### null review (5/5)

My son has been at Takānini Early Learning for 3 months and is loving it, when we go to pick him up he doesnt want  to leave. He has had an acceleration in development in speech and socialisation since he started.

The teachers are caring, professional and genuinely are interested in the children. The other children are also inclusive and welcoming to new children.
We don't want to leave the area while he is in daycare since this ECE is so good.

The outside play area is large and varied.
Security is excellent.
There are no hidden areas resulting in a safe environment.
Meals are included.

My son attended this daycare from about 21 months to 42 months. Due to our family moving, we are no longer able to send him here, but I have always recommended this place to my neighbors and friends, hoping that others will know about it as well. My child really loved the teachers and friends here. As a parent, I also appreciated how the teachers always provided updates on what happened with my child each day. Melissa, who handles reception, was always kind and gave us helpful information. Additionally, the food for the children is excellent. All the teachers there care for the kids with love. Through this post, I would like to express my gratitude once again.
