Playday

“Playday is a wonderful preschool in Ōrākei. It is a community-based, not-for-profit centre with a warm and loving atmosphere. The teacher–child ratio is excellent (1:5), so every child gets plenty of attention and care. The teachers are fully dedicated, creating new play-based learning activities every day so children learn while having fun. Teachers build very close relationships with families, always sharing photos, videos, and updates about the children. Many families enrol more than one child here, and introduce our friends to come. Over time the teachers, parents, and children have all become like one big family！It truly feels like a big, supportive family. Highly recommended for 2–5 year olds!”

“Playday is such a special place. The Kaiako are so warm and nurturing to the children and really take the time to know them and bond with them. My son is so happy there, we love this centre and highly recommend it!”

“I am so grateful to have found Playday for my daughter! The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to providing a nurturing environment that fosters growth and development. The facility is clean, safe, and well-maintained, with a variety of age-appropriate activities and toys that keep my child engaged and stimulated. What impresses me most is the attention to detail and the extra mile the staff goes to ensure each child feels loved and supported. From the daily reports to the open communication, I always feel informed and connected to my daughter's day. My daughter has thrived at Playday, making new friends and learning new skills every day. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent seeking a trustworthy, supportive, and enriching environment for their child. Five stars and a big thank you to the entire team!”

“The teachers at Playday in Orakei are truly exceptional. The genuine connection that they make with all of the children is incredible. The child to teacher ratios are amazing and the small numbers mean that there is a family like feel to the care. Both of my boys (one has just finished) absolutely love it. I know how difficult this type of decision is for parents and appreciate others providing this type of feedback.”

“Playday was a wonderful place for my daughter to begin her preschool experience. The teachers are warm, friendly and encouraging. The indoor and outdoor areas have a very good variety of activities and provide a safe and comfortable environment for little ones to explore. It was fantastic to watch my shy girl fit in so easily and grow so much in confidence while she was there. Thanks Playday!”
