It’s welcoming, warm, friendly, loving, fun, nurturing and engaging! We had our son attend not long after the centre opened and I’m so glad we chose Little Ferns. Our son has learnt so much from the teachers here and has made some lifelong friends. We loved the nursery and the safe environment. It was reassuring for this first time mum to leave her son (when returning to work) in such great care with the AMAZING teachers. We are now in the Pikopiko room and our son is thriving and the teachers are also his “best friends” in here too. The Kai is amazing in both taste and variety. My son eats like a king and I feel so content that my daughter will also get to experience all the wonderful things that make Little Ferns the best preschool for our Tamariki. ### null review (5/5) We have been part of Little Ferns just over a year.. My son just turned 3and he is so happy and self sufficient and can even see the good habits at home... We started our journey at a different daycare in 2024 but it was hard to leave him and when he was difficult they weren't very helpful. Since we moved to Little Ferns the house has been happier. Every teacher and reliever is so friendly, caring and helpful. Everyone works together from the office to the kitchen and every team member. We are very happy and my son is very happy and so independent now. Definitely saw a big difference since we moved to them. Highly recommend this Centre to any family.. ### null review (5/5) We are so grateful to the Little Ferns team for everything they have supported us with over the last year. They have been incredibly accommodating as we navigated a number of unexpected changes, each adjustment to her booking feeling like no hassel at all. As our daughter began settling into preschool, we watched her quickly thrive in the safe and warm, home away from home, environment they have created. They have always treated her as an individual and met her where she is, providing her with what she needs to feel at ease in a space she feels truly seen. We are so thankful for everyone at Little Ferns and the part they play in our experience. From Kendall, the manager, who makes nothing feel like a hassle, to Nicky at reception welcoming us every morning, to the staff on the floor keeping us updated on her growth, always taking the time to tell us about her day and her progress, with constant warm encouragement, to Jess in the kitchen who cooks wonderful nutritious meals for her each day. We feel blessed to be apart of the Little Ferns whanau and would highly recommend them to others.
