New Shoots Children's Centre - Westgate

“Our daughter currently attends New Shoots Westgate and we couldn't be happier with the love and care she receives from this daycare. She started in Whenua room who made her adjustment to daycare so much easier, she went from crying at drop offs to now reaching for her teachers in Te Rito room. We get great photo updates of how her day has been and they have had such cool events like spa days and dress ups. I visited a LOT of daycares on maternity leave to try find one I was comfortable leaving her with and I knew straight away when I visited new shoots that this was where I wanted her to go. I am so so glad they managed to fit us in ! Make time to visit if you are considering going here, it is well worth taking a look!”

“We are very happy with Aaron’s experience at New Shoots. The teachers are caring, patient, and always make him feel safe and supported. Every day he comes home excited to share what he learned, whether it’s new songs, art activities, or stories with his friends. The learning environment is warm and welcoming, with a perfect balance between play and education. We’ve also noticed how much his confidence and social skills have grown since starting here. We truly appreciate the dedication of the staff and the strong communication with parents. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our child is in such a positive and nurturing place. Highly recommended!”

“Our baby started at New Shoots about a month ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. As first-time parents, we were nervous about sending our 6-month-old to daycare, but the teachers were so kind, honest, and wonderful in helping her adjust. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and it’s clear they genuinely care. Our little one is always happy and smiling when we pick her up, which reassures us every day. We truly recommend New Shoots to any parent looking for a safe and loving environment for their child.”

“We visited New Shoots Westgate during my pregnancy as we were exploring centres for our first child, and it came highly recommended by our neighbours. From the beginning, the Centre Administrator, Melanie, was incredibly responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The centre itself made a wonderful impression – clean, well-organised, and very welcoming. When I later decided to extend my maternity leave, Melanie met me with genuine compassion and took the time to talk through our options, which we really appreciated. We’re so excited to start with New Shoots Westgate next year and feel confident that our little one will be in great hands!”

“A Huge Thank You to New Shoots and the Amazing Team! I just want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff at New Shoots, Westgate for the incredible care and support they provide to my 7 months old son. From the very first day, we felt welcomed by the warm and friendly team, making the transition so much easier for both us as parents and for our son. A special thank you to Mel, Emma and the team for their kindness, patience, and dedication. It is truly comforting to know that our son is in such caring hands every day. The way they engage with him, encourage his learning, and ensure he feels safe and happy means the world to us. The centre itself is always clean, well-organized, and beautifully maintained, creating a safe and inviting space for the children. The facilities and activities provided are of high quality, allowing the little ones to explore, learn, and grow in a nurturing environment. We are so grateful to have found such a fantastic daycare, and we highly recommend New Shoots to any parent looking for a place where their child will be well cared for and loved. Thank you again to Mel, Emma and the entire team for everything you do!”
