What our parents are saying

" We are very sad to be leaving you. Thank you so much for everything you have done for our family. Hopefully we will be back one day. Georgia-Lee and Kaea adore you all and I couldn’t have wished for a better extended family for them. You have helped raise them for the wonderful little people they are."
Katrina Amiria

"We recently returned from the US and Kids Kampus have been the perfect landing spot for our kids. They transitioned smoothly and all the people that work there have just been fabulous with our three kids. The space is amazing both inside and out. The activities they do with the kids are great and I'm impressed at the order they keep! Our boys talk fondly about their teachers at night and look forward to seeing them every morning. We're really sad to leave but have bought a house on the other side of the bridge. We want them to open up a Devonport branch!"
Vanessa Andrews

“We've had our baby son in Kids Kampus for a couple of months and we continue to be very impressed. The personalised, individual care he receives, the adherence to our routine, the feedback of observations and the communication has all been excellent. They spent time getting to know him and us before he started which we very much appreciated and has proved to be valuable to an easy transition from home. The carers are constantly attentive and the management are visible and totally involved. We have total confidence he is being astutely cared for and Kids Kampus are continuing the learning we are giving him at home. We are genuinely stoked with our experience and therefore wanted to recommend this place to other parents looking for a quality daycare.“

Hello,
I just wanted to send an email to say thanks again. Jason's last day was far more emotional than I could have anticipated. On a normal day Jason grabs my hand as if to say "Ok its time to go home now Mum" but on Tuesday I couldn't get him out the door, he had the biggest smile showing me all of the toys he was playing with. Jason gave all of his teachers a big hug and it was so clear how much they cared for him, and for that I am so appreciative. Jason has built a very special connection with every single one of his teachers, and they have all played a positive role in his young life, in different ways. So once again thank you for taking such good care of our little boy!
Kind regards
Ailsa and Brady

To all of the staff at Kids’ Kampus
We entrusted our most precious possession to your care. Our sincere thanks for all the love and teaching you have given Toby. We always felt secure in the knowledge he was in such a professional environment, learning the best of life’s values and building the foundations for his future education. We want to thank all the staff at Kids’ Kampus for their dedication, particularly the strength and vision of the Management team at the helm. We will miss all of you.

 Regards Judy, Ray and Toby

We have been amazed how much David has developed and the way the Kids’ Kampus team have supported his long period of settling in. It was a massive weight off my mind knowing how much everyone cares about this there. He is just so, so happy now - and now, I have the opposite problem of getting him to leave each day to come home! Thank you

Julia

It’s hard to know what to write or say….. After 8 years at KK, I guess we have to go! But we have simply loved our time with you all; from the day we first arrived.
So thank you for creating such an incredible place, where the teachers care and for all the learning, love and opportunities. We are so proud of our girls and that’s also credit to you and your wonderful team. You have been such a big part of our lives and will always be part of our memories.
Much love and thanks.

Kate, Richard, Cherie and Emily 

To Margie and the wonderful teachers at Kids’ Kampus

It’s hard to believe that the day is finally here – that the last of our children graduates and heads off to primary school. It has been 9 years since Grayson had his first day here in the Baby Centre. There are so many memories and you have all been an incredibly special part of our lives. Our 3 children have all enjoyed their time at KK and their time with you has helped turn them into the wonderful, sweet and caring children that we love. Their school teachers have all commented on how well they were prepared for school and what a pleasure they are to teach - and that all started with the things that they learnt at

Kids’ Kampus. We have enjoyed all the Christmas concerts. We have so many, many happy memories – too numerous to mention. We hope that despite the various challenges that ECE faces, that Kids’ Kampus will continue to be the very special place that it has been for us. So as we say our goodbyes, we want you to know that you will all have a very special place in our hearts. We feel privileged to have been able to have you be part of our family for so long. May the future be bright for you all.

 Love James, Margaret, Grayson, Debbie and Izzie.

Nobody best understands the anxiety of a first time parent returning to work and entrusting their little darling with others – only one who has also experienced it.
Congratulations to you and your teaching team on the excellent, warm, nurturing and stimulating environment you have created at Kids’ Kampus. The ultimate proof however lies in the adaptation of the child to the environment. While Hannah’s stay has sadly been cut short by our circumstances, she clearly was extremely happy and blossomed during her time with you. This has been very re-assuring and a relief not having to worry about her along with all our other stresses and responsibilities linked to emigration.
Thank you also Margie for your warmth and support extended to me during our association. I wish you every best for your future and I will certainly be recommending your centre to my girlfriends who are in ‘search for excellence’ for their children. I hope that we find a centre as good as yours in Perth.

