### null review (5/5)

We moved from the North Island and looked at 14 daycare centres before landing on cuddles. We were so pleased with our last daycare centre that it was hard to find something that matched that standard. Thank goodness for Cuddles! From the moment we walked through that front door we were welcomed by centre manager Winnie and her team. Her and her team are exceptional. They genuinely care for the children and I personally love the centre’s philosophy on assisting children with learning tools for emotion regulation. As a parent, you have to trust your gut instinct and for us our gut said “this is our centre”. We start settling visits this week and are over the moon with our choice.  HIGHLY recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Lexie's new preschool! It's been two months since my daughter started here, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only has she become brave and confident, but she's also flourishing academically. From the warm welcome to the nurturing environment, every aspect of this preschool fosters growth and development. The teachers are amazing, and their dedication shines through in every interaction. We are beyond grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter. Highly recommend!

My son had a wonderful time at Cuddles from when he was one and a half years old until he was almost three. Under the guidance of the teachers, he grew a lot, learned many ways to interact with others, and formed many beautiful friendships. Nicole and Tony from the Snuggle Room were always willing to listen to his needs and constantly encouraged him to express himself. At the same time, manager Winnie was always ready to improve her team to meet the children's needs. I'm extremely grateful to every teacher at Cuddles！
