Family social worker here — I’ve visited Little Darlings through my work with whānau, and have always found the environment warm, nurturing, and safe. Tamariki clearly enjoy being there and have strong bonds with staff. Parents consistently tell me they feel their children are well cared for and love going to daycare, and I will continue to recommend this centre for the children I support. Thanks for the great mahi Little Darlings!

> I fell in love with this little centre. I really love how they respect the children—not just in words, but in the way they treat them every day. The teachers speak in soft, kind voices, and that calmness gently flows through the room, settling the children. You can see how safe and secure they feel. The children are happy, relaxed, and confident to be themselves. There is a sense of peace here, a place where little hearts are nurtured with patience, dignity, and genuine care. I highly recommend this centre.

Best daycare in Rotorua. All the staff are lovely - they always have different and new activities out for the kids to do. Cool outdoor area.  Put two kids through little darlings, one since 4 months old and other since 7 months. My big girl has since left but goes in every so often and doesn’t want to leave.
