  • My little one settled so quickly into the nursery which is a sure sign how wonderful it is! Despite lots of changes to the building we’ve experienced very little disruption and I am excited to see the renovations! We’ve also experienced very little sickness all things considered which is a testament to the cleanliness and care from the staff! We have attended weekend events as a family which is lovely as we get to spend time with the staff and see the day to day nursery settings. I am pleased we picked Whanau nursery 😃

  • My son has been attending Whanau for over a year now, and the progress he’s made has been incredible. He absolutely loves going to school and nearly runs in every day, arms wide open, ready to greet his teachers and staff with a big hug. The school is safe, clean, and incredibly welcoming. The level of care my child receives is outstanding, and I’m truly grateful for the exceptional support and leadership provided. The teachers and staff are approachable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely care about each individual child. My son has a very bold personality and does need a bit of extra attention, which he consistently receives. He’s learned so many new words, developed a love for reading, and even picked up great table manners. I couldn’t be happier with the positive impact this school has had on him. Thank you for all you do!
