What families say about our early childhood centre in Manukau, Auckland.
We are very happy that our daughter is now with Equippers Kids. We can clearly see big improvements in her language skills as well as her confidence. All the teachers are very friendly and awesome at their job. They engage my daughter in a wide range of fun activities every day and write detailed reports on the parents' portal regarding her development. Highly recommend!

We simply love Equippers, and we are so glad we enrolled our son there. We didn't have the feeling that it is a business like in so many other day cares. It is about the kids, and you can see & feel it everywhere. We know he is in very good hands and can go to work without having to worry if he is ok. A huge THANK You to each one of you for being such an amazing team!!

Equippers Kids is like a home away from home for my babies. Amazing and friendly staff with so much heart and caring mindset. I have 4 kids who all attend and I love seeing them so happy and excited about childcare every morning. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we're so very thankful to the team at Equippers Kids!

As a parent, leaving your baby in someone else's care for the first time is honestly one of the most emotional and nerve wracking experiences. But choosing Equippers Kids for my 1 year old has turned into something I now feel so confident and grateful about. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond to make our transition smooth and reassuring. They took the time to understand my daughter: her little habits, what comforts her, how she likes to be settled, even the small details that only a parent would normally know. The environment itself is amazing, warm and nurturing! You can see how much the educators love and value each child. About 2 months in, my daughter walks in happy, settles in with ease, and comes home content and that transformation says everything! I can wholeheartedly say that Equippers Kids doesn't just care for your child. They support your whole family through the process. I couldn't recommend them more.

Both of our children went to Equippers Kids and I can't recommend it highly enough!!! With our youngest we originally chose another daycare which was closer, but one session in we realised how different the care and environment was compared to Equippers Kids. We changed straight away and never looked back. He has the most caring teachers and settled in so well thanks to their care. The preschool provides meals which has been amazing. Their outside area is stunning and the centre is always very clean and well looked after. My two year old calls it “fun preschool”, which is just a testament to how he feels about it. Thank you Equippers Kids.

Highly recommend sending your children here! Lovely and helpful staff from the time I walked in to every day after I would drop my child off. It's always nerve racking sending your child to a new day care but the teachers and staff reassured me throughout the transition. Sure enough, by the third day attending she was running in without tears and I couldn't feel more grateful to the staff for making her transition smooth and easy going! She came home singing new songs and loved all her friends. I love that their classrooms are spacious as well as their play area, with so much for my child to explore!

My wife and I were looking for a trustworthy and caring daycare for our youngest, who was just 8 months old at the time, as my wife needed to return to work sooner than expected. We came across Equippers Kids and decided to give them a try. Naturally, we were nervous for his first full day but what can I say! The team was so welcoming and professional. They were so loving and took good care of our son which made drop-offs easy for us every day. Now, my son is nearly 2 years old and he still loves and enjoys going to daycare. Huge credit to the amazing staff and management for the incredible work they do. Malo lava team!

Thank you Equippers Kids Early Learning Centre, for taking such good care of my two babies!! The staff are so lovely, and my kids love them. I also love how they incorporate Christian values and practices into their routines, and I especially love seeing all the updates on the app. Each of my kids has been attending since they were at least 12 months old, and they have been well cared for. I would definitely recommend sending your babies here.

I absolutely love Equippers Kids! It can be nerve wracking finding a good daycare where you don't have to worry about your child throughout the day. I have now put two of my babies through the centre and can't recommend them enough — they make introduction, transition and adjustments easy! The teachers really take the time to know each child individually, which I love!
Esther Matthes
When we enrolled our daughter into Baby Legends and met the team for the very first time, we felt at peace and knew that our daughter was in the right place. Really appreciate the amazing work that the staff do at Equippers. My daughter is still there and is currently in Bright Sparks 2. She loves it and doesn't want to miss a day. She always talks about her learning experiences every day. I highly, highly recommend Equippers.

My child has had a wonderful experience at Equippers. The kaiako are caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and wellbeing. The environment is warm, welcoming, and encourages learning through play while building confidence and independence. Communication with families is excellent, and it's clear the team puts a lot of love and effort into creating a safe and nurturing space. I highly recommend Equippers to any family looking for quality early childhood education.
Enifer Chiwara
We are so grateful for this amazing Christian daycare! From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we felt welcomed like family. The teachers are loving, patient, and genuinely care about each child's growth, not only academically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. It brings us so much peace knowing our daughter is in a safe, nurturing environment where she is learning about God's love every day. She comes home happy, excited to share what she learned, and has grown so much in confidence since attending. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring Christian environment for their little ones!
