Start Your Tamariki’s Early Childcare Journey at Your Place Childcare Silverdale
Priyanka Roy22 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with this childcare. My eldest son started when he was 6months , and now he is 4.5yrs. These last 4 years I have had the joy and privilege to see what an amazing person he's becoming and I do give a lot of credit to the teachers and caregivers here. So it was a super easy decision to enrol my second son here as well. He too started at 6 months. The teachers here are so wonderful, caring and the boys feel so safe and loved here. I also love the fact that they have an inhouse chef that prepares these lovely meals for the kids. I would highly recommend Your Place childcare. Fiona Schuler21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We joined the Your Place family in 2021 when I returned to work. We visited lots of local centre's and selected Your Place it just felt like the right place for us for a variety of reasons. It was daunting and a bit scary the thought of handing our daughter over to someone else for the day, would she be ok?loved? safe? When I first visited the warm and friendly teachers in the Kiwi and Pukeko rooms were the first people we met and made us feel at ease and knowing our daughter was safe and would be loved and cared for. Then we had the 1 month settling in period (which ended up being more for me than her). I felt safe dropping her off each day. The rooms are well thought out for each age and stage of development, our first visit explained why each room was set up a certain way and over the years we have seen the things Mel talked about in the first visit actually happen. Watching tamariki engage with all the real life resources-using real glasses and china plates. Exploring the gardens and playing on real grass, and splashing in the rain and puddles is encouraged - Clothes can be changed for dry ones but these experiences last a lifetime. Our daughter has learnt social skills, life skills, a love for arts and crafts, maths and science and she is confident and happy excited for school later in the year. Debbie Buselich21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Your Place is our sons home away from home, and I have enormous comfort knowing he is taken care of so well. Another comfort is knowing staff turn over is low. All staff in the infant rooms we met nearly 2 years ago when my son started are still present today. And I believe most of the infant staff started working in the room years before my son started. As a new parent this is a positive sign and stands out that staff are well retained. The joy I have knowing my son is enjoying his time at Your Place, having fun while learning and exploring, and is taken care of, is hugh. I always recommend Your Place to local families. Keir Menzies9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great place for your little one to experience formative interactions. Nature based or virtues based learning with long settling in periods. Attentive and caring child practitioners and wonderful facilities. Highly reccommended to any parents in and around the Millwater area. Natalie Ayson9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son has been attending Your Place since he was 10 months old and he loves it. The settling in process for him and us as parents was fantastic, so much so that there was no tears and now he’s been there a year it’s a quick good bye as he runs off to play. He loves his carers and they all do an amazing job. As do the support team behind the scenes. If you have any special requests for your little one, they are very good at taking care of it or offering a good alternative. They put on a wonderful Christmas party for all the kids & families in December and so many activities throughout the year. I highly recommend Your Place as a very welcoming and nurturing centre. Michael & Nina in NZ9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started our 10 months old at Your Place a couple of months ago and have been genuinely satisfied with the outcome so far. It is a real hidden gem of a ECE facility - teachers are nice and caring, great indoor & outdoor facilities, great ratio, nature based learning that's filled with fun activities. Best of all the settling period is the longest I've heard and really helped our little one to seamlessly settled in. Only two months officially in and he has already bonded with his caretakers and comes home really happy every day. Def would recommend! Hanie Ok26 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been already three months that my daughter joined to your place childcare. after visiting many childcares in Silverdale I finally chose here. I'm totally happy with its welcoming environment. tidy and clean. the teachers are nice, caring and professional. For me the best point is that teachers always keep me informed about my daughter's activities and progress. Anna B22 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great space for little ones, driven by strong principles, inclusive, and supportive. All families are made to feel welcome, safe, and valued. There are amazing resources both inside and outside the classroom where expectations of care among staff are high and children are constantly challenged and encouraged. There are daily nutritional and delicious meals provided and communication with parents is excellent. There are also a number of events throughout the year that involve the children, staff, families, and community. We have had a great experience in the four years we have been involved with Your Place! Nici Whitfield3 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Your Place Childcare is a home away from home, filled with friendly and caring teachers, who are super supportive. Lovely outdoor area for exploring and many indoor activities to help ignite their imaginations. Best decision I made was to enroll my son at Your Place. Chetna Patel30 May 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter was at Your Place for over 3 years until she started school this year. We have so many wonderful memories of Your Place and are so grateful for the loving , nurturing , calm and empowering start to life outside of home our daughter had. The owner - Mel’s vision and care , is seen in all aspects throughout the centre and her and every single staff member from teacher to cook to admin showed love, respect and nurture and most of all really connected with the children. I particularly valued the longer settling in period of a month as this made me comfortable when my daughter was very little and not used to not being at home or away from me and I also loved how the meals were so nutritious and we were catered well for as vegetarian , even at the social events of a veg sausage sizzle, just an example of the thoughtfulness and inclusiveness in this centre. For anyone thinking about Your Place for your child I’d wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you again for a wonderful “preschool and first school” for our baby girl. We will always remember you fondly.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
