Folkestone St Infant & Child Care, Mairangi Bay

"Being a first time mum, sending my son to daycare was pretty daunting but Vicki and the team at Folkestone have been amazing. They’ve reassured me every step of the way and I know that my little boy gets all the love and care he needs while they go at his pace. I particularly love they way they try and emulate our home rhythm and haven’t tried to enforce any strict schedule. He loves it - I can see his face light up when we arrive. I would and I do recommend Folkestone Street to anyone who asks."

"Folkestone Street Infant and Childcare is an amazing setting, Im so glad I was able to get my son a place there. The staff are all lovely and genuinely care about your child. I love how they do lots of outdoor activities but it still has a real homely feel. The enrolment and transition was very easy, the staff really invested time to build a relationship making sure my son felt safe and happy being there and I felt confident leaving him. They really understand the importance attachment and children’s emotional well-being. The staff are always really supportive and understanding of any requests or questions I may have. I can’t fault the place and feel lucky to be able to send my son there, it really is his second home! Thank you for everything."

"I can't say enough good things about Folkestone and the team there. Our little one started in February at 6 months and I was pretty nervous leaving her. I was able to spend as much time as we both needed settling her which made such a big difference as she has been happy there from day one, and most of the time is an easier baby at daycare than she is at home! It's obvious that they really love what they do and I know she is so well looked after and loved. Huge thanks to the whole team for taking such good care of Allison, and for making everything so easy and stress free :)"

"We feel so lucky to have found Folkestone. Our one year old has recently started and we have been blown away by the time and care that Miranda, Vicky and the team offered to integrate us into daycare life. It's a big step handing over your little one, but after spending time at the centre and getting to know the wonderful Kaiako, we know our little girl is in the best hands. The food is nutritious, individual sleep schedules are followed and family are always welcome - Just what our family needed. THANK YOU!!"
