First Years Richmond

For nearly four years, First Years Richmond has felt like part of our family. Both of my boys began attending the centre just after their first birthdays, and from day one, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made the transition incredibly smooth. Their genuine care and professional approach gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with the choice to send my children to First Years Richmond—it's a nurturing, high-quality environment where kids truly thrive.

First Years has been such a special part of our family’s journey. My eldest attended for three years until he started school, and now my youngest is currently enrolled - and we’ve loved every minute of our time there. One of the standout features is the incredible outdoor area, there’s so much space for the kids to run and play. What really makes First Years shine though is the team of kind and supportive teachers. They’ve taken the time to get to know each of my children as individuals, despite having very different personalities, both of my kids have absolutely thrived. The care and attention given to each child is something really special. Dropping my children off each day has always felt like leaving them with family. I truly couldn’t recommend First Years highly enough.

First Years Richmond is an incredible centre with amazing staff and a great outdoor facility. I love how First Years is such a community based centre and also governed by a Board Of Trustees which I have found has also helped bring families together. I have had my 2 youngest boys go through First Years ( youngest currently still there ) and I couldn't speak more highly enough of the care the staff provide for the tamariki and well being of our children.
