"I would highly recommend child. Not only is there a hot cooked meal and snacks made from scratch, but nappies and wipes are included. Drop off is a breeze, making it very easy for working parents.

I liked the separate rooms so children have access to toys and playground equipment suited for their age group. I didn’t need to worry about how the younger children would fare with the older kids.

My children were very well prepared for school. Able to write their names, count and identify numbers and letters. They loved their time at child.

The teachers and management are all so kind and caring, my children formed very strong bonds with their teachers. I felt very comfortable leaving my kids in their care." - The Wilde Family

“Our daughter and son have both attended preschool at child. As parents with full time jobs we want to make sure that our children are well cared for, well nourished, and in a happy and stimulating environment.

child offers nice clean facilities, age appropriate activities and learning programmes, freshly prepared and varied meals, and qualified teachers who genuinely care for the children. They go the extra mile by keeping personal portfolios to document the day-to-day activities and achievements of the children, which is nice to reflect on and see the fun that they have with their friends.

We are also impressed with the hands-on involvement of Lee, the business owner. She is always approachable and dedicated to offering a high quality experience for families.

We would like to thank Lee and all the dedicated teachers and support staff for the positive impact they have had on our children’s upbringing.” — The Murray Family, Hillcrest

“Our 3 boys have all been through child. Our youngest is currently in the babies room and soon to move to room 2.

We can’t say enough about how good child has been for all 3 of them. The atmosphere, created by the amazing teachers, is extremely welcoming giving the child the confidence to build friendships and find their feet in their first trip out of the home environment.

The facilities are excellent (the boys always talk about the outdoor play areas), the food always goes down very well and the teachers do a great job instilling the basics which has really set the boys up well for their next step.” — The Hawes Family, Hauraki

“When looking for a daycare for our eldest we were hunting for a professional, structured environment, while still providing a loving, caring, “child centric” second home. We found this and more at child.

My boys have been at child since they were both 9 months old and saw my eldest though to school with the youngest not far behind. We have been amazed at the staffs ability to keep our very busy boys happy and content, while still encouraging them to push themselves to try out new activities. The love and care shown to our boys by all staff has provided them with a safe, happy environment to grow up and become big school boys.” — The Murray Family, Sunnynook

“Louis has been at child for just under two years, he is thriving in his development academically and socially under the guidance of the amazingly caring, compassionate, fun and creative teachers (and owners, who are very hands on) they have been an integral part of who Louis is today. The educators at child genuinely care for your children and are invested in their wellbeing and success. The classrooms are all welcoming, open and diverse spaces, full of endless resources. The outdoor area is secure and private and full of potential for imagination and exploration.

child is a fantastic option for preschool education, if you are looking for a boutique family owned childcare for your children this is the place for you!” — The Spragg Family, Northcote

"We had our two boys go through child preschool from babies room through to Room 5. They are now 8 and 5 years old and our younger boy has just started school during lockdown!

child has provided confidence and experiences they both needed to start their new journey at primary school and found transition effortless (even in lockdown!). We feel that child preschool offers a well-structured, age appropriate, fun learning environment for the children to explore their curiosity and grow mentally and physically. They had so much fun and met some amazing teachers and friends and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We thank all the teachers at child for providing the best experience for both of the boys!*" - The Kweon Family, Takapuna

“child comes with the highest recommendation from us. We have seen our eldest child build confidence, friendships and a love for learning as she has transitioned through the classrooms, giving her a great start for school.

Our three year old has thrived at child, supported by an exceptional group of teachers. child has provided both of our children with the right balance between structure and the space to delve into what interests them and have fun.” — The Sheerin Family, Milford

"Our two boys attended child from the age of one and have absolutely loved the time they spent there. From starting in the babies room, each room they progressed through catered perfectly to the age and skill level they were at and they learnt so much while enjoying playing with their peers.

We have always appreciated the structure of child - every day provides enough routine for our children to feel comfortable and secure, while teaching our children about new things, life and the world around them. All the teachers show genuine care for the children and our boys adore all their teachers.

child provides a fantastic learning environment for our children - the rooms are clean and full of fun activities for tamariki to explore, the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the development of each and every child that comes through their class.

We are so grateful for the experiences our boys have had at child and the care they have received while attending." - The Huang Family, Beach Haven

“Both my children started in the babies room at child from 11 months and the teachers made the transition for both them (and me) easy.

The teachers from the babies room through to room 5 were attentive, caring and created a safe environment for my children to thrive. My 5 year old transitioned effortlessly between child and primary school due to the effort the teachers put in for all stages of his development. I’m confident my daughter will follow the same development journey." - The Featherstone Family

“Over the past 6 years, child has provided an amazing environment where our two children have been able to thrive.

They have formed special bonds with each of their teachers who genuinely care for the children and pay particular attention to their individual needs. We’ve found the learning activities age appropriate, stimulating and, most importantly, fun. At the morning drop off it’s always reassuring to know they’re in a happy, safe and nurturing environment - and often at the end of the day they don’t want to leave!

Thank you to Lee and all the wonderful teachers and staff at child who have given Freja and Otto such a great head start in life.” - The Arnestedt Family
