Busy Bees Tairāwhiti

We have been a part of this whanau since 2018 with my 1st baby & present day with my 3rd baby. We have seen several changes to the centre both indoors & outdoors & always to update/improve the comfort & for entertaining the tamariki. The teachers are all very welcoming & approachable & know each child’s name (even if not directly responsible for them), drop off’s are easy when another can comfortably take your baby & cuddle them :) Children are exposed to lots of different play & learnings & this is fed back through an individual online learning/progress diary. The kai menu is amazing & food always smells & looks great, definitely made with love :) & takes the hassle out of making lunch boxes! Different cultures & holidays are always celebrated along with many themed & dress-up days which always seem popular with the tamariki. My children have always loved coming to daycare & my oldest 2 still love to come in for a play when collecting their youngest sibling - i then need to pull them all out the door!!

Busy bees/house of wonder has been a great daycare for my two children. The staff are super lovely, warm welcoming & friendly. My children bond with their teachers so easily. The admin/management team are very accommodating when it comes to changes in my kids weekly hours. I will always recommend busy bees to friends & family.

My family has been with House Of Wonder since it first opened 4years ago! We fell in love with the centre from the open day. The atmosphere is so open and natural, great outdoor play area allowing our little ones to be creative and explore! Great layout, and home cooked nutritious meals made! Fresh veggies in the gardens the children have planted themselves and much much more.. We love the holistic approach learning environment and the super supportive and easy going, friendly staff! House Of Wonder supports all diverse children my 4year old speaks Afrikaans, English and Maori. Not only is he encouraged to speak whatever language he chooses he is also given added context and supported to explore more in cultural backgrounds of his choosing. My now 7year old has autism and he also received the best care when he was here, they helped him to develop relationships and supported his journey in his own time and space, it was such a relief to have their support and an added comfort. I am glad I found the right centre that supports my vast needs as it can be tricky finding a play centre that supports both boys with diverse backgrounds. I definitely recommend this Centre to anyone and everyone I meet, they support the whole family!
