### null review (5/5)

Both my daughters attend this centre and I can’t recommend it enough. The staff and teachers are always so friendly, so helpful and show so much love and care to my daughters. They are always so happy when I drop them  off and pick them up. They are always clean, freshly changed nappies, and have just had something yum and nutritious to eat made by the amazing on site chef. Their communication is incredible, always very detailed and thorough, and always updating us with how the girls are doing. Never have to worry about our girls. The centre manager is always so helpful and always answers the phone whenever we need anything. We love the Active Explorers team!!

What a treasure this Centre is! Like falling down a rabbit hole and ending up in Wonderland/Wonka's Chocolate factory... the staff are warm and friendly, the care is second to none and our child has improved in all development areas in the 5 months he has been here.
To support all children in their individual learning journey, where they're at, and become a part of every whanau - AE Pap I truly am grateful we found you and that we have you in our corner in G's last year before Primary School.
From Katie, Debbie to the volunteer student teachers, relievers, teachers, the Centre cook - I am so grateful to each person and the role they play.
I will forever recommend and sing the praises of this Centre

We had high expectations for Active Explorers Papakura, but sadly, it didn’t meet them. Despite the higher fees, the care and experience weren’t what we had hoped for. In the end, we felt it was best to move our child elsewhere due to ongoing concerns.
