Parent Testimony

We are thrilled to share our wonderful experience with Ako childcare. From the very beginning, Shannon and the entire team have been exceptional in looking after our son, Archer. The nurturing and attentive care provided in the nursery has significantly contributed to his growth and development.

Archer has thrived in this warm, welcoming environment, and we have noticed remarkable progress in his social and cognitive skills. The dedication and passion of the Ako team are evident in everything they do, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact they have had on our child’s early years.

Thank you, Shannon and the Ako team, for creating such a supportive and loving atmosphere. We couldn’t be happier with the care Archer receives, and we highly recommend Ako to any parents looking for an outstanding childcare experience.

A year and a half ago I made the choice to put Dakota into Ako preschool, it was the best decision and I have never looked back.  The confidence, knowledge growth, language and communication skills that Ako has helped Dakota develop has been incredible. All the teachers are so friendly, engaging and helpful . You truly feel like the teachers care for the kids and treat them as their own. Ako communication is outstanding and you never feel scared to ask a question or check up on your child when it is their first days.

I would like to express my utmost gratitude and thanks to all the staff at “Ako” for your ongoing care, collaboration and support you all so gracefully provide to my daughters and I. Among many delightful learnings my children bring home, I love listening to my daughters reciting waiata and kupu Māori they learn from Ako. As a working parent, I have all confidence knowing my children are safe and cared for at Ako. 

A big thank you for being so lovely, understanding and significant figures in my children’s lives.

As a first time mumma and having to go back to work faster than I would have liked, the staff in the nursery made me feel at ease and took great care of my child

What an awesome journey with Ako! Since joining the Ako family, our son developed into a curious, fun loving boy! Thank you for taking such good care of him always; making sure he feels safe and loved. It was the best decision we had made for him to join the Ako-Team!

We started our Journey with Ako Rolleston at the beginning of this year (2024). Ako has a warm vibe and home like feel with smaller numbers which was appealing as we transitioned from home base.

My son Kaius has settled in well and developing stronger relationships with Shannon and Anna alongside the other staff members that flow in and out of the space. This is a space where I feel content to leave my son knowing he is cared for and needs are met above and beyond. I can confidently recommend Ako Rolleston of a wholesome place to bring their children.
