“Beautiful Kindy, as soon as my boy started we felt like whānau, welcomed straight away. They loved him like their own and he loved his time there.”
“If you’re looking for a home away from home for your little one, David Henry Kindy is the place to go. From the moment you walk through the gates you get a sense of home. The kaiako are very welcoming, kind and friendly. The outdoor space has been amazing for our adventurous little guy - very spacious, lots of real grass and equipment to challenge and explore. Would highly recommend checking the out 🙂”
