### null review (5/5)

Both of our kids have been at Blue Cottage, couldn’t be happier with the entire team. There is a real whanau feeling, which we love. Our youngest Frankie is 3 and in the Tipa room. The girls in Tipa are the best, Frankie loves going to BC!

Blue Cottage has been incredible community to be part of. What a wonderful childcare environment with such caring staff from the front desk to those working daily with the children.

My son had some allergies and the team were incredibly accommodating for us in the trial and error it took to get through that stage. I so appreciated it.

There is nothing better for a parent than leaving with full peace of mind your child is ok. Would highly recommend!

Our family loves The Blue Cottage. It has a familial atmosphere. All details have been considered to ensure you feel safe, welcome, and that your child’s needs are being adhered to. The activities the teachers come up with are next to none. Jo and her team are exceptional communicators and you can bet they’ll work hard to accommodate you. 10/10 would recommend.
