Parent Reviews
“Thank you so much! It’s so sad to have our son’s Kindercare journey come to an end, but we can see the values, self-confidence and self-worth you have all helped to develop and strengthen in him as he navigates making new friends, tackling new challenges and making the big transition to school. He has made such wonderful friends through his journey (as have we!) and I’m sure he will be keen to say hi whenever he swings by dropping off or picking up his brother. Kindercare provided such a supportive, collaborative environment to help him thrive during transitions and periods of change, as well as build his language and understanding of his body and mind as we navigate the world with his potential neurodiverse diagnosis. The extra meetings with kaiako to build individualised plans and strategies to use at daycare and carry over to home as well were such a huge help for us to build confidence and resilience as a family while we figured out what worked best to support him. Kaiako listened and made us feel heard and valued when things were tough and celebrated with us when things went well. You have given our son the space to grow in his own unique way. We’re so very proud of our big man heading off to school and everything he has achieved socially, emotionally, physically and academically at Kindercare. You’ve been a home for him to grow and learn, and for that we will be forever grateful.”
“We had a great experience throughout the period our child attended the Kindercare Johnsonville. The staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. An amazing community ,whose teachers and carers exude professionalism at all times. We found the centre clean, and provided a learning ,supportive and fun environment for our child. They used a variety of educational, developmental, engaging and creative play activities which were fit for purpose and prepared our child for their post kindy learning.”
“Kindercare Johnsonville is a truly wonderful childcare centre. The teachers and staff all really care for the children as well as the whole family, and we were made to feel so welcome. Our baby/toddler absolutely thrived in their care and after being so nervous about daycare I completely changed my mind and knew he was safe and loved and having fun and learning so much. It is such a supportive, friendly and fun environment and feels like part of the family. Our family definitely recommends Johnsonville Kindercare :)”
“We absolutely love all the staff at Kindercare and are so pleased with the level of care for our daughter. Every single staff member we have come across treats our girl like family. We are blown away with how much she has learned and appreciate the learning environment they foster. They are also incredibly responsive with communication and I always feel heard as a parent. Absolutely recommend.”
“We absolutely loved being a part of the Johnsonville KC whānau. Our son, who began when he was 6months old, was so loved and well cared for by the kaiako. The team in the Kiwi room are outstanding - they created such a safe, supportive learning environment for the children and their communication with us was great. Sam, as centre director, creates such a welcoming and open environment and moved mountains to make our time there special. We very reluctantly had to change centres because of moving house. We can't recommend this centre enough!”
