Children's entertainment in Wellington

“My toddler loves attending Pipitea and I highly recommend it to other parents. The teachers are amazing and create a fun and caring environment for the kids.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“My partner and I really enjoyed our one night stay at Microtel by Wyndham Wellington. We arrived in Wellington around 8:00 AM and caught an Uber directly to our hotel (20 min drive from airport). Front of staff was extremely lovely and offered to look after our luggage before check-in at 2:00 PM. We booked the Internal Queen Room without Windows. It was perfect size for two people, and still spacious for us to place our belongings. Bed was comfortable - got a good night rest. Service is great, staff are extremely helpful. You can order some food from the menu. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza for nibbles, which costed around $15. The hotel is approximately 20 mins walking distance to Lambton Quay and Queen Wharf. It was simple to navigate around central. Overall, 10/10 experience. Highly suggest to book here.”

“There's a cute fountain and lots of seating”

“Me and my mum love coming here for our cafe hot chocolate and McMuffins we come once a week there are other McDonald's but we prefer Newtown one only great friendly staff on drive through and inside!”

“I’ve been lucky enough to visit the facilities in NZ and partake in many of Toni and Robin’s workshops. Their competence, love and passion for what they do is unbelievable and contagious. Education needs more places like these in which children are not only cared for and nurtured but also taught to grow into capable, caring and reflective people.”

“Daughter goes to kindy. Always loves a play after kindy”

“Great play ground needs a toilet for the kids.... oh wait there's some trees”

“Music Box Academy is currently set up at the Wadestown Comunity Centre for classical, Jazz and contemporary music tuition. We offer - Piano, Singing, Guitar, Drums, Bass and many more group / band classes. We love teaching music here and sharing our passions for music with our wonderful wadestown community.”

“The best kindergarten in Petone! Children are accepted and safe in the care of the qualified teachers.”

“Enjoyed the past 5 years with AE Mana for my two kiddies. They provided great care for my kids and started their learning journey off strong. Thank you AE, Mana. We miss you. x”

“We cannot thank Tania, Olivia, and the entire team enough for the wonderful experience my son, Manahi, had at Playschool. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a warm, family-like atmosphere. Tania and Olivia’s genuine care and dedication to the children shine through in everything they do. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and supportive environment. I saw Manahi thrive there, building confidence, friendships, and so many happy memories. I am incredibly grateful to this Centre for the care and love shown to him for the duration he attended.”

“Wonderful centre ! Really caring teachers and staff. We love the community at MS. A home away from home for my wee ones.”

“We moved here after BestStart Pharazyn closed. Our son has had an amazing time here and so have we.”

“Very good walk. Espessuallly good for a family walk with the kids.”

“They need to put their hempster's on a lead, a few of them had a go at my son”

“What an amazing find. A mostly flat field with a collection of playground equipment, with the best view from a swing, ever! The field is surrounded by native bush, and the birds love it. Only downer is the lack of parking, but perhaps that is why it is so quiet. But don't go there is a southerly :)”

“Yvonne Unka is by far the most efficient, friendly and co-operative travel agent I ever had. This written by someone who has travelled the world for over half a century. All kudos to her!”

“Amazing daycare. Our little twin grandsons are really well looked after. Thank you guys.xx”

“An amazing centre with great staff and a fun, easy-going, friendly atmosphere.”

“This is a fantastic centre with attentive and caring kaiako. We had to move our daughter unexpectedly at the end of last year when her previous ECE shut down and the team at KCC made the transition as smooth as possible. The centre is small so you don't feel like your child will be forgotten amongst the chaos but there is still plenty for the kids to do and explore. I would definitely recommend KCC to anyone living in or near the area!”
