## Reviews
### null review (5/5)

Our son has been at Backyard Kids since it opened, and has transitioned through all 3 rooms. He has become part of the whanau and BYK is his second home. At every stage his teachers have been amazing - he is nurtured, supported and he has learned SO much. He has developed strong relationships with the teachers and made such good friends, when we pick him up he is never ready to leave! The activities set up by the kaiako are so creative and thoughtful, developing age appropriate skills and providing lots of fun. Having healthy food provided is one less thing we have to think about. We highly recommend Backyard Kids!

We can't recommend Backyard Kids enough, our boy has been there since opening day. He loves his Kaiako, and so do we! He's made some lovely friends, and his little sister has just joined the crew too. We know they are in safe hands which means a lot to us as parents. They are also very well fed, coming home to tell us what the wonderful BYK chef has made for the day.

We’ve had a great experience with Backyard kids. The Manuka room is such an amazingly supportive, safe space. It really does feel like an extension of your village. The support for us as parents, as well as the care taken with our son’s education has been greatly appreciated. Looking forward to the next journey in the bigger kids room!
