We've been with Growing Minds for two and a half years, and it's truly been a wonderful experience. The teachers are always so warm and welcoming, and our child made such great friends—it’s been pure joy seeing them so happy every day.
We never had any issues during our time here, which speaks volumes about how well this place is run.
We’re so grateful for all the beautiful memories Growing Minds has given our family. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a loving and supportive daycare!

"My son has been going to Growing Minds since he was about 10 months . I was honestly so worried about sending him to any daycare especially one that was so convenient to us because it’s 2 minutes from our house , but there is no other centre I would have chosen to send my little man too . All the teachers are absolutely amazing . So kind . So gentle and so so so patient with all the Tamariki . He comes home with a new skill everyday . Send your kiddo here and watch them flourish"

We're grateful for their efforts and highly recommend them."

My Daughter has been at Growing Minds now for over a year and she absolutely loves it. I have seen a drastic difference in her confidence and social skills since enrolling her. The teachers are amazing and communicate effectively to make sure the children are well looked after. They provide healthy, homecooked meals on site that tailor to your child's dietary requirements and needs. I absolutely feel confident leaving my daughter in the hands of Jenny and her team, giving me piece of mind when I am at work that she is being cared for with love, compassion and encouragement to cultivate learning and exploring. 10/10 would recommend!

All 3 of my children have attended Growing Minds over the years. My 3 year old is currently there and she loves going to kindy which speaks volumes of the love, care and attention she receives. The best part is that I can get on with my day knowing my child is safe and happy.

"We tried the big franchise centres before coming across GM and we never looked back. We have been a part of the GM family since 2016 with the last one out of 3 kids left to graduate this year and he started at 4 months old. Teachers take such a personal approach to the kids learning and well-being, very friendly and approachable and the whole vibe of the centre is family orientated."
