Lollipops Educare Blighs Road
Dear Juliette and the team from the Kiwi Room
I wish to express my appreciation for the care being given to my son Finn Taylor. I have been so impressed with the service with which you provide.
I chose Lollipops after visiting many other alternatives and upon the high recommendation of Michelle I found your facilities to be the most inviting, clean and fun! The staff has also really impressed me, they also are very caring and lots of fun!
Finn, despite being a bit sad when I leave, absolutely raves about his time at Lollipops. I am really thankful to all the staff in the Kiwi room. Who have been really supportive when Finn is upset at drop off time. It is nice to leave him and watch as someone shows enough care to give him some cuddles! This has made the transition a lot easier for myself and Finn.
Thanks heaps for all the hard work!
Kind regards

With Appreciation
Dearest Lollipops, all the wonderful teachers, kids and George
We are all feeling a little overwhelmed that today is our last day seeing you all. We have so enjoyed being part of your little community over the last (almost) 5 years!
Thank you for all the love and effort with our two kids. Felix was just a small baby – hard to believe. We have watched the centre grow into such a wonderful place over the years, such a sense of warmth, caring and creativity. All the kids are very lucky to have been in such a great environment.
We hope that the great teachers, Siligia, Cenena, Annie, Sherylynn, Adele, Iki and all the other wonderful team continue to make such a caring place.
Thank you so much.
All our love and a little sadness, Creasys – Felix, Laila, Steph, Andy
Lollipops Parnell, Auckland
I would like to thank wonderful teachers, Mairead, Sarah and Rebecca at Lollipops, Parnell.
My daughter Grace attended Lollipops, Parnell for about 21 months. Now she turned 5 years
old and finished her daycare last week.
As an ethnic Korean with no English, it was not easy for Grace to get accustomed in the new English speaking environment. However, thanks to the amazing teachers, Grace just thoroughly enjoyed her time there. Mairead and Sarah have understanding for different cultures and values, and they displayed the respect at all times.
Every morning Grace was greeted by happy teachers wearing big bright smile. I saw their enthusiasm and love for the children. It is simply uplifting and contagious and made my child grew every day in love.
I also would like to thank Rebecca who is a teacher in under 2’s room. She was always helpful and caring. She did not mind providing any extra help to Korean parents whose English is limited.
I highly recommend Lollipops, Parnell to any mum and dad who look for a reliable daycare for their children. I guaranteed that your child will be well looked after.
Grace already misses all her wonderful teachers. Thank you for providing wonderful childhood memories to Grace.
Thank you again, Mairead, Sarah, and Rebecca and Peter (who is in Italy now)!

Lollipops Britomart, Auckland
Andrea, I just wanted to write a quick note to you in relation to the staff in the Under 2's room. Louise, Lucia, Cialo and Ellen have been absolutely incredible. It is so comforting to know that there are people watching over Taylor who, I feel, truly care about the children they look after. As Taylor is at day care for a large amount of time, it was important for me to find the right team to, essentially, have a hand in 'raising' her and in my experience with the ladies in the Under 2's room, not only on a professional level, they have been amazing and I can't praise them enough. Those girls have a very difficult job and yet seem to do it so well. Taylor is thriving at the centre and I have them to thank for doing such a good job caring for her. I would also like to thank you as a Manager for running such a great centre.
Kind regards,

We have been so impressed by the amazing teachers and staff at Lollipops. I recommend this daycare to every mum I know as I was just so happy with how well looked after, nurtured and cared for Oli was during his time. We will miss his teachers so much, and his friends too! You run a fantastic centre, you make all new to daycare mums feel really comfortable with leaving their kids with you for the day!
Thank you again

Lollipops Broadway, Palmerston North
My son started at Broadway Lollipops Educare when it first opened. I have been extremely impressed with the level of care he has received and the excellent resources the centre has. When we arrive each morning we are greeted with smiles – it is a happy place to be and seems like a big family. I enjoy taking my son in each morning and chatting with the teachers and staff. I feel confident that my son is loved and the staff always seems so enthusiastic and full of energy.
Thanks!

Lollipops Lynnmall, Auckland
Our 4 ½ year old son Max has been going to Lollipops Lynnmall since he was 6 months old, and our youngest child Casey, who is now 14 months old, has been there since he was 7 weeks old. We were really comfortable leaving little Casey in their care at such a young age, as the team at Lollipops had done a wonderful job looking after Max, and had become almost like extended family to us. The ladies at Lollipops very obviously care deeply about each and every one of the children in their care, and make a special effort to make sure each child feels safe and loved. Every day my children get to play and learn in a wonderful environment with fully qualified early-childhood teachers, they are fed a healthy, balanced diet, and are cuddled and cared for by people who genuinely love them - I couldn't’t ask for anything more.

Lollipops Lynnmall
My daughter Della has been going to Lollipops Lynnmall since she was 3months old as I had to return to work part time, I was originally referred there by a good friend and had visited with her to pick up her son so I immediately felt it was the best place for my little girl.
Della has been at Lollipops now for 15months and I do not have a negative word I could say about the place or the staff, it is like a second home and family for Della and as a single mum it is great to know she is well looked after and I can feel 100% confident knowing she is in a safe, fun and friendly environment and is learning every day.
I highly recommend Lollipops to anyone looking for somewhere not just to for their child to go but to grow...

The amount of care, love and support that is provided to both our son and our family.
Rachel Maxwell
Lollipops Blighs Road, Christchurch
My daughter who is 14 months old, has only just started at Blighs Road Lollipops Educare and so far, the experience has been incredibly positive. Although she is at the height of her 'clinging to Mum' phase, she has already forged a bond with her primary caregiver, Deb. She now interacts happily with these new people in her life and enjoys the organised activities of painting, messy play and music time. Her face lights up every time we arrive at Lollipops (that's not to say she doesn't still cry when Mummy leaves for a couple of minutes) and has embraced new developmental steps that she had previously been unwilling to try (standing, using a sippy cup).
I can't say enough about the carers in the Under Two's room. They are easy to communicate with regarding changes in routine, expectations and development. They are genuinely caring, nurturing people who obviously enjoy their work and the children they care for. I feel at ease knowing that my daughter is being taken care of by them each day.
Overall, I love the mix of professionalism, courtesy and care that Blighs Rd Lollipops Educare has. I can't recommend their centre enough and look forward to a long and happy relationship with them in the future.

My grand-daughter attends Lollipops Educare Blighs Road full-time. She loves going to preschool and has developed wonderful relationships with her teachers and friends. I am amazed at what she is learning and love hearing her talk about what she has been doing there and seeing what she has created. It is a lovely environment for her and she will be well prepared for school next year.

Lollipops Patten Street
As a new parent returning to work, I was apprehensive about leaving my baby in full time childcare. I turns out I needn't have been. All the staff welcomed us with open arms. My daughter receives the same kindness, care and respect as if she were on the their own. I have tremendous peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of by knowledgeable, well trained teachers that truly want the best for her. The centres security, colourful inviting atmosphere, educational resources and nutritional meals, ensure I have made the right decision in choosing Lollipops Educare for the early childhood education of my daughter.
