Reviews for The Hive ELC Ashburton

Sandy San24 days ago

So thankful for the lovely team at the Hive! Everyone has been incredibly kind, welcoming and supportive, which made the transition into childcare so much easier for both our little one and us as parents. The communication throughout the orientation was clear, thoughtful and reassuring. The manager Maria has been absolutely wonderful to deal with — always approachable, caring and happy to answer any questions or concerns we’ve had. The nursery leader Janella has also been incredibly supportive and nurturing. It’s clear how much care and attention she gives to the children and we have felt very reassured knowing our little one is in such caring hands. All of the educators have been lovely, warm and attentive and we really appreciate the effort they make to get to know our child and help them feel comfortable and settled. The activities are also so well planned and creative, the skill development has been amazing! I definitely wouldn't be able to think of such fun things to do :)

Response from the owner

Thank you for such a generous and heartfelt review Sandy. We’re incredibly grateful for your trust in our team 🧡
