Piccolo Park Early Learning Centre

I tried to get hold of them many times via phone and email about enrolment. Staff who answered phone were nice but after leaving details 3 times twice via email I gave up. It Didn't really inspire confidence if they can't be bothered to make contact

Probably the worst childcare I visited out of the 120 I visited in the last few months. The lady who took us for the tour did not make us feel comfortable in fact when asking questions about their facility, she would giggle and answer them in a way that seemed slightly annoyed even though we called to make this time to come in. One answer she gave us about ‘visiting the facility to check on our child’ left us really upset as she proceeded to explain ‘if you make the child upset, you will not be allowed’ and that we had to ‘trust’ them as it is not ‘respectful’ to do otherwise. She then continued to say ‘this is not a place for you’ multiple times and once I discussed this ‘trust’ she mentioned, it was completely gaslighted by saying ‘that is not what I meant’. I felt like balling my eyes out as I had never been to a centre that made you feel as though, you were not welcome to see your child when it was stated on their and if there was an issue, we would be ridiculed for even taking a caring approach. I am very involved with my children and the idea of feeling like this centre would not allow us to build that relationship has left me shocked. I am beyond sad but I must say the beautiful teachers that graced me and my children, thank you. We noticed your warmth.

Zoe and team is awesome.

Absolutely fabulous centre for my two boys. Large and safe indoor and outdoor areas for kids to play. Friendly owner with numbers passionate teachers who come from different cultural backgrounds...gives my kids massive support through their learning journey...highly recommend 5 stars.

From the moment we walked in the door 3 years ago we felt warming welcomed to the centre. Our initial meetings with the team were something I will never forget. When they remember my daughters name when we went for an impromptu visit after our first meeting I knew we had found somewhere special. The teachers and staff at Piccolo have shown nothing but love and care for my daughter in the three years she has been enrolled and now to our latest addition who started in the babies room just last month. Transitioning back to work after having a baby isn’t easy but it was certainly made much easier with the support and care that piccolo have provided us. I cannot speak highly enough for the wonderful people that make Piccolo the place it is today. My daughters both love their teachers and the wonderful bonds they have with them and that is so special to me. The wonderful staff care very deeply about the children and their whanau and I am proud to be a Piccolo parent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always keeping my girls safe, loved and nourished.

Translated by Google Very patient teacher team, the baby was sent when he was one and a half years old Now he is three and a half years old, I am very glad that the teacher can communicate with the parents in time about the child's situation, and will also care about the child's state at home.
