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

Very happy with my experience with Piwaka my first child attended for 4.5 years and left a very confident and capable little boy ready for school. I had no doubts  when I had my second child and it was time for me to return to work that Piwaka was the right place for him. The teachers helped to settle my little man with warm cuddles and respecting his routine that we had developed at home. He is now happy to be dropped off each morning and I am comfortable to leave him. Highly reccomend.

My son started at Pīwaka at 9 months old and I am so glad I chose this daycare.
He loved going everyday and the teachers in the Huia room were so attached to him and form such lovely relationships with the children.
We have since moved overseas and will struggle to find a daycare as good as Piwaka.

I strongly recommend Piwaka to those looking for an all encompassing childcare for their children.  My son has been beautifully looked after by caring, supportive and knowledgeable carers and teachers throughout his four years there.  It is clear that it is excellently managed and this feeds throughout the centre, staff turnover is minimal and the relationships we have built have been valued and long lasting.  Highlights for me were; being very happy with each and every teacher we encountered, the healthy food served each day, the school readiness program which tooled up my son well in preparation, trips to Kiwi Valley/the Observatory/parks etc, Playball and the interesting and challenging activities that my son enjoyed and thrived within each day.  A huge thank you to Grant, Rachel and the Piwaka Team, it has been an absolute pleasure :-D
