“Bright Beginnings has been amazing for our 20-month-old daughter! She’s always excited to go, loves spending time with her friends, and especially enjoys reading time. Madu, Evelyn take such great care of her—we feel confident and grateful knowing she’s in such a warm and nurturing environment.”

“We moved to Auckland from the US and were nervous about our daughter starting a new school in a new country. BBEC has been offered such a kind, warm and fun environment that has helped her transition to be very seamless. Our daughter looks forward to seeing her teachers and her friends each day. It gives us a lot of peace of mind to know that she’s in good hands and in a fun learning environment each day.”

“If you are a parent in the Panmure area looking to send your child to daycare, read on. Bright Beginnings has done well in supporting our child in all facets of his development. He loves coming to school everyday, and learning and talking to his classmates and teachers all of which have contributed positively to our relationship with him at home. The support from the entire staff has been good. These are the things that the staff do that we really value: - Consistent updates on activities via Storypark - Quick reporting of incidents involving him through Storypark and/or phone calls to us - Field trips to the zoo, museum etc - Celebrating milestones such as graduation to go to the next room, birthdays. These make the kids feel special - Everyone is just nice and willing to listen. Jawa’s created a very good environment. - The entire staff know our son well, almost as much as us After more than two years of going to this centre, our son’s become noticeably more sociable, talkative and confident. He’s also learnt important things (which we don’t typically teach him at home) like emergency response and interactions with working adults like farmers/police/First aid responders etc who visit the centre. Most importantly, the centre’s cultivated his skills in writing and reading (this is important to us). We as parents always feel welcome. We see the staff as an extension of our family (and respect them that way) especially that our son spends more of his waking hours with them during the week! Overall, we are happy and proud to have sent our son to this centre. I can’t recommend BBELC enough!”

“Amazing Centre! Our daughter transitioned from another daycare when we moved, and the team at Bright Beginnings made the change a positive experience for a little girl. The teachers are so warm and caring with the children, they make it such a welcoming environment. Our daughter runs over to give her teachers a hug at each drop off! The Centre is secure , clean and has plenty of activities for the little ones. The parent communication is great, we always get updates at pick up and via StoryPark. Can't thank the team enough for all the work they do!”
