Halswell Nest Early Learning Centre

We moved from Auckland to Christchurch and our son was at Halswell Nest for 2 years. In that time it’s hard to articulate how amazing for him, and our family the centre was to us. The teachers are absolutely awesome, they encourage the children to explore, and do lots of outings with the kids, even if it’s down the road to the park, to the library or even to the supermarket for baking supplies. I really valued the smaller numbers, home-away-from-home vibe, the caring nature of the team, as well as their experience. I also liked that all ages were in together, which allowed our son to learn to interact with kids of all ages. They do have a separate space for younger children but encourage play across age groups. It was with reluctance we left to head away again, but we will never forget our time there and people we met. The owners and teachers really supported us through the pandemic, we felt cared for and supported. Thanks team! All the best :-
