My son went to Barnardos Wellington Central for 2 years, the staff were so lovely, always welcomed him in the morning, knew my son well, his interests and how he learns. My son was well set up and transitioned smoothly to big school, which is really valuable for us. My son was also bilingual, the teachers encouraged him to speak in our language and tried to learn simple words in Tagalog so engage with him. Highly recommend this centre to anyone especially if you come from a different culture and country, they are very diverse and inclusive. Very happy with the quality of education they provide.

My Son attended Wellington Central from Apr 2020 until Aug 2025. We met so many staff at the Centre throughout this time and we found that all of them were so loving and warm towards Cooper. He was always greeted with smiles and hugs and he thrived whilst at the Centre. The staff went out of their way to find toys amd activities that interested him and they found many way to engage him in everything. Thank you to the Managers, past and present, and to all the team, past and present. We were sad to leave and I have and would again recommend Barnardos Central to any parent looking for Daycare.🙂

We are happy with our choice and highly recommend Barnardos Wellington Central :) The centre is clean and spacious, and I love that they plan nutritious meals for the children. The place is very warm, friendly, and has really taken care of our son. As parents, it is extremely important to us to find a childcare where we could entrust our little one to capable hands. We feel like it was our second home :) Shoutout to Aswathi and to all the teachers for being dedicated and for inspiring the children to learn and have fun at the same time. Your passion has made a positive impact on my son’s journey. Our family really appreciate the care you have for our little one :)
