Uplands Kindergarten

I have three children who have all been through Uplands Kindergarten and I can not recommend it highly enough. Children are lovingly nurtured in a fabulous environment by a team of great teachers, resources and support staff. Fathers, nannies, grandparents, siblings and blended families all become part of the wider family that Uplands is and children are really encouraged to grow in many skills from social, maths, reading, Maori, environmental, art, morals, music, culture, acceptance of others, cooking and physical activity. We still look at their portfolios with pride and joy, thanks to the Upland A1 team!! xxx

Had tons of recommendations about Uplands so decided to enrol my child there, and have been amazed by our experience . The teachers are warm and friendly, and really take the time to individually get to know your child.

It's my great honor to fulfill my field practice in such an amazing kindergarten! A group of friendly teachers and lovely children whom are all blessed by God.

A great Kindy full of passionate teachers.

Amazing place for the kids. Our child stayed in Uplands for her 2-5 years old and she has received the best care we would have ever imagined. The amount of care and kindness every experienced Uplands teacher gives to the children often exceed my expectation. Every child will grow and thrive in this lovely kindy.

Amazing kindy and teaching staff. My daughter loved her time at Uplands kindy. Lovely nurturing environment and the teachers are incredibly caring and supportive of the children and their families. 100% recommended for any families looking for a kindy the area. We feel very lucky to have been part of the Uplands community.

Both my boys went here , absolutely lovely staff with the most caring and fun teachers, could not recommend highly enough. I am pretty picky with where my kids go too. Virtually no staff turnover with the same teachers teaching both my boys who are 3 years apart in age so that is definitely saying something about the great positive atmosphere.

Great teachers and happy friendly children - there is always a positive vibe when I visit.

Recently we asked parents for a review on Kindello. Here is what they said:I would highly recommend Uplands Kindergarten. Sending your child to daycare/kindergarten is a huge decision, and I am so thankful that my daughter attends this kindergarten. The team of teachers there are amazing, so kind, supportive and nurturing, to all the children and families. The teachers make you feel so welcome, and are very good at helping settle in the children. The activities they provide are great, and they are very good at spontaneously creating an activity if they see a child has an interest in something. What makes this kindy stand out from others, is the that the teachers are great communicators, have so much experience , and work amazing as a team. My daughters personal growth , independence and confidence has come along so much, since she started attending here, and it is a huge relief to know that she is so happy, and in such capable hands with an outstanding team of teachers.Look no further than Uplands for a kind, nurturing, highly experienced early childhood centre for your kids. I absolutely cannot sing their praises high enough. We have been an Uplands family for over 7 years, having sent 3 children there. They pay attention to each individual child, greeting them at the door and knowing what makes each child ‘tick’. The children leave as confident, resilient, caring children. One really great example was one of my daughter who showed an interest in writing a story as a 3 year old. They had her draw the pictures, and dictate the story. Over a few weeks they worked on the project, when she wanted to. The teacher wrote down the words (as she was too young to write). Then they had the books published in hardcover, with all her words and pictures. She is now 9 years old and still so proud of the books she authored as a 3 year old. There were constant stories coming home of taking ideas the kids had, and turning them into games or projects (all with core learning expertly weaved throughout), whether it was flying a plane, setting up a shop or a vet clinic to building obstacle courses. They can provide the nurturing care that a very young starter needs, through to the expert school prep that a 4 year old is capable of, all delivered in a fun welcoming environment. Their 4 year old program, Friday cooking, and trips to Ambury Farm and local productions were highlights for my kids. They are absolute expert early childhood providers and while the centre might be small, their heart is huge.Uplands has been such an amazing kindy for our son! The teachers are so kind and engaging with the kids and have gone the extra mile with our son. Without a doubt the best decision we made was enrolling him at Uplands. He loves going to kindy and is always really excited to go! Highly recommend :)The best kindy in the area! You'll find the most nurturing environment for 2-5 year olds at Uplands. Our child has thrived under the care of her wonderful teachers, who have been there for many years and are absolutely amazing – they're kind, engaging, enthusiastic, and they genuinely care for the wellbeing of all the children there. They also organise several field trips a year (farm and theatre visits), and offer a brilliant school-ready programme for 4 year olds. It's a wonderful learning environment and we would highly recommend them to to anyone considering a quality childcare.

Thanks eveyone in the kindy (don't want to mention names in public review), yi and ning will always remember you and the 4.5 years we have been with you was just wonderful and memorable. This time will become the most important part of their life. Very lucky they had teachers like you and kindy like this, i can't ask for anything more, all the best and we are always around if any help you need from us.
