Our Kids Early Learning Centre - Glen Eden

Our Kids in Glen Eden has been my second family. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. My daughter who is now 7 had been at Our Kids Glen Eden since before she was 2years and the kaiako there loved her like they were her own. My youngest who is now 1year has just joined and settled incredibly well. The teachers are warm, loving and have a huge knowledge of educating our tamariki in the way that is needed most for our ECE sector. Most teachers are qualified and they have many years of experience. The staff turn over is very low and you always know who is spending time with your children. The mixed age setting is so beautiful and gives it a home away from home feeling. There is a large amount of understanding of te ao Maori and this is integrated into everyday practice. I couldn't recommend Our Kids Glen Eden enough!

I can't speak more highly about the beautiful kaiako at Our Kids. Both my daughters have been here and have thrived because of it. The team are amazing and we've largely had the same kaiako over the last 5 years (with amazing additions) - which is a massive green flag. The team are passionate about kids and learning though play. There's an obvious passion for nature, messy play and good exposure to te ao Māori. The daycare has a good connection to the community surrounding it and there's is a lot of knowledge about the local environment. Stoked we found this little gem of a centre.

Our Kids Glen Eden is an inclusive, welcoming centre, a calm and friendly environment with the most amazing teachers!! They have worked so hard to ensure my child settled easily into daycare, and always show so much care towards all children. Teachers work hard to get to know their learners and ensure that their interests and needs are met. Also has a fantastic outside environment, and a homely inside environment which feels like a home away from home. The children benefit from the small roll size and mixed ages. My child loves going there and we couldn’t be happier with our experience at Our Kids. Would give it more stars if I could!!
