Testimonials
We would just like to thank the staff at Clevedon Kidz for giving Hamish the best start to school we could wish for.
From when he started in Fantails, in Tuis and finally Pukekos the love, care and learning has been outstanding. We did not realise how much until he started at Primary school the benefits he has received from attending Clevedon Kidz.
Their manners, ability to mix with others, listen, mat time etc. was outstanding. And much to the delight of his proud mother today after only his second week at school he can already read his robot (first words) so was sent to the headmaster’s office for a stamp and congratulations (not the reason his mother used to get sent to the headmaster’s office).
Once again thank you to Clevedon Kidz, that love, care, playing outside rain or shine, telling’s off (yes I know he did have some because he would come home and fess up) have set him up to deal with the next stage of his life and hopefully for the rest of it. I would also like to specially thank you for all the extra care when he was bouncing on his steroids and care with his asthma.
We miss you all and will be back in the next holidays for a visit.

Alex started his journey with Clevedon Kidz at The Nest and continued with transitions through the Fantail, Tui and Pukeko room where he is now placed. Right from the start of this journey we, as parents, have had the utmost trust in all the teachers Alex has been in contact with due to the genuine care shown by each teacher to Alex and all the kids. We are also amazed at the number of activities that are on offer throughout the year with a big focus on family inclusion. Alex’s development has been the main highlight for us with regular and unexpected positive changes in his behaviour, actions and language.
It really has been a great journey for us and him and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers Alex has had the privilege to be in contact with for all their input into his development over the years. It really does takes a village to raise a child and I think we are lucky to have landed in the right one for Alex. We will miss you all!

Our family arrived from Australia over two and a half years ago and I started the daunting challenge of finding a suitable day-care centre for my then 2 and 3 year old daughters. I cold called a few centres to see what they had to offer. However no centre came close to what was on offer at Clevedon Kidz. The girls loved it from the first time they went in the door. In fact when it was time to leave I had trouble dragging them away.
Over the past two and a half years the girls have grown and developed into beautiful young ladies learning great values and life skills. We have made many friends with the staff and families from the centre and have enjoyed having Clevedon Kidz as a big part of our lives.

Jade thoroughly enjoys herself at day-care. It seems to be a second home and family for her.
Jade is a delightful child even if I say so myself, however I think a lot of her funny, strong willed personality is a reflection of her carers especially Judy and Tina in the Nursery and also to name a few others from the other rooms that Jade loves to hang out with sometimes, Vica, Louise and Simone, and also Carole at Reception who makes us feel welcome with her smile every morning.
I have 2 other children that have also attended a different day-care when they were younger. However their learning and development has not been as advanced or visual as what I have seen from Jade.
I like the fact that I know I can drop Jade off and know that she will be cared for by the staff at Clevedon Kidz like one of their own children. It is very comforting knowing this, especially being a solo mother; (knowing your child is being loved and cared for when you are not around in the way you would care for your child) – Puts your mind at ease.
I have no hesitation in referring friends, family, colleagues and also clients that I deal with to Clevedon Kidz as I know it is a warm, friendly, caring and education focussed place that children can grow and develop at a very fast rate with the education and facilities available to the children.
