The Tui Room teachers are great with my child. They make such an effort to greet him in the morning knowing that he enjoys that interaction to help settle him in for the day. It's awesome that they are so proactive and such lovely people.

It's been amazing seeing the transition unfold from Tui Room to Kakapo Room. So much great stuff for our son and his little mates to take on being the little fishes again in the big pond. Thanks to the teachers for your support in our son’s development. We both have so much to be grateful for having him develop so well at Lollipops

Your induction into the centre and settling procedures have really helped, I feel I can totally trust that my baby will be cared for and happy after spending the past two weeks in the centre doing settling visits. I never thought they would be so happy. I feel that you understand

Knowledgeable friendly staff, fantastic location, convenient parking, great facilities, secure, clean, good values

I cannot fault Lollipops Petone. It's an amazing place to leave my son and I feel so lucky to leave him in such amazing and caring hands.

This is the second childcare place l've sent my 3 year old and it's the best by far.
Lollipops truly treats you like family. my daughter was very non verbal before attending Lollipops and now she won't stop talking!
My youngest son ended up in ICU in wellington at the start of the year and they wrapped their arms around us and gave us sooo much support! They checked in everyday with us to see how he was doing.
I truly love Lollipops so much! if I have more children they would be going to Lollipops. The teachers are wonderful. so nurturing, loving and kind.
Thank you Lollipops for the fantastic job you guys do.
