### null review (5/5)

Both my daughters attended Small Poppies from babies right through to school.  They both absolutely loved it there!  They were lucky to have such caring and passionate teachers who guided their learning and interests with fun experiences.  They have gone to school confident, able and with knowledge of themselves as capable learners in all areas.  The friendships they made at Poppies have continued on through school.

A wonderful Early Childhood experience for both my girls.

Have had 3 children go here started at 2yrs, 3yrs and 10mths as small poppies then moved into busy bees as the crntre renamed. The kaiako are amazing and care about the tamariki. Providing more opportunities of learning a time goes on, with having a garden to share with whanau, tamariki learn to grow veges, collect eggs from chickens and now have pet bunnies to help care for. The 4 yr old program is great aswell taking their learning into the community. I recommend busy bees highly.

I have two children at poppies and we love it, both have been going since they were 3 months old. The teachers are lovely, the play area is kept tidy, the kids learn to sit nicely together and eat meals.
