We believe in the vision underpinning Te Whāriki (2017), that children are competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. Every child is a unique individual and we value and treasure all children regardless of gender and ethnicity, diversity of ability and learning needs, family structure and values, socio-economic status and religion. We believe that the bi-cultural heritage of New Zealand is very significant. We acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand, and are committed to embracing our bi-cultural heritage. We believe that we have a crucial role to play in providing children with culturally responsive environments that support their learning and ensuring that they are provided with equitable opportunities to learn. We appreciate the diverse nature of families in our community and work hard to respect their values and beliefs.
My twins attended this centre for over 2 years and I speak very highly of Young World. The staff are great and cannot do enough for the children in their care, nurturing and developing each childs interests and skills. My kids have now left Young World as confident, happy children capable of interacting well with their peers and very well prepared for their school journey. Thank you so much to Natasha and the rest of the Young World team.
My son, who is originally from a different country, had a great experience at Young World child care. The teacher out there were friendly and supportive which helped him to adopt in new environment and even had great fun doing new activities. I have noticed great growth and development during his time there. Overall, I would highly recommend other parents nearby visit the child care
Our two boys go to Young World and we've been impressed from day one. The staff are engaged, very friendly and supportive. We love that they actively play with the kids and really look to build a fun and educational environment for the children to learn. Cannot speak highly enough of this great daycare and the team.
Great childcare and qualified teachers. Both my kids are very happy. Really, like the way my kids are looked after. Variety of activities and healthy food options. Teachers are friendly and approachable. Moments from the activities are shared in the story park, and I love seeing those updates.
Both my boys are currently with Young World and they both love it. The kaiako's are friendly, kind & professional. Love getting updates of my kids development and learning on story park also activities they've enjoyed. Great environment and would highly recommend.
This daycare is amazing place! great staff and very welcoming. My 19 month old son has been going to Young World for almost 9 months now and we absolutely love it.. I can see the growth and learning every day! All the kaiako in the baby and toddler rooms love having him and he loves seeing them. And best of all, the children seem very happy there- Thank you Natasha, Falise, Jani, Brooklyn, Deepika & to all the kaiako. It’s very nice to know that he is in a caring environment while he isn’t home. Please keep on the great job that you ladies do.
We love Young World! We’ve had 2 boys there for the past 3.5 years, and have had a wonderful experience. The Kiako are all lovely, and take care of our boys as we would. The vegetarian food the centre provides always smells amazing, has nice variety, and they deal well with my fussy eater. We really love seeing the Storypark updates during the day. The teaching and play is very consciously done to support where each child is at. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Young World to anyone!
Wouldn't hesitate recommending Young World! The teachers are so lovely and genuine. I love seeing the different activities the kids get up to and the updates on Story Park make communication easy.
Our kids currently attend Young World and I can honestly say they absolutely love being there! The teachers are amazing; they are heavily invested in each child's journey (including learning and development) and treat your kids as if they were their own. They provide a wide variety of activities for the children to participate in and also organise excursions when weather permits. I enjoy seeing what my kids get up to on Storypark; the teachers are great at keeping parents in the loop and always tell me how my kids day went upon pick-up. Highly recommend sending your child here.
Both of daughters started their daycare journey with Young world daycare. I did a lot of search and found this gem. I am glad i enrolled them here as my girls love it here. Teachers are so warm, friendly and very professional. My girls has learnt so much here. Thank you so much for such an excellent service guys.
Great place and highly recommended. Both my kids were enrolled when they were younger than 1 year old. Teachers are kind and friendly, and my kids love the place. I can trust them to look after my kids very well.
First daycare I've enrolled my babies at and I'm so glad I chose YoungWorld. Beautiful, friendly and loving environment. The staff are amazing and my girls always look forward to going there everyday.
Both my kids started with YW from age of 10 months and they absolutely love YW family. Teachers, activities, and friends. So sad that we are leaving as we moved house. Son is still talking about his life in YW and his friends. Teachers are very responsible and approachable. Highly recommended.
We’d looked at many daycares in the area trying to find the perfect fit for our son. We eagerly watched Young World being built and knew at our first visit that it was the place for us. The staff are warm and caring, the food delicious. The centre is exciting. Our wee boy is greeted with love every morning and you can tell he enjoys his days there. We would happily recommend.
Newly built facility and nicely decorated. The building and the interior looks modern, with spacious and plenty parking spaces. Strategically located in the corner of Hallam St and Owairaka Ave. Staff members are friendly and professional.
We have our three year old here and are soon starting our one year old too. We can recommend Youngworld for its balanced approach to child led learning and structure. They also balance ethical, cultural, and environmental values with just plain fun, friendship and life skills. We have been impressed with their support on our priorities or needs. We sought-after advice from a speech therapist, the excellent managment staff made time to fully understand our extra needs around focused talking time with our child and within a week had made an extra effort to include it in his days. The biggest things are the basics, we can trust that our child is safe and looked after in a nurturing and fun environment. No daycare experience can be perfect, so as any issues that have come up we have solved together with the team there. They maintain a high standard, we get reports on learning and play activities. It would be easy to carry on listing the great work they do.
We have had the most wonderful experience after putting our daughter at YW. The faculty are so warm, passionate and loving and they made it so easy and comfortable with settling down for not just our baby girl but us parents as well. Definitely the most nurturing and safe environment for children of any and all age groups.
Wouldn't hesitate recommending Young World! The teachers are so lovely and genuine. I love seeing the different activities the kids get up to and the updates on Story Park make communication easy.
