Testimonials

We brought our son to Chuckles earlier this year and from the very first day we have received nothing but care and kindness from all the staff, making us feel very welcome. We know that he is given all the one on one attention he needs but also the freedom to explore and interact.We cannot wait to continue our journey at Chuckles

Chuckles is a home away from home for our children. Both of our children joined the Chuckles whanau when they were babies and they have developed special relationships with their teachers in a safe and nurturing environment.  

The teachers at Chuckles are always celebrating my children’s interests and they provide plenty of opportunities for them to explore and make discoveries in their learning environments. They enjoy the mat time with lots of singing and story books. At chuckles my children have learned and celebrated many cultures as well as being immersed in their Māori culture through language, waiata and dance. They are encouraged to develop friendships and I love that our children are not separated with the children mingling across age groups and learning from one another. 

The communication from staff is excellent with a daily notice board, educa stories, monthly letters and a frequently updated Whanau Facebook group. Chuckles is a beautiful small centre that has the lovely home feel.
