From the moment we stepped into Springbank Preschool, I knew we had found a truly special place. The love, care, and attention given to each child’s individual character are remarkable. The teachers at Springbank Preschool go above and beyond in their dedication and passion. They make each child feel valued and unique, fostering a nurturing environment where both of my children thrive. It's heartwarming to see how the staff knows every child's likes, dislikes, and quirks, and they genuinely care about their development and well-being. Leaving my babies in someone else's care was a daunting thought, but Springbank makes it so much easier with their supportive and comforting atmosphere. The staff's warm and welcoming approach reassures me every day that my children are in the best hands. Thank you, Springbank, for making this transition so smooth and for being a second family to my kids! 🌟 ### null review (5/5) We couldn’t be more delighted with Springbank Preschool and how the teachers have cared for and continue to care for our children. When we first moved over from the UK our daughter was quite a shy and retiring two year old. The attention, affection and dedication that she received at Preschool turned her into a confident, fun loving and happy individual, ready for her transition to school. Our four year old has thrived at Preschool, from joining the Under Twos aged one, to transitioning and blossoming in the Overs. The teachers are always so keen to make sure she is happy and stimulated with a great variety of activities, both academic and environmental. Our near two year old has spent the last year in the Unders and so enjoys being there that he’s rather disappointed when it’s not a Preschool day! He is so well nurtured and supported there and gets such a great level of individual attention. The facilities throughout Preschool are very good and it’s such a bonus that they are able to get out and use the extensive school grounds for walking and exploring. As parents we are always made to feel welcome and given amazing feedback through the Storypark stories. We would wholeheartedly recommend Springbank Preschool and feel extremely lucky to have the privilege of sending our three children there. ### null review (5/5) After arriving back in Kerikeri, due to a family emergency, Springbank picked us up and wrapped us in wonderful care, community, kindness and inspirational distraction for the kids and me. Both my children have absolutely thrived under the gentle guidance of the incredible teachers there, and so have I, as a teacher for my children. The space and environment at preschool is a wonderland for exploration, growth and fun. The teachers love their jobs and you can absolutely tell this. They explore each activity and every moment with the kids with kindness, creativity and, at the heart of it all, fun. I love knowing, when I drop Enoki, she will be cared for and loved as if she is their own child. The range of activities and adventures on offer for the kids is outstanding. And their growth reflects this - echoed by teaching with love. And the use of te reo Māori, through every touch point with the kids, throughout the day, really made me proud of where schooling in NZ has come to since I was a child. Thank you Springbank preschool - I really think there is no other like you guys.
