### null review (5/5)

The Gardens ECE is a very friendly, warm and inviting centre. My son really enjoys his time here as he never wants to leave. The staff are lovely, amazing and very approachable. I also find that they are easy to talk to aswell and have the time to do so which is a big part of the effective communication between parents/whanau and teachers. I love hearing about what my son has been up to each day and his learning. This centre has a great playground in the toddlers with a tree house and in the older children an awesome plane that the children can go inside and feels what it's like to be in one with a tree house as well and of course some loveable animals a rabbit, a friendly parrot bird and some guinea pigs which the children love to spend time with. I know they take great care of every single child in their care and it makes me feel at ease when I drop my son off knowing that he loves it here. The teachers have always been very welcoming towards my family and it feels like a second home for us.

What a relief it was to find such a great daycare after checking out several childcare centres in the area. My son seems to enjoy being part of the centre and the teachers are all very welcoming.
Awesome big outdoor area for the children to play. There are also pet animals (Rabbit & Parrot) on-site.
