Such an amazing special place for our young ones to grow and learn. Every detail is thought through as enhancing the childcare experience! Put that with a dedicated skilled team and preschool experience for our little ones becomes an experience that sets them on the best path for their future education. Well done Pukekos Thames!!

Pukekos is more than just a childcare... if you’re part of the centre you’re part of the family. All children are treated with respect and I’ve seen first hand the respectful and warm nature of the teachers. The natural environments cater to the children’s needs and lets their imaginations flourish! Children are allowed to just be children and I especially like one of their mottos... “there’s no such thing as inappropriate weather just inappropriate clothing”!

Love Pukekos Educare in Thames 🙌🌟👭 my Two girls went from 18 mths to 5 years old.. and loved being there. They have a wonderful out doors BIG garden, huge Sand Pit, established trees & lots of natural places to play and be a child.Being creative & free to explore is very important for our girls and Pukekos gave them this space... lots of art, craft & music ... Our girls still talk about their very happy early Pukekos childhood years, and we still have strong friendships with the teachers & children that shared that special place & time with us. I highly recommend Pukekos to other parents who want their children to enjoy a free play, natural, creative environment. Fiona 🌳🌈🐝🌟
