Leaving The Meadows was one of the hardest decisions we've had to make as a family. Our move was purely due to location and logistics. If that wasn't a factor, we would have stayed in a heartbeat. The Meadows is so much more than an early learning centre. The spaces have been so thoughtfully designed, both inside and out, creating an environment that encourages curiosity, adventure, creativity, and connection with nature. It truly is a special place for children to learn and grow. Joann, Rex, and the entire team consistently go above and beyond, not just for the children, but for the families too. Their care, kindness, and dedication are something truly special. Knowing both of our children were loved, supported, and encouraged every day gave us so much peace of mind. And as a bonus, the kai always smells so amazing at drop-off that it regularly had us wishing we could stay for lunch too! While we've had to leave the centre for now, we will always be part of The Meadows whānau. Thank you for everything you've done for our family. We will cherish the memories and would recommend The Meadows to any family without hesitation. 🤍

Our 2 year old has thrived at The Meadows, seeing him happy and running in for a big hug at the end of the day grinning from ear to ear says it all.... The centre provides a safe space, encourages free play for kiddos, has the most amazing team of teachers and let's not fail to mention the incredible outdoor area in both the nursery and the preschool... our experience has been fantastic. Thank you.

Absolutely in love with the Meadows! As a new mum, I know I can be too worrisome but the love and care the teachers have for my daughter has made a tough adjustment an incredible one. She has so so much fun during her days there and I could not be happier that we are there. I would recommend the Meadows every single time.
