Little Pukeko's Testimonials
Little Pukeko's Testimonials
Little Pukeko’s is an absolutely wonderful centre. All the staff are incredible at what they do. It’s a warm, welcoming place that soon becomes a second home for your child. The centre is well-equipped with loads for the kids to do and a nice size and ratio of babies to three year olds. Our whanau have loved our time there and will be very sad when it’s our time to leave.

We enrolled our little man when he was only 7 months old at Little Pukeko's after having had our older two children cared for at another centre, but by the same staff. We were very nervous as this was the youngest we had put any of the children into care. The staff at Little Pukeko's made the whole process easy to cope with, for both myself and our baby. I was able to return to work knowing my baby was being cared for in a nurturing and caring environment, all his needs were being met and during his time there he grew into a confident, caring, fun, extremely happy little man. Keian's love of exploring and curious nature was always encouraged, from which he has developed a passion for learning. The staff at Little Pukeko's were always available to discuss any concerns we had, and I consider them family. They played a huge role in the daily raising of our baby and if we could, we would have taken the staff with us when we moved towns to continue caring for our son, we wouldn't have hesitated. I have since recommended Little Pukeko's to friends that are considering putting their little ones into childcare, and will continue to do so. We miss you.
