My granddaughter started at play to learn when she was 6 months old. She settled in quickly & still loves it today. She is now in her last term before going to school & she is already missing her friends. She has become a very confident & social child. Play to learn celebrates almost every aspect of life you can think of. We've celebrated birthdays, graduations, Xmas, farewells, pink shirt days, dewali & matariki. We've had dress up days, wheel days, police visits, zoo visits & marae visits. The teachers have treated my granddaughter like she is their own which made her feel comfortable & safe. I tried her at another kindy that was 100 meter walk from my house for 6 months but she never quite settled & often asked to go back. I would prefer to drive 20 minutes in heavy traffic to keep her happy rather than have her closer to home & anxious. I recommend starting your babies as early as possible to help settle them faster if you're a full time worker. The prices are reasonable & play to learn keeps you updated & can be flexible in emergencies where you may be late.

This childcare is amazing! It’s the very first centre my 18 months old daughter has attended and as a parent I was looking for a place where she could feel safe and cared for while I could feel assured about her wellbeing. The carers genuinely look after the kids so well. My daughter always enjoy her time there and I can see how happy she is when I pick her up. The staff are wonderful and it gives me such peace of minds knowing I don’t have to worry about her while she’s there. I also love how children from every background are celebrated - their cultures and festivals are respected and included, which is a beautiful thing. I’d honestly recommend this childcare to everyone!
