I've had an unusual experience trying to enrol my son here because I am a student at AUT and it…read morewould obviously be super handy to have him at the campus daycare! I've been for a few visits and the place is great - clean and heaps of facilities and the teachers are actively involved with the children, who all seemed like they were having fun. I have had great communication from the manager there about my prospective enrolment. I would give it a 5 star rating if I was actually able to enrol there, but since they were very inflexible about their 2 day minimum policy, I was turned away and told to 'find somewhere else that better suited my needs'. Where else better suits than on campus??! I have 1 daytime class at uni and the rest of my classes are at night when the daycare is closed, so I only wanted to enrol for one day. They would rather have no enrolment than only one day. I was very disappointed.

The Parnell Community Centre runs an excellent community activity programme at very reasonable…read moreprices. They run a great programme that encompasses creative arts and designs, languages, culinary courses, exercise and healthy body courses, photography, technology and sustainability courses. The community centre is located conveniently, just a short walk from Broadway, a short walk from Newmarket train station and it's on the Inner Link bus route. A great option if you're centrally based (living or for work) and also really great for people on a tight budget who would like to try something different. And they also offer discounts for people with a community services card.

They are several rooms on offer such as the Jubilee Room which my friend used as the venue for her wedding reception. This room has a kitchen facility which is perfect for self catering.

It's a big move to send your poppets off to daycare but Little Wonders makes the transition easier. There is a real family feel to the place and the staff seem to really enjoy being with the kids which makes a big difference. There's a cook to cook healthy lunch every day so you don't have the morning drama of sorting out the lunchbox. They get to do all those activities that you don't want them doing at home like play dough, water play, messy painting, cooking and more. I'm not sure where the fees are at these days but whatever they are it's probably worth it.
