KIND WORDS
Trust in our Community
We believe the best way to understand our kindergarten is through the genuine feedback of our local families. Their experiences reflect the trust, care, and sense of community we nurture every day.

Such a beautiful environment. Kindest teachers who are SO incredibly attentive to all the children. Such a variety in activities and learning opportunities for each age group. My son has THRIVED there and developed amazing friendships with the teachers and other kids.

Our family love Henderson Valley Private kindergarten. The team have become extended family. It's a treat to interact with the hand tamed animals. My son is excited to go each day and likes to talk about his friends and teachers.

An amazing environment for little ones to learn, play and interact with nature. The staff are lovely, attentive and so genuine. My son is in the Kea room and when I drop him off I have peace of mind that he is being loved and cared for just like he would be at home. Highly recommend Henderson Valley private kindergarten.

Our daughter has thrived here! She has always been on the shyer more reserved side, however the staff here have done an amazing job at helping her through her transition. She has really come out of her shell and built a lot of confidence. She loves going to kindy and has bonded really well with the staff. Amazing experience, definitely recommend 🥰

The kaiako at Henderson Valley are absolute masters of their craft. My daughter had some separation anxiety when starting, but in no time at all she has felt comfortable, safe, and at home here due to the kindness and care she has received from staff. They are so genuinely invested in the tamariki's wellbeing, I feel completely confident when dropping my kid off that she will be well looked after. We cannot recommend Henderson Valley enough, I rave about it to anyone who will listen! Thank you for looking after our girl 😊

We love sending our child to HVPK! The teachers are out of this world amazing and have each made such a big effort to build a special relationship with our child. He is always greeted at the door by one of them for a big cuddle and a chat. He’s never not wanted to go, he runs to the gate everyday with so much excitement and loves waving and saying morning to all the animals we walk past to get there. Wouldn’t send him anywhere else. Thanks Team!

We love this kindergarten so much. Our first born was finding it hard to settle in daycare, it took a while to find the right place for her, this was the third place she went and she thrived, she was so good and happy since the first day, she loves going here, and wants to go 7 days a week. Now our second born also joined and he is already happy, settled in so well so fast. We feel confident to send our little one here. Thank you for your hard work.

Best kindy ever. My two children - 2 and 4 absolutely love it there! No tears when they leave just smiles and hugs for their teachers. Experienced teaching team who love their jobs and are always extremely involved with the kids. So very grateful I have found them!

It’s hard to believe we’re still in Auckland, big green paddocks with farm animals just next to the kid’s playground. The kindy is in a converted shed with high ceiling and so much natural light. We have been going to Henderson valley private kindy for years. We love it. It’s so relaxed. The boys are always greeted with the biggest welcome every morning. The teachers take such good care of care of them. It’s like leaving them with family. We only have positive things to say! Thank you Norm and Donna and all the kaiako!
