Magic Sparks Petone

"Magic Sparks is one of the best daycare centre's in Lower Hutt. My daughter finished at magic sparks and she absolutely loves this place. Staff and teachers are friendly and so caring to all the kids. Their activities and learning methods are really good to boost self confidence in kids. The vision of the owners is brilliant. You know your kids are in right place when they cry to miss a day...."

"Magic sparks childcare is fantastic! We love how there are different areas for the different ages but also how they mingle together, so development of the younger ones is fast as they see the older kids and want to do what they do. Magic Sparks has a great programme for the 4yr olds, they have their own room so they can start to prepare for school and the typical school structure. Being an old fire station it’s great in winter as the kids can play/garden in the engine bay and still feel like they are outdoors. The teachers are outstanding, they really care about the kids and are always available to talk about the kids progress. My 2 boys have developed so much being at Magic Sparks and that is due to the support and learning they have received from the teachers. I never get the feeling that it’s just a business, they treat you like friends/family which is fantastic as it really makes the parents feel at ease. I cannot rate Magic Sparks high enough!"

"My son has attended Magic Sparks for the past 2.5 years. When we looked for a day care we searched the Hutt Valley for one that we thought would fit our family. When we appraoched Magic Sparks we recieved such a warm welcome. We were given a tour and felt that all the staff were available to chat and answer any of our questions. We knew straight away that this would be a perfect fir for our precious boy. The layout of the day care is superb with all ages and stages of children being catered for in their individual spaces. This was really inportant to us because when our son started he was only small and it was so nice for him to be in a space that was catered totally for him and his stage of development. He then moved up to the next space, when he was ready and so on. The staff at Magic Sparks are such wonderful caring people. All the staff are obviously passionate about their role as caregivers for chidlren. They seem to have a great relationship with each other which makes for a positive learning environment. I feel at ease speaking with any staff member at any time about anything. If they are unable to speak to me at the time due to caring for the chidlren they will make arrangements for a more suitable time so as they can give their full attention. The programmes and curriculam at Magic Sparks are fantastic and cater to all the childrens needs and stages of development. They are constantly looking at new ways to improve on the centre and the staff all seem to be on board with this. I love the Magic Sparks Philosophy and I know that when my chidlren are ready to begin school they are going to have all the necessary skills required thanks to the fantastic teaching methods provided by Magic Sparks. We are soon to be adding a new addition to our family and I'm so happy that we have a safe caring environment for her to enter into at Magic Sparks where I know that she will be loved and cared for while i'm not able to be there for her."
