Active Explorers Blenheim

After moving from Christchurch to Blenheim, we were quite worried about finding the right daycare for our 7-month-old daughter. Thankfully, we found Active Explorers Blenheim.The team has been wonderful from day one. They are caring, supportive, and genuinely make the children feel loved and safe.We are so grateful for the care and attention they give our little one. Seeing our baby happy and enjoying her time there gives us real peace of mind every day.

We've just moved from the North Island to Blenheim and transitioning my 2yr old son to his new daycare couldn't have been any easier. Lynn (the centre admin) was able to help us out before we even arrived, she certainly went above and beyond to ensure we had all the relevant info, and even saved us a spot under no obligation. The centre has amazing indoor and outdoor spaces, and the staff have been very warm and welcoming. They are very transparent and organised with the structure and intentions for each day. Most importantly, the tamariki all look very happy to be there and have so much to engage in.

My boy started at Active Explorers around 2 years old, he moved through the classrooms with ease, each classroom had wonderful teachers, they made each change easy for him when the time came. He recently has moved on to school, he was prepared for his transition due to the Active Explorers kaiako helping him along the way, he learned many simple things like hanging his bag like they would at school, introduced a lunchbox, mat time, controlling his emotions with breathing exercises, taking care of his peers and belongings, he also learned that he was a natural born leader with a loud voice that could get the rest of his class mates doing jobs that were needed to be done. I think starting with simple tasks really helped him understand how school was going to look once he arrived. His preschool journey was customized to suit him and his needs, it helped him turn into the big confident school boy he is today. He left for school confident, eager to learn and prepared for the next adventure due to the help he gained from his kaiako! A big thank you to all that were involved in teaching him during his time with Active Explorers we would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a warm welcoming centre
