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

I have two children, and my son attended four different kindergartens. My daughter spent her entire kindergarten years at Fantails, so I know a thing or two about what makes a kindergarten good or bad. Fantails is the best kindergarten I have ever encountered, far exceeding my expectations. It boasts a spacious outdoor activity area as well as a top-notch indoor environment. The teachers here are the kindest, most caring, and patient educators I have ever met, and they treated my daughter exceptionally well. My daughter fell in love with the place from her very first day.

This is a wonderful daycare with excellent facilities and a large outdoor play area. The teaching team is very diverse, with educators from various countries, which creates a very inclusive and multicultural environment.

My child has been attending for over a year. Although we’ve had a few minor issues along the way, the teachers have always been responsible, attentive, and quick to resolve any concerns with clear communication. Overall, we’re very happy with our experience here.

My daughter has been attending Fantails for a year and a half now, she joined in the infants room before progressing onto the toddlers room, and we have been so so happy with our experience here. Every single teacher that has cared for my daughter has been warm, loving and genuinely kind towards her - I’m so appreciative. I know the culture they foster within is strongly geared towards providing gentle guidance, empathy and being emotional intelligent in how they care and interact with our children. The actual service Fantails provides is also to a high standard - there is a routine, there are protocols, and they following the New Zealand early learning framework very closely and keep us in the loop about how our children are progressing in relation. From the warmth I receive at reception to the support I receive from her teachers daily - I’m beyond grateful. Highly recommend.
