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

My son adores it here. The teachers are so loving, interested, playful and kind. I feel so lucky to be part of the Rutherford preschool community. I don’t know of many parents who rave about their daycare, but the parents at Rutherford do. Only downside is the hours.

### null review (5/5)

Such dedicated teachers, who genuinely care about the tamariki in their care. Great learning environment where kids are encouraged to play as they wish; outside, inside with water, sand, paint, you name it. Small class size means you get to know the other families too. We’re looking forward to our youngest going there next year as Rutherford really helps in bringing out their personality through making them feel safe and heard.

### null review (5/5)

The staff at Rutherford Preschool really go above and beyond, loving and looking after all the kids. They engage with parents and children to create a learning programme that extends and elaborates on the children's interests. Every staff member genuinely cares deeply about the children and their learning, and that depth of relationship really allows the children to flourish. All through the lockdown they were caring and supportive, with ideas, resources and zoom calls. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
