Neemo Childcare Centre

“We LOVE Neemo. Our boy had always struggled with separation anxiety until he started to attend here a year ago. The teachers in Tohora and Tehehu rooms have been so helpful.”

“My son Jaisel has now moved on to school after spending 2 wonderful years at this daycare. When he first started, he was quite shy and emotional, and as a parent I was worried about how he would settle in. But with the amazing support of the teachers, he has grown into a confident and independent child. Before enrolling, I visited many daycares around Rolleston but didn’t get a good feeling from the environment or the teachers. The moment I visited Neemo, I was greeted with warm smiles and such a welcoming atmosphere that I felt instantly relieved and grateful to get a spot here. Throughout our time, I always felt reassured—even on days when my son cried at drop-off—that he was safe, happy, and cared for. The teachers are so supportive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children. I’m truly thankful to the whole team for giving my son such a positive start to his learning journey. I can honestly say this is the best daycare we have experienced. Highly recommend!”

“I wanted to share my experience at Neemo Childcare Centre, as I believe there are significant issues that need addressing. My son recently started attending, and I’ve noticed a concerning lack of warmth and inclusivity from the teachers. At his previous kindergarten, the staff were welcoming and engaged with all the children, regardless of their background. Unfortunately, at Neemo, it feels like the teachers are less responsive, especially towards children who don’t fit a certain mold. My son has even mentioned that when he says hello, he often doesn't receive a response. I believe that every child deserves to feel valued and welcomed in their learning environment. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of attention to inclusivity. I hope the management can recognize this issue and work towards creating a more welcoming atmosphere for all children.”

“We moved our 2 children here after a move from Auckland where they were at a fantastic centre. Neemos has not disappointed and the kids love it. The outdoor areas in all of the rooms are fun and provide great challenge and experience for the children and the teachers are so loving and energetic. As always there are a few teething issues especially being a new centre but nothing compared to what we have heard from many friends at so many other centres across the country, and nothing that hasn't been communicated by management first, anyway!”

“My kids have been here right from the get go and I've been itching to finally post a review based on my own personal experience. This centre has come a long way. Warm and welcoming as soon as we set foot through the doors. I feel my kids are safe, loved and cared for. They both have also come a long way too. Their growth and development is really showing through. Regular updates online through Educa keep me well informed and I absolutely LOVE seeing my children's stories on there. Makes me feel really connected and involved in their learning journey.”
