### null review (5/5)

My girls love Annabel’s. Having tried other daycares, none compare to the quality of Annabel’s. The beautiful, spacious outdoor area, the quality of the teachers who genuinely care, not to mention the resident chickens, guinea pigs, and the friendly bunnies who pop by to say hi to the kids — honestly, this place is one of a kind.

### null review (5/5)

I picked Annabel’s West Melton both for myself as a teacher and for my son based on the reputation that Annabel’s has both in community and among that of ECE teachers. I love that it is a big environment both inside and out where children can really explore and investigate the world around them, including opportunities to take part in gardening and looking after animals. It has now become our second home, we have built lifelong relationships with the tamariki, whanau and kaiako, I’m so happy that this is where my child has been able to spend his early years.

From a teachers perspective at Annabel's West Melton, I can say that Annabel's genuinely care about both tamariki and staff. They provide amazing resources and the grounds at West Melton are second to none.  We have a wonderful team of passionate and creative kaiako, who genuinely care about tamariki in our care.  Check us out, you won't be disappointed  🥰
