The staff and owner are wonderful with children, they all look happy to be there and it definitely shows when you see them with the children. The centre is always clean, the food always looks amazing. My son gets excited when we pull into the driveway (hes 10 months old) and he loves spending his couple of days there. Recommend this centre to everybody :)

What a lovely daycare.  The teachers are so gentle and loving and when I've come to collect my toddler from the babies room, its so lovely to see the teachers playing games with him or being cuddled or held.  I love the idea of having a primary carer and having a loving nurting environemnt. The teachers in preschool room are amazing.  The daily/weekly email communication for parents is fantastic.  I feel totally involved throughout the day/week.  I can see my preschooler is so happy and within a week already settled.  He is being stimulated and challenged and his eyes are lighting up again.  The bike/scooter days are a great idea too.  I am so happy with the move. 

Picking a daycare was a huge deal for me. First time mum and having to return to work part time meant putting my son in daycare. It was not something I looked forward too.  I visited all the daycares in the area, Playschool was the last one I saw. As soon as I walked in I was so comfortable and knew I had found what I was looking for.  I had a feeling that I did not get anywhere else, and we have never looked back. The staff are amazing, we are always kept up to date with everything going on in the centre, with any issues regarding our son we are made aware of right away.  We receive by email a daily diary of what his class is up too, I love seeing this if I am at work, a nice update and photo of what he is up too.  I have compared daycares with friends of mine and it has become obvious Playschool do more than many others. I have no worries at all dropping my son off in the morning and going to work. We know he is in good hands, is happy and cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare in the Kumeu area. Kim

I also visited various daycares in the area and I too was impressed the moment I stepped in the door. What I first noticed was how happy all the children were and the array of toys and activities available to them. My daughter started when she was 11 month and it is amazing to see how much she has developed since then. She has developed a great vocabulary, social skills and is becoming more confident and outgoing everyday. The staff at Playschool really seem to love their jobs and the children. I love the way they identify each childs interests and tailor activities to encourage that interest and also teach the other children. The food provided is outstanding - my child is often the first to the table at each meal and usually the last to leave! In fact, my daughter loves Playschool so much it's often hard to get her to come home!

As a first time mum, enrolling my 3.5mth old baby in daycare was a major deal. Ideally I would have the luxury of part time work to spend time with him, but needs must, I had to find somewhere that would offer him a happy, nuturing environment that had the same quality standards and values that I have personally. Having visited 6 daycare centres in the area, Playschool won me over the minute I walked into the centre. It is purpose built, clean and child focused. Now that my son has been there 6mths, I have to say that the staff are fantastic and I can leave him each day relaxed and reassured about the fact that he is cared for by loving, fun, responsible people where their primary concern is your child getting the care and attention that you would want to be giving them yourself. The food is healthy and nutritious, they have been nothing but supportive in my desire for my son to wear re-usable nappies and to be fed expressed breast milk. The location is ideal - off dangerous main roads and plenty of parking. The pricing is comparable to other centres, despite better quality. I am a raving fan of Playschool and I look forward to my boy progressing through to school age in their wonderful care!
