“We have absolutely loved Manu Kindergarten for our three very different children. The nurturing environment, dedicated staff, and calm, positive atmosphere helped each of them find their place, grow in confidence, and truly thrive. The teachers are exceptionally caring, fun, and kind. We’ve recommended Manu Kindergarten to many families, and we’re genuinely sad that our time there is coming to an end.”

“Having had two children go through Manu from age 3 to school age, I cannot explain enough how beautiful, family-oriented, and safe this kindergarten is. Scott, Liz, Clare, and Lucy are people I trust wholeheartedly to love and care for my little ones without a doubt. They support learning through play and exploration, offer an enormous range of experiences, all while nurturing the individual needs of each child. This is the best you will find in Taranaki, no other kindy like it.”

“Manu Kindergarten is one of a kind. The passion the teachers have for caring, nurturing and supporting children is genuine and authentic. It’s a family run, and family focused kindy where all the teachers know your whole family and go above and beyond to connect with your child on their early education journey. My children feel safe here. The connections and growth that has been supported by the Manu team is something I can’t speak highly enough of.”

“Manu Crescent kindy has been an incredibly positive experience. The teachers go above and beyond to create a caring, safe, and engaging space where our child feels seen and valued. Our daughter is blossoming socially, emotionally and with her learning. The curriculum is very play-based and some beautiful relationships have formed. This kindy has truly felt like a second home and we couldn’t be more thankful.”
