Testimonials

I want to say thank you to your team for such a wonderful experience for us. We always feel so comfortable with the teachers and have so much trust in your staff when leaving our child each day. She is always happy to be dropped off, she will even chat about her teachers when she comes home!

I wanted to make a special mention about a couple of the teachers specifically (although all are fantastic!). Sheenal, Donna and Susmitha have been such amazing support to us. They are always so informative of our child's day, kind, helpful and show amazing care with her. I always know I can not only get updates on her development, but I can also get general advice on managing more challenging aspects of parenthood. The communication and care we have received has been great!

Overall, you have an awesome team in the Tui and Fantail room. There will never be enough goodie bags, chocolates or words to thank them for being such a big part of our child’s life. I know that I have a lot to thank for their happiness, learning and sense of confidence. So from the bottom of our hearts… THANKS!!! 

I would like to Thank you and your wonderful staff at Lollipop Takanini for your utmost support and service. No words can express how grateful we and the community are for your care and dedication to not only the children but their parents and family. 

Please know that all your hard work ethics have exceeded our expectations. 

You have earned a special part in our child's journey, we could not have done it without you all.

Thank you so much for another amazing parent event today. I know firsthand how much effort goes into prepping these events and also the making of gifts - bath bombs, cookies, handmade frames, photos! Wow, you outdid yourselves and what a treat for us Mums. I will treasure these gifts. Your hard work and dedication never goes unnoticed, so thank you for all you did for us today. 

Thank you Manu and team for an amazing afternoon celebrating Christmas and all the amazing tamariki! 

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with the food, entertainment and seeing your friendly faces. 

As someone who works in education, I am aware of the amount of work, effort and time that goes into these events. So thank you for all the hard work , it meant a lot to us to celebrate with you all. 

From the Crane family. 

I just want to thank you all so much, to see my girls faces light up when they walked into their rooms today was absolutely amazing. My heart is so full.
My eldest daughter was greeted by hugs and cuddles from all her friends, teachers welcoming her and a young boy helped her put her bag away. It was just so beautiful to watch. She's found her happy place at lollipops. I'm so grateful to have such an amazing centre so close to home.

I thought that was a beautiful drop off, I then took my baby to her room. I stopped to talk to a teacher as I put her bag away, before I could cuddle and kiss her goodbye she was off outside to play with her friends. It just fills my heart knowing how much fun the girls are having, interacting with children of their own age and making friends within their community.

Some say sending your kids to daycare is sad, but after watching my two settle in, I now see how much they needed daycare and I couldn't be happier.

 Lollipops is a great place for my son, I still remember the day ,when I was so worried about his speech development and his attitude towards kindy but lollipops teachers are so kind, hardworking and compassionate that my son improved  and enhanced motor skills in such a way that he is able to recognise and speak random words.

He is fully able to speak tough to tough words in correct sentences, he is very good is explaining his feelings and desires , moreover In understanding others feelings as well.

I know this was not an easy journey for teachers to understand such a tough kid who was unable to express himself but I can't thanks enough for such a knowledgeable and expert teachers for their help and support they provided with patience.

I am glad that my son has joined kakapo room and I can't believe since he joined new friends he is very active , knows everyone's names and learning more things with new teachers.

I am so satisfied with the management of Manu Thakur and appreciate the way she handles stress of parents like us and remains ready to help us with every possible way.

My son is in right hands , I hope his journey with kakapo will be exciting with new path of learning .

Thank you so much Dear teachers and the whole team for such an amazing care.

Morena Lollipops Takanini,

This morning I was in a little later than normal with my two girls.

The team! everyone is so friendly, helpful and really made you feel at ease leaving your little one in their hands. 

Our son (now 3.5) started with team at Lollipops Takanini when he was 7 months old.  After looking at local daycares for months leading up to this, we were beginning to think I wasn’t going to be able to return to work as we simply weren’t happy with what we had seen that other centres had to offer, this was until we were luckily enough to come across Lollipops Takanini.

From the minute we set foot in the centre we felt great ease with the quality of the staff  as well as the centres resources and their philosophy.

Nothing has ever been too much trouble for Emma and her team, we have always been well informed of anything going on around the centre, as well as our sons development.  He has learnt so much from his time here, and every day comes home with new stories and learnings from the day. He has made great friendships, including all of the staff, whom he just adores.

We will forever be grateful to Lollipops for allowing us to leave our son somewhere he thrives and loves attending, and somewhere we are fully confident with the quality of care he is receiving from the staff, who feel like an extension of our family.

I’m so pleased with all the great things that the day-care has achieved this year. Kakapo room, the team is amazing, we love all the teachers and we can see how well they work as a team. You have an amazing chef, Kasey, we love her.

I just want to congratulate you Emma and your team for your hard work, passion and dedication. You and your team have achieved great goals, and I’m sure lots of parents have noticed them.

You all play a very important part in our children lives and I cannot Thank You enough for your hard work and dedication.

Thanks so much
