Apples Childcare & Learning Centre

"Five Stars isn't enough. We were lucky enough to be part of the Apples Whanau for four years. This beautiful beautiful team have taken such wonderful care of our taonga since he was just on three months old. Four years later we are heartbroken having to leave due to relocating to Taupo. We so wish we could take you all with us. Honestly leaving Apples was the hardest part of leaving Auckland! Rachel and the team are absolute superstars. The learning journey they take the children on is second to none. The mix of cultures, teaching styles and the environment the children are in, sets up a solid learning foundation that every child thrives in. We loved the theme weeks they set up when its Maori, Samoan, Chinese language week or the like and how inclusive it all is. And how our bubba came home singing all sorts of songs in different languages! It was so so awesome! We have a journal of our taongas adventures at Apples, something we can treasure forever. We, as a whanau, have been included in every single step of his journey, from the Facebook page, to whanau evenings, to the daily interactions and advice to help us navigate his journey. We cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful centre, the centre of the universe for our bubba. We love you Rachel and the Apples whanau, you guys are simply the best (and my jingos we miss you sooooooooo much!!) If you are looking for a placement for your taonga, don't go past Apples in Onehunga! And feel free to ask Rachel for my number! I will happily fill you in on how wonderful they are! (You will need an hour or two, cos theres soooo much to tell you) Thank you so much team... love you guys sooo much - the Angell / West Whanau xxxxxxx"

"As a parent searching for a safe and nurturing environment for my child, I couldn't be more thrilled with the Apple childcare center we found. This facility has exceeded all my expectations and has become an integral part of our child's early development journey. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the warm and inviting atmosphere of the center immediately put us at ease. The staff members are not only highly qualified professionals but also genuinely caring individuals who prioritize the well-being of each child. Their dedication to creating a supportive and stimulating environment is evident in everything they do. Through a blend of structured activities, play-based learning, and interactive exercises, my child's cognitive, social, and emotional skills have flourished. I have witnessed remarkable progress in their language acquisition, problem-solving abilities, and self-expression. The center's facilities are outstanding, offering a wide range of age-appropriate toys, learning materials, and outdoor play areas. The emphasis on outdoor activities is particularly commendable, as it allows children to explore nature, develop gross motor skills, and appreciate the world around them. Communication between the staff and parents is excellent. Regular updates, progress reports, and parent-teacher meetings ensure that we are involved in our child's educational journey and can actively contribute to their growth. Apple childcare center has provided an exceptional experience for both our child and our family. The caring staff, well-rounded curriculum, engaging facilities, and strong focus on safety make it an ideal choice for any parent seeking a reliable and enriching environment for their kids. We highly recommend Apple Childcare center to anyone in search of high-quality childcare."

"My daughter enrolled Apple when she was 2. I have witnessed her development of essential and social skills through different activities. The teacher and caregiver are very loving and caring. Highly recommended."

"Dear Apples Team, As we approach the last day at your day-care, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for everything you have done for our family in the last 4 years. From the very first day we brought our daughter to your day-care, we knew that she was in good hands. Your staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and professional, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure that she feels safe, happy, and loved. The care and attention that you have provided have been instrumental in helping her grow into the confident, curious, and creative young girl that she is today. Your day-care has not only been a safe and nurturing environment for our daughter, but it has also been a second home for her. She has made many friends, learned so much, and had countless happy memories that she will treasure for a lifetime. We are grateful for the positive impact that your day-care has had on her development and well-being. As we prepare to say goodbye, we want you to know that you will be missed. We will always look back on our time at Apples with fondness and appreciation. Thank you again for everything you have done for our daughter and our family."

"Apples have been a wonderful place for our two children over the past few years. The teachers have a kind, warm, and caring approach, communicate well, share in the joy of seeing the children grow and develop, and have been professional throughout. Our kids have thrived, learned to share, learn and play with others, and as a family we now have lasting friendships with the Apples family. Highly recommended!"