Good Morning,
We appreciate all the wonderful teachers that both Jackson and Ruth had during our time at KK for the past 3 years.
Kind Regards

Misha

I cannot thank you enough for the tremendous care you have provided for Archie these past two years. Your listening ear, words of advice and creativity with the spaces where the children play have been a huge blessing. Such a hard decision in making the move to Christchurch when Archie is so settled here with you. You will all be missed.

OXOX Kristina and Tony

Thank you for the amazing care you have provided for Mackenzie.
When we drop her off we are never worried about how she is going. This is due to the staff’s friendly and professional approach. We are sad to have to leave your centre as Mackenzie enjoys her time with you.

Regards Carl, Sarah and Mackenzie

To all the wonderful teachers at KK
Thank you for making Preschool a place where Thomas loved to be, for the great care and for all that he has learnt. We always knew that Thomas was happy and well cared for

Many thanks, Pieta and James

I just wanted to say firstly thank you for such a wonderful start to day-care for the girls. I’m absolutely smitten with your day care, the teachers are absolutely lovely the kids are so lucky to have them, the resources - like the large size and different areas are amazing, but more than this, the place is always so clean and tidy (even considering it has children all day!) and it has a lovely air about it which makes it feel like it is a place loved and respected which is lovely to be in.

 Thanks very much. Charlotte

Thank you SO MUCH for all that you have done to help our wee family.
I cannot imagine a better way for my kids to start their ‘education’, the input they received is invaluable and I can’t thank you enough.

Thomas Family

To all the amazing teachers at Kids’ Kampus
Thank you. Thank you! for looking after my gorgeous Finn.  I am incredibly grateful for all that I believe Finn has gained from his time with you at KK.
You have helped to equip him with vital life tools – love, respect, responsibility, manners, confidence, self-esteem, enthusiasm to learn and friends.
I also particularly appreciate the awareness of values that you have helped instil in Finn.  It has meant a great deal to me, in a supportive way, to know that you have got to know, understand and enjoy Finn, probably as well as I do!  This has been particularly important to me as we don’t have extended family in Auckland.  You have been our extended family and given all three of us support and confidence.
I have treasured these pre-school years and we are now ready to set off on the next exciting stage.  So thank you!  Thank you so much.  You have an incredibly important job teaching and caring for young children – they are the most vulnerable and precious people in the world.  Best wishes to each of you.

With much love and appreciation, Susan, David and Finn

Dear Margie and Staff
Kids’ Kampus has been a mainstay in Tom and Toby’s lives for the past four years and you have seen us through and provided endless support during some of the most stressful times that life can offer. Margie, you have always given sound advice and a sympathetic ear at times when everything became overwhelming and ensured the boys were surrounded with love and support at times when I would have my ‘mother meltdown’!
Words cannot express the gratitude and affection that I feel for you all – you have given them both a solid base from which to grow, something I sincerely thank you for. All that’s left to say is, “Thank you for everything – we will miss you”
With love and best wishes,

Suzie and John

I'm writing today to inform you that we will be moving to California hence, Thomas will be leaving Kids Kampus. I have to say one of the most difficult parts of this move is leaving Kids Kampus as we know how much Thomas LOVES going to KK every day. He has grown so much under the TLC given to him by all his friends and teachers in both the Koru and Kauri Houses.
Thank you for all you have done for us over the last 1½ years. It has been an absolutely pleasure to be a part of the Kids Kampus family. Sincerely,

Melanie and Reuben

To our dear Kids’ Kampus Team
Today marks the end of an era for Sally and us – an era which we will always remember fondly.  Kids’ Kampus has been part of our extended family for over four years and we have always felt able to raise any questions or uncertainties we had about Sally with you.
For this we are very grateful – for you have always had Sally’s best interests at heart and have looked after her very well.  Thanks for your hard work and for teaching her values that have laid the foundation for the rest of her life.  She is well-mannered, considerate and the foundation is laid for her to move forward into school.
You have also provided her with wonderful opportunities to express herself artistically and musically – something that we believe will stand her in good stead.  It will seem strange not to come to your place every day and we will miss all of you.  We will be sure to pop in to see you from time to time.  Once again, that’s so much for everything and best wishes for the future.

Love Rebecca and Mark

Thank you so much for your team’s wonderful care of our children at Kids’ Kampus. In particular, the tender care that the Koru House staff have given to our Charlie. He was so little when he started and I am extremely grateful for the nurturing and gentle approach the Koru House staff have towards to the littlest ones in their care. James has loved his time in Preschool as well – so much to do with the activities and the wonderful outside play area. Thank you, Thank you.

