Kindercare Johnsonville

I feel really blessed to have found such a supportive home away from home for my child. The kaiako go the extra mile and are really dedicated.

This centre has been such a positive place for our daughter. She comes home smiling and is always excited to go back. The teachers create such a warm, caring atmosphere. A big bonus for us is the nutritious meals provided each day, it’s reassuring knowing she’s being so well cared for.

Such a fantastic ECE centre with caring, passionate teachers and a welcoming environment. The ready for school programme is amazing and really helps build children’s confidence, independence, and love for learning. Their learning experiences are always engaging and thoughtfully planned.

We have had such a wonderful experience at this centre! My two-year-old absolutely loves her teachers and is always so excited to go each day. The kaiako are warm, caring, and create such a nurturing environment where she feels safe, supported, and happy. One of her favourite things is exploring the huge playground and outdoor spaces, which always spark so much confidence, and fun. It’s so lovely seeing how much she has grown socially and emotionally since attending here. We’re so grateful for the genuine care and dedication from all of the teachers. Highly recommend to any whānau looking for a loving and engaging ECE centre!

We have loved our three and a half years with Kindercare Johnsonville. My son comes home with so much new information each day! We are very grateful for the kaiako who have helped him grow.

This centre has a very special place in our hearts and while living in Wellington, we feel very lucky to have had such an amazing team support us in growing our babies! Thank you team!

We absolutely love this daycare. The spaces are welcoming, well set up, and create such a lovely environment for the children. The teachers are incredibly caring, friendly, and approachable, and the routines have always made our son feel comfortable and settled. He has genuinely always enjoyed going there, which says so much about the atmosphere and care provided. The outdoor space is amazing!

The level of care the kaiako have is amazing and their set ups are so engaging!

Miss Kelly is the kindest teacher. The kaiako really care and give their best to the little kids. The play areas outside are super cute too! The kids are happy here ❤️✨

Lovely centre with caring kaiako. A home away from home for our daughter.

Lovely centre in our local community. Teachers are knowledgeable, kind and caring. A great place with an awesome community to be a part of.

Lovely atmosphere and welcoming environment.

Fabulous centre. Teachers so friendly and enthusiastic. My grandson is so happy there and has lots of friends (children and staff)

One of the best centres, really recommend it.

Thank you so much! It’s so sad to have our son’s Kindercare journey come to an end, but we can see the values, self-confidence and self-worth you have all helped to develop and strengthen in him as he navigates making new friends, tackling new challenges and making the big transition to school. He has made such wonderful friends through his journey (as have we!) and I’m sure he will be keen to say hi whenever he swings by dropping off or picking up his brother. Kindercare provided such a supportive, collaborative environment to help him thrive during transitions and periods of change, as well as build his language and understanding of his body and mind as we navigate the world with his potential neurodiverse diagnosis. The extra meetings with kaiako to build individualised plans and strategies to use at daycare and carry over to home as well were such a huge help for us to build confidence and resilience as a family while we figured out what worked best to support him. Kaiako listened and made us feel heard and valued when things were tough and celebrated with us when things went well. You have given our son the space to grow in his own unique way. We’re so very proud of our big man heading off to school and everything he has achieved socially, emotionally, physically and academically at Kindercare. You’ve been a home for him to grow and learn, and for that we will be forever grateful.

We had a great experience throughout the period our child attended the Kindercare Johnsonville. The staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. An amazing community ,whose teachers and carers exude professionalism at all times. We found the centre clean, and provided a learning ,supportive and fun environment for our child. They used a variety of educational, developmental, engaging and creative play activities which were fit for purpose and prepared our child for their post kindy learning.

We enrolled our daughter at Kindercare when she was only 1 and half. Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions we've ever taken. They have designed activities as to make the kids enjoy them selves and learn and develop at the same time. Best part is we got to know what they did all daylong from center emails. Over the years we have seen how she has grow up to be more confident and independent. Sam and team were carering and attentive. Our daughter wanted us to make food as yummy as she gets in Kindercare!. We always had the releif knowing that our child is in good hands. Even after starting school our daughter wanted us to visit Kindercare as she missed her teachers.

We love Kindercare Johnsonville! My oldest was there for 4 years and now my younger daughter is there. The teachers and staff are caring and friendly. They are always working in the best interest of your child and providing them with a safe and nurturing environment. I’ve never had any concerns. It’s a great centre! 😊

We love being a part of the Kindercare Johnsonville whānau. They have shown us incredible kindness and support since our daughter started at 9months old. The teachers have gone above and beyond for our girl and we are so grateful to them all. We could not be happier with their care and education.

Saying goodbye to Kindercare Johnsonville after more than six wonderful years feels like leaving family. The care, dedication, and love from everyone - the regular staff to relievers, have shaped our children in ways we’ll always cherish. Watching them grow, laugh, and learn in such a nurturing space has been a privilege. We can never put a price on the peace of mind we felt every time we did drop off. I remember reading an article a few years ago lambasting some early childhood centres (not Kindercare) and I was furious because they were generalising and our experience with Kindercare Johnsonville was nothing like it! When I was looking for childcare for our eldest, I immediately felt at ease when I spoke to staff on the phone. The subsequent tour felt very welcoming. The transition visits went seamlessly and it was heartwarming to see our child immediately feeling comfortable in their new environment. It was a no-brainer to have our second child here too after our eldest moved to primary. Life’s changes have taken us away sooner than planned, and it’s bittersweet. Kindercare Johnsonville will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we’re forever grateful for the memories made.

Kindercare has been such a nurturing, supportive and educational pre-school for our kids. Highly recommend Kindercare Johnsonville. Excellent teachers and fantastic communication with families.

Kindercare Johnsonville is a truly wonderful childcare centre. The teachers and staff all really care for the children as well as the whole family, and we were made to feel so welcome. Our baby/toddler absolutely thrived in their care and after being so nervous about daycare I completely changed my mind and knew he was safe and loved and having fun and learning so much. It is such a supportive, friendly and fun environment and feels like part of the family. Our family definitely recommends Johnsonville Kindercare :)

Absolutely love Kindercare and would highly recommend them to any parents thinking about sending their babies here! The teachers are incredibly loving, caring, and nurturing. They are the loving parents, when we as parents, can’t be there - they truly treat each child as their own. We felt such peace of mind knowing our babies were in such capable and kind hands, especially starting at a young age. The team are wonderful at accommodating parents’ needs, making the transition smooth and reassuring. They put a lot of effort into our children’s learning, growth and development which we appreciated so much. Their genuine warmth and open communication make all the difference. We’re so grateful to be part of the Kindercare family!

Absolutely love Kindercare! We had our son in a previous daycare for 2 months and I thought they were great, but it wasn't until we moved him to Kindercare that I realized just how much better they are! Great teacher/children ratios, fantastic communication, amazing teachers who are kind and caring and just an overall warm, caring environment.

We absolutely love all the staff at Kindercare and are so pleased with the level of care for our daughter. Every single staff member we have come across treats our girl like family. We are blown away with how much she has learned and appreciate the learning environment they foster. They are also incredibly responsive with communication and I always feel heard as a parent. Absolutely recommend.

We absolutely loved being a part of the Johnsonville KC whānau. Our son, who began when he was 6months old, was so loved and well cared for by the kaiako. The team in the Kiwi room are outstanding - they created such a safe, supportive learning environment for the children and their communication with us was great. Sam, as centre director, creates such a welcoming and open environment and moved mountains to make our time there special. We very reluctantly had to change centres because of moving house. We can't recommend this centre enough!

Outstanding care. The teachers keep you updated with near daily videos and photos of what your kids have been learning and doing.
