WHAT OUR FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY
“Absolutely love Buckle My Shoe Early Learning Centre. The teachers are so loving to the kids, it’s a home away from home.”
- Nickie Brunsden, Tauranga
“I could never ask for a better centre for my daughter! I am very happy with every single person working at Buckle My Shoe Early Learning Centre. They are always friendly and helpful. Since I decided to choose Buckle My Shoe for my daughter when I was abroad, their service was excellent. I am amazed with how involved they are with the kids development. They treat every child to feel important. They truly are amazing!”
- Wanda Visser, tauranga
Our 2 year old joined Buckle My Shoe in Oct 2019. Before he officially started he had many visits which was awesome. We really wanted to prepare our wee man, especially knowing his personality. He needed gradual exposure to help him feel comfortable in a new environment. He has since absolutely thrived & really enjoyed daycare which has been amazing! Being a smaller centre is an absolute bonus. The staff are so mindful of the children’s needs which is so important & helps as parents to know they are so well looked after. We couldn’t recommend more highly Buckle my Shoe, they have become like family - it’s so lovely! Plus working at the hospital, it’s literally a 2 minute drive making it so easy!
