Summerfield Early Learning Centre

“Our family has had the absolute pleasure of being part of the Summerfield community, and we cannot recommend this daycare highly enough. From the very first day, the team made us feel supported, heard, and reassured—turning what could have been a stressful transition into a joyful experience. The Pipi Room team created such a warm and nurturing environment for our daughter. She has loved every moment, running up the ramp each morning with a big smile on her face. The staff’s thoughtful approach to her development—from guiding us through small changes like teat sizes to supporting her milestones—has been invaluable. A special shout-out goes to Anna and Latecia, whose warmth, attentiveness, and dedication have been extraordinary. They consistently go above and beyond, and knowing our daughter was in their care has meant the world to us. Honestly, her next teachers have some very big shoes to fill! Behind the scenes, Angela and Louise have done an amazing job organizing fun events like crazy hair days, arts and crafts, and bikeathons—making Summerfield feel like a true family. If you’re looking for a daycare that combines professionalism, genuine care, and a joyful environment, Summerfield is the place. We will miss everyone dearly and feel so grateful that our daughters first daycare experience was here.”

“We absolutely love Summerfield! Our daughter Elna has been part of the Summerfield whānau since she was one, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, professional, and dedicated—and they’ve played such a big part in shaping Elna into the confident, curious, and joyful girl she is today. From the pipi room to her final days, Elna was always supported with love, patience, and creativity. Even during the tough times like COVID, the team never wavered in their care and communication. We always felt safe and reassured knowing Elna was in such good hands. We’ve recommended Summerfield to many of our friends, and we will continue to do so. The impact the team has had on our family is something we’ll always be thankful for. Thank you Summerfield team, you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts. With gratitude, Adel & Pari”

“Our kids loved Summerfield! The teachers were great and the environment fantastic ... I really liked how we were updated on what happened during the day with our daughter and son through a mobile app, and loved seeing pictures of the kids having lots of fun. Older children got their first taste of school as Summerfield has a prep class 6 months before kids turn 5 to help them understand school routine. The XMAS show was a highlight in December and Santa arrives in the most incredible way!”

“We are so thankful to have our little one enrolled at Summerfield. The Pipi room teachers are all absolutely wonderful and have fostered such a lovely and nurturing environment. She has such a strong bond with her teachers and you can see the love they have for their roles in our kiddos lives. All of the centre staff are fantastic, the food nutritious, facilities are pristine, and communication is excellent. We know or little one is in the best hands possible. Thank you so much!”
