Magic Kingdom Childcare

“We moved to Auckland when my daughter was 3 years and 4 months old. She turned 5 just last week, and I still remember how, on the day after we moved, she started attending Magic Kingdom. To my surprise, she didn’t need any transition period—she settled in from day one and started going full days. I truly believe it was the warm, welcoming nature of the team that made her feel so comfortable so quickly. As parents, nothing makes us happier than seeing our children happy and thriving. One of the things I really appreciated was how affordable the full-day programme is, especially considering it includes morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. My daughter loved eating with her friends, and mealtimes became something she looked forward to each day. The activities at Magic Kingdom have been incredibly engaging and thoughtful. She especially enjoyed doing experiments and participating in role play. The regular updates shared through Learning and Shoots have been commendable—it’s wonderful to see what the kids are up to. Overall, we’ve had a wonderful experience, and I know my daughter will truly miss the school. On a final note, I want to thank the team for always listening to our needs and accommodating schedule adjustments whenever requested. A special thank you to the Center Head, Jinita for being so supportive. Her confidence today, on her graduation day, is a reflection of the nurturing environment she has been part of—and for that, I am truly grateful..☺️”

“Thank You to Jinita, Ateka, and the Amazing Daycare Team As a first-time mom, I was really nervous when I first left my 6-month-old, Sharvil, at daycare. In the beginning, I used to call or message Jinita all the time just to check if he was okay. I honestly thought she might be thinking, “This lady keeps disturbing me, I have so much to do!” But I was so wrong. Jinita, you were always so kind and patient. You even went downstairs yourself to check on Sharvil and make sure he was doing fine. That meant so much to me. A big thank you to Ateka as well—you do so much for Sharvil every day, and I can see how much love and care you give him. I truly appreciate it. And to the lovely teacher (I’m so sorry I don’t remember your name!) who once told me, “We know when Sharvil is hungry because he gives us signs”—that really stayed with me. Sometimes, even I don’t know what he wants right away, but you all understand him so well. That says everything about how closely and lovingly you care for him. Thank you all for being there for my baby—and for me. You’ve made this journey so much easier, and I’ll always be grateful. With love, Smita and Bhavin”

“I have a nearly 4 year old who has been attending Magic Kingdom since he was 1. He has had such a great experience. The teachers are great with kids, and engage them with so many activities. They introduce all of the many cultures to all children and create quite a diverse and curious learning environment. Even when there seems to be teacher turnover, new staff who are just as capable come in as replacements. The communications are also very transparent and we receive regular updates on our child's progress and development. For these reasons we continue to send our child to Magic Kingdom even thought it is not the closest centre for us and actually out of the way. They are also fair and reasonable in terms of fees and fee increases, always liaising with parents without abrupt decisions. We highly recommend.”

“Magic Kingdom Childcare has such caring and compassionate teachers. My daughter is always creating and making things and has made two good friends in less than 3 months. She feels well supported and in a trustworthy environment. They are great with communication, always organizing new events for the kids and have an amazing lunch on a 4 week rotation. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a caring environment for their child.”

“First and foremost the educators at Magic Kingdom in Blockhouse Bay are the most wonderful, genuinely caring nurturers. My little ‘pandemic baby’ had a total of three play dates before starting daycare at 11 months old and they made they transition for him (and me!) a positive and stress free experience. The core values and beliefs of Magic Kingdom align to my own as a parent, and knowing that my child is receiving a quality education based on those principles is important. I feel that the educators are just as invested in my child’s growth as a whole person, as I am. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and would highly recommend Magic Kingdom to anyone looking for childcare.”
