WanaExcel

Two of my boys have been lucky to attend WanaExcel and have loved it there! Kelly was helpful and prompt setting up tours/settling in visits and the transition was very smooth. The teaching staff are brilliant and have a range of talents and passions that they share with the kids. They plan a wide variety of activities outside the preschool too - like biking, dancing and swimming. The two centres prepare them well for starting school - helping with their confidence, independence and making friendships.The communication with parents from the teachers and owners is super - we love all the learning updates, photos and videos that we get regularly.Thanks WanaExcel team, our family are very grateful for everything you have done for us!

WanaExcel has exceeded our expectations with their service and care provided to our son who has been going there full time for a year now. He is part of the WanaExcel whanau, he loves the activities, routines, meals and fun he has there. We cannot thank WanaExcel enough for the help and guidance they give to us (as both full time working parents) and my son, who transitioned from a different city and from home based care. Thanks WanaExcel you rock!

Our son has been going to Wanaka Excel for 3 years, he loves to talk about the fun activities and experiences he's had and share the creations he's made. The facilities are fantastic and they exceed our expectations.

We are incredibly lucky to be part of the amazing Wana Excel family. It is such a well resourced centre with a warm, welcoming and professional teaching team. We love seeing our little one grow in confidence and develop such great friendships along the way. The catered meals are an amazing bonus too!

A very well run centre wth a caring, nurturing culture. The staff go out of their way to educate and support the children in their development. A lot of thought and creativity goes into the numerous activities and events that happen every week and the team are fantastic at communicating with parents. Both our children love it here. Well done Wanaexcel.

I love WanaExcel and am so grateful for the personalised care my daughter experiences there. The staff and owners are all extremely friendly, kind, and knowledgeable and genuinely care about my daughter and our family.It is clean and full of interesting toys, books and other educational materials. There are so many indoor and outdoor spaces for them to learn and play. Their snacks and lunch are cooked/baked fresh every day.The teachers communicate with us constantly about how our children are developing and provide stories and photos of their experiences.From the age of 3 they can take kids to swimming lessons, dance lessons and exercise activities in the park.Makes me want to be a kid! But mostly it just makes me happy to know my daughter is at a fantastic place that she loves to be at.

We love having our son at WanaExcel, the staff are so caring and friendly they are always doing new activities with the kids and teaching them good manors and how to play together. They are very accommodating and helped us with the transition into day care in such a stress free way that our son loved it from the start as a baby of 6 months.Would highly recommend.

We cannot say enough good things about WanaExcel. The whole team is full of incredible humans who truly care about the children they look after. We have felt so loved and supported over the last couple of years and feel like our child has had the chance to have the absolute best learning journey. We love the care they put into the curriculum and all the extracurricular activities the children are given the chance to experience. We also love the frequent updates sent to family about what the kids get up to at WanaExcel and all the thought put into teaching them good values and good manners, on top of everything they get to learn about the world, the environment and themselves. WanaExcel truly feels like an extension of our family and we are so glad to be part of the whānau.On a more practical note, it is very convenient to have a daycare with such flexible schedules and a team that's so accommodating of different family realities.

Every day I walk in to collect my little man from Daycare, I feel like I'm picking him up from family - who love and care for him as much as I do. As a first time mum, the girls at Wanaexcel have been such a wonderful support to myself and my family in navigating my sons ever changing wants and needs as he grows and develops. The patience and understanding that my many questions have been met with, does not go unnoticed, and its so lovely knowing that when he is not with me, he is surrounded by people who lovingly create such a great space for him to thrive in. Thanks Team.

We have really been impressed with Wanaexcel. My daughter loved it from the get-go. The purpose built facility, really cool resources, yummy meals are fantastic... but most importantly the teachers are just amazing! They have also been very flexible when we needed to switch days or add more time. I highly recommend Wanaexcel.
