Active Explorers Leeston is fabulous, and I really mean that! What brilliant teachers. They all have such a warm nature and very kind to all the children. My son Gus goes here and he absolutely loves each day... they let the children do what they love the most. I think you are an awesome team and I couldn't be happier that Gus goes to such a caring Preschool. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL YOUR A FABULOUS TEAM.

Active Explorers is a fantastic centre that I would totally recommend to others. The teachers are great with my kids. They do so many activities and explore and focus on topics throughout the year.

As a parent we are kept up-to-date with what is going on. They also have many activities to include parents such as excursions, cross country, and Mataariki. As a parent I definitely feel a part of Active Explorers and am very happy that my children belong to this Centre.

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, to all the staff who have supported and nurtured our boys over the last 3 years!!
You have always made them feel safe and cared for, and have certainly been a big part of their 'special years'. You're all amazing and so a fabulous job!!
