We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Bear Park Childcare. The rooms are all fantastic spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for children to learn and thrive. The undercover ourdoor areas and gardens mean the kids get fresh air even during the rainy weather. The teachers in The Pepe, Fantail, and Moa rooms room are truly amazing they're so caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. It’s such a comfort knowing our child is in such kind and capable hands every day. The centre management are clearly committed to ensuring the centre stays up to date and well run, which gives us great confidence as parents. Highly recommend Bear Park to any family looking for a nurturing early childhood environment!

As a grandparent, I couldn’t be happier with Bear Park Early Childcare Centre in Mairangi Bay.

The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming. I especially appreciate how they take the time to share little updates about my grandsons day — those moments mean so much.

The facilities are beautiful and well maintained, with lovely outdoor spaces for the children to explore. Most importantly, my grandson is always happy and excited to go.

It gives me great peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and kind hands. Highly recommend.

After looking at around nine different daycares, choosing Bear Park Mairangi Bay was one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the very beginning, the environment felt welcoming, calm, and genuinely child‑focused.
My daughter started in the Pepe room and has since moved into Fantail, and the transition was handled so thoughtfully. She absolutely loves her teachers and has built such lovely friendships. It’s clear how much care and attention the staff give to each child, she feels safe, supported, and excited to be there every day.
She truly thrives in this environment and comes home happy, confident, and full of smiles each day. The teachers are warm, engaged, and clearly passionate about what they do, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents.
We are so grateful to be part of the Bear Park Mairangi Bay community and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other families looking for a nurturing, high‑quality early childhood center.
