From the moment we first walked through the door when my daughter was only 9 months old, the warm, welcoming environment and dedicated staff made it clear that this was a place where my child would not only be safe but would also thrive. The teachers are nothing short of amazing. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing, engaging, and educational experience for the children. I’ve seen my daughter grow in confidence, learn new skills, and develop socially in ways I never imagined. The communication between staff and parents is exceptional. I always feel informed and involved, whether it's through daily reports, pictures, or the quick updates I receive during the day. The facility itself is clean, safe, and designed with the children’s well-being in mind. The outdoor play areas are perfect for physical activity, and the classrooms are bright, cheerful, and full of toys, books and much more to suit every child. Most importantly, my daughter LOVES going to daycare. She runs in with a big smile on her face every morning. It gives me peace of mind to know she’s in such good hands. I definitely recommend Active Explorers to any parent looking for a daycare that provides not only excellent care but a place where children are encouraged to grow, learn, and thrive. Thank you, for everything you do! ### null review (5/5) We absolutely love Active Explorers Kaiwharawhara and can't recommend it enough! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children. The teachers always keep us informed about our son's day, sharing updates on everything from new skills he's achieved to moments when he did something special or different. It's so reassuring to know that they are not only watching over him but also celebrating his growth. The best part is that our son absolutely loves attending each day - seeing him so happy to go in the morning makes us so grateful. We couldn't ask for a better place for him to learn and grow! ### null review (5/5) Active Explorers Kaiwharawhara has exceeded our expectations for a daycare. The staff are all lovely and go above and beyond to care for the kids. The centre has a lovely family feel and our daughter absolutely loves coming every day.
