“I enrolled my baby Feb 2023 and have no issues dropping her off each day. She loves her kaiako and her hoa and i can see it in the way she is when shes there. The staff and whanau are all lovely and friendly always welcoming when we arrive and when we leave. Were a small kohanga and its a perfect way to adjust your baby as it can be overwhelming with lots of other children and adults around.”

“Unfortunately would not recommend this kohanga from our experiences while our son was there in 2021. It had poor governance, the values were not of whanaungatanga, or mana enhancing to our whanau or sons kuia, and also to another hospital works family while there. Would not recommend to other Waikato hospital or CBD staff, nor new parents to kohanga until the goverance has been sorted and an ERO review has been done. Hope things improve as its a great location.”
