Such a wonderful kindy, every single staff member including regular relievers are amazing. So accommodating and always go the extra mile to make our boy feel comfortable and happy at kindy. We have a wee sensitive soul who takes a long time to warm up to people, all the forest view staff have been so amazing, patient and really loving towards him, this has made it so easy. He absolutely loves this space and looks forward to every kindy day.

The learning environment is exceptional, learning through play and experience, something new and exciting for the kids every day which makes learning effortless. It is obvious that the staff are passionate and take pride in their roles as kaiako and for me, when looking at childcare options, this is the main thing I am observant about for my tamariki.

As a whānau, we are incredibly grateful to have made the move here for our children, and we could not reccomend this kindy enough.

Wonderful kindy! Beautiful environment, warm and calm atmosphere, with big beautiful trees and native bush. Plenty of quality resources that are rotated, as well as extra activities. Beautiful teachers that are kind,  caring and fun! They really get to know the children and expand on their interests.

Our adventurous boy recently started at forest view and absolutely loves it. The teachers are wonderful and so is the fun that is to be had outside and in. We especially love the zero waste inicative and outdoor nature learning aspect. Thank you for being so welcoming to our whanau 😊
