best Start!”

“OMG what a beautiful place... such a great vibe here.... Fab views....Great walks & very good for dog walkers too..”

“It was really interesting with lots of interesting things to look at and read. I loved reading about the history of the New Zealand Police and seeing how things have changed. It's free to get into which is nice and wasn't busy when we went.”

“Mind blown by the place and arena. Fantastic services available, good parking. Round about was quite congested when we left. It would help if people knew their road rules.”

“Had son's birthday here & the 2 ladies there were amazing!!!! Very friendly, cool to chat to. Kids had a blast! So did us adults. Full of laughs and fun times! Recommend to all!!”

“It was a perfect day out spending time with our mokopuna. We are pretty competitive with just a point between the 3 of us.”

“Watched my son's football game at Endeavour Park. There had been rain the previous day, the drainage on the grounds was really good, so grounds were not muddy and easy to walk on. Excellent park. Club rooms were open but we didn't visit there.”

“The Main hall is huge! Plenty of tables and chairs. Excellent oven. Fridge was a good size to store food and drinks. Great bar area to set up kitchen stuff and prep food. You need to bring your own utensils,kitchen stuff and dish washing needs. There's no dish washer so it's best to use paper plates and cups as well as serving bowls that you can just chuck out. Thank god the Rubbish bags and bin were supplied. If you have 100 guests or under? It's best to hire the adjoining hall as the main hall is really huge. The Caretaker David was awesome to deal with,real good sort. You have to meet him at the hall to open as they don't give you keys,which is great..one less thing to worry about. Just make sure you have a sign saying private function on the entrance doors because it's on the main road and people walk in thinking there's housie or come to use the toilets lol but overall experience was excellent. Shops across the road and Chinese takeaway incase you need extras. Over all experience..Excellent!”

“Its a great pitch for playing rugby and football, but it wouldn't be good for something like cricket or basketball”

“Millar and Mary absolutely stand out women. I felt I was quite demanding as we arrived, and we had a few issues while there. Nothing but accommodating. I also noted an issue with our lane company, which was promptly fixed. My husband and I hadn't been on a date in a long time. This place made me want to go again. The staff should be highly recommended on their performance. Incredible! We'll be back when the beers are allowed to flow again!”

“Went to this place 2ce last week with 17mth old moko. Clean tidy child friendly place with play equipment that moko enjoyed! Cool bike path area too! Seating all around too x”

“Granddaughter absolutely loved it. All the staff are friendly. Great choice of food, however you can't take your own food in. The ride are free and the kids can go as often as they want when they are running.”

“A really good playground for children with a lot of field space too. There is an accessible tennis court for all. Entrance to this area is down the concrete drive”

“loved it here, all the teachers are just amazing and lovely. Awesome exposure to Te Reo and independence is incaraged so confidence is found. Awesome work katoa.”

“og as kindergarten i went here its the best. its the place next to it that screwed my life over.”

“Whitireia Child Care is an awesome centre, the children are free to be themselves. The kaimahi are always communicating with us via Storypark which has instant notification. My girl loves it and so do we as a whānau.”

“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.”
