Nurserydale Childcare Centre

Our whānau had begun the transition into Nurserydale’s care but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to stop our enrolment, however I wanted to leave a review still because of the wonderful centre that it is. All the staff were super kind and you can tell that all the children are truly happy, engaged and thriving here, with tons of resources and learning through play activities. The way that the children have one main teacher for their entire stay at the centre is truly something special. What really won is over was the staffs confidence in te reo Māori, which was obvious as many of the children use kupu Māori in their speech often, and all with perfect pronunciation. It’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out be we are very grateful for Nurserydale’s kindness and support. Ngā mihi nui

Best place for your children second only to home. Libby, Kay and the team are really vested in the kids. My kids want them to open on weekends they enjoy it so much.

Best daycare around! Our two kids have gone here since age 1 and the team is incredible. I love that there's a separate space for the under 2s, with great ratios of teachers to children (1:3). Michelle, Dee Dee, Ayla, thank you for looking after both my babies with so much love and kindness. ❤️ They have a fantastic continuity of care model, and the babies' primary care teacher transitions to the big kids room with them when they turn 2 year olds. The centre celebrates lots of holidays and events throughout the year, including one EPIC Christmas party. They also encourage the children to explore their interests in carpentry, art, bugs, music and gardening, amongst other things. The teachers mostly follow RIE philosophy, which is so great and respectful to children. Leah cooks delicious nutritious meals for the children, and even gets them to help sometimes. Libby runs the centre well and is so awesome to deal with. She has great policies in place to keep the kids safe. She also has high standards for cleanliness, which is so great, because we all know kids are little germ factories. I can't praise Nurserydale highly enough. We love it!
