Parent Reviews
“Kindercare Avonhead will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Both of our daughters have spent their early years here, and we feel so incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication shown by every teacher and team member. From their very first days, the teachers welcomed them with warmth, patience, and genuine kindness. They are not just educators — they are the heart and soul of this place, guiding the children with love, laughter, and wisdom every single day. We’ve watched our girls grow from shy toddlers into confident, happy, and caring children who love to learn and share. That transformation was made possible by the wonderful team at Kindercare. To the Centre Manager and all the amazing teachers — thank you for creating such a safe, inspiring, and heartwarming environment. Our family will forever cherish the memories and friendships made here. 💛”

“Having had our daughter go through Kindercare Riccarton, enrolling our son at Kindercare Avonhead was an easy decision. It was important to us that he was happy, healthy and ready for school. Our son has just started at school, often talking about kaiako, his friends and the memories he made at preschool. The teaching team were loving and respectful as well as challenging him holistically, engaging him in planned activities and experiences that were based on his interests and needs right the way through. Thank you to all that played a part of his learning journey!”
“When looking for a daycare for my firstborn, Kindercare was 100% the best choice. We have been attending since 2023 and I intend to keep him there until he starts school. We felt a lot of support from all the staff, the environment is super clean and organised and I always felt very confident in leaving my baby boy in good hands. He is 3 years old now and every day he is super happy to go to Kindercare.”
