Dandelions and Dragonflies

As a parent returning to work, it was daunting having to leave my 7-month old in someone else’s care, but the D&D team made the transition so so easy, and now I'm pretty sure my daughter prefers to be there than home - she absolutely loves it! They keep us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, so we always know how naps, feeds, and playtime are going. It's really nice to know how loved and cared for she is by all the teachers!

Great kindy in the heart of the community. Warm lovely teachers and a fun environment both inside and out. I love that they encourage our tamariki to explore the local area on outings and the close relationship to the area school next door.

We love it so much! The space is nice and open inside making it feel light and inviting, the playground and outdoor area is soo big and full of adventures and activities. The staff are incredible, so supportive and kind! They feel like they are on that parenting journey every step of the way, they share genuine excitement when our tamariki reaches new milestones! The transition to the Onewhero Area school was a big tick for us, as the visits/inclusion and familiarity with the school will make a huge difference in the transition there later on for our boy! And for our sons egg and nut allergies they are extremely careful and thorough and making him feel included in kai time as well as feeling safe! Harper has come a long way and even showing signs of big improvement in his confidence and eating and trying new things! We love it here and all the staff! Looking forward to seeing how our son grows over the next couple years!