Warm Regards, Robyn and Dave, James and Charlie

To the wonderful staff at KK
Thank you all so much for the wonderful care you have always given my darling little boy Tom. I know just how much he will miss you all (as will I!!) – I have never had to worry about his happiness whilst being at Kids’ Kampus - so thank you for giving him such a beautiful sense of security and warmth. We truly do appreciate all you have done.
Many Thanks, David and Ada

To the dear KK Staff
We want to thank you for your loving care of Miffy for the last 3½ years. You’ve provided her with fun, hugs, good guidelines, stimulation and a nurturing environment in which to flourish. Miffy has loved being at Kids’ Kampus and has formed some lovely friendships there. I know she will miss you all. With much appreciation and best wishes to you all.

From Jean and Steve.

To Margie and the KK Team in both the Babies and Preschool
John and I really appreciate all the time and effort you have put into Alex and Annie’s pre-school years. They have always enjoyed their time at KK and we’ve always known that they were safe and being looked after excellently. You have also taught them a lot of things that we haven’t managed to! Thanks so much for all that tender, loving care over the last 6 years. We will miss having KK as part of our lives.

Brenda, John, Alex and Annie

Dear Staff and Management
Well the day is finally here. It’s incredible to think that 4½ years have passed since Ema came to Kids’ Kampus. As she sets out on this new stage in her development, we know that the care and teaching that she has been given at Kids’ Kampus is priceless.
As parents, on so many occasions, we have sat together having our evening meal and been astounded at the level of knowledge Ema has acquired with you. For your contribution to Ema’s life, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With fondness, Peter and Elaine

We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful start in life our children have had at KK. Today is Dave’s last day and we definitely leave sadly, knowing that no other day care will match the quality of this amazing facility. You have truly blessed our family with the care, love and educational beginning our children have experienced. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We would also like to thank you for your support recently while I was in hospital. We were very touched by your kindness

From the Smith family

To Margie and her staff
Knew this day would come but I can’t believe that it is here! Thank you so much for the last 7 years, we count ourselves very lucky that we found Kids’ Kampus. I believe that it was fate that there happened to be a place for Mia 7 years ago when we arrived back in NZ. I so appreciate the support and advice you have given us as parents, especially as our own parents are so far away. We leave with lots of fond memories and truly wish you well in the future. I look forward to bumping into you around the traps.

Love Richard and Carol

Dear Margie and the KK team
Thank you so much for all of your support and love during this really difficult time for our family. You will never know how much easier it was knowing that Pippa was so well cared for while we were distracted as parents. Kids’ Kampus has been a bolt hole for us, a consistent and stable environment for our children during a turbulent time. Thank you, thank you.

With gratitude Jessica and Graham

Thank you so much for providing the most fantastic place for Emily to come to learn, play, grow, develop and make wonderful friends over the past 4 years! It’s so great and we just love the teachers and all they do and represent. They have been a fantastic influence on Emily and it makes us so proud of her. And what an amazing lead into school this past year has been. It was so worth harassing you to get a place back at KK after we left for our time overseas! Thank you so much.

Love Suzanne, Jason, Emily and Lara

Dear Margie and the team
I thank my stars every day that Margie had a biggest soft spot for a desperate mother seeking a loving day care for two little girls. Your team have been so fantastic over the past 3 years to both my angels and I can’t thank you all enough for your hard work, love and care.

With much love Ada and Pete

With Sammie just turned 2, I realise that I have never expressed my gratitude to Kids’ Kampus for the wonderful care you have provided to Sammie over the last year and a half in Koru House. It won’t be long before Sammie is leaving the under 2’s and heading over to Kauri House! Sammie spends around half her life at Kids’ Kampus so you have all played a huge role in helping her develop into the bright and happy toddler that she is today. The staff are like an extended family for Sammie. It means so much to me to know that she is being well cared for, stimulated and is happy whilst I am at work. It has always been so easy to leave her with you – we have never had tears (except perhaps mine on the first day!) and that is thanks to the staff being so friendly, welcoming and professional. I am always amazed at how quickly Sammie develops and what she picks up from you. You are all doing an amazing job and words can’t express how grateful Rod and I are to you for taking such good care of the most precious thing in our lives.

Thanks you very much.

Janice and Rod

Dear Margie and her awesome team
Thank you so much for caring for our children over the years. You have always shown such genuine love towards them and we are so thankful to you all. You have a wonderful team of people there at KK and I am sure that it is because of your energy, commitment and time with both Ava and Jordan that they have developed into the children they are. Many thanks to you all! We will miss Kids’ Kampus but promise we will visit.
Lots of love,

Julian, Vicky, Ava and Jordan
