I have nothing but good to say about everyone at Little Beans, my daughter comes home happy & excited to tell us what she’s done that day. We are blessed to be apart of the little beans whanau 🤍

  "We absolutely love Little Beans! Our son has been attending since he was 7 months old, and he’s now 2. Little Beans feels like a home away from home, with such a nice, homely feel. It’s a small preschool, which we love, with a beautiful space and a large outdoor area where the kids can run and play. The educators are amazing — so kind and caring. Little Beans focuses on freedom of movement, which has been perfect for our son, and he has truly thrived."

Little Beans is a nurturing space where my daughter has been respected and cared for by an amazing team of teachers. The teachers have helped her with her problem solving and communication skills and with this she has grown so much in confidence. It has been amazing seeing her flourish and it makes me so happy that she has these important skills for when she starts school.

As a first-time parent, sending my child to preschool was an emotional decision for me. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was nervous about how my little one would adjust. But from the moment we walked through the doors of little beans, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. The staff welcomed us with open arms, and it quickly became clear that this wasn’t just a school—it was a community built on love, care, and understanding.

The teachers have been an incredible source of support. They have a gift for connecting with children, and it’s evident in the way my child’s face lights up each morning when we arrive. I’ve watched my child grow in ways I never imagined—becoming more confident, curious, about life. It’s been such a joy to see them develop socially and emotionally in an environment where they feel safe, valued, and encouraged.

What truly touches my heart is how much the teachers genuinely care about my child’s well-being. They go above and beyond, not just as educators, but as mentors and friends. The communication from the school has been wonderful, and I always feel in the loop with how my child is doing. I’m so thankful for the way little beans has supported us through this transition and helped my child thrive.

I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my child’s educational journey. I’m beyond grateful for the love and care little beans has given my child, and I will forever hold this experience close to my heart.

We have been so lucky to have our son attend Little Beans. The teachers are so kind, supportive and accommodating to any additional needs. The environment is inviting and engaging plus the outside space is so great, it’s sets little beans apart from other centres. The teachers make a lot of effort to provide a range of opportunities for the kids to play and learn in the centre as well as occasional trips out in the community. Our son has really thrived at Little Beans and he feels very comfortable and safe there with his beloved teachers and friends. We are very sad to say goodbye when he starts school but grateful that his teachers have set him up well for the adjustment.

Our son has thrived at Little Beans. He started in the nursery and has transitioned well into the Pre School. During the two years he's been enrolled, I've found that all the wonderful teachers seem to be in touch with how our wee boy is doing and are supportive and caring. It's a real community feel and we're so happy to be a part of it!

Really happy with our experience at Little Beans Preschool from the moment we enrolled, it was clear that the staff are deeply committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for young children. The pre school itself feels like a home and due to the small number it has a nice community feel where teachers, parents, children all know each other really well. The children experience lots of different child-led activities including arts&crafts, music, games, indoor/outdoor play and excursions. Thank you so much Little Beans my two children have loved it here and has set them up with so well for life and school!
