The Parenting Place Reviews

Parenting place has so many effective resources for parents, lovely people doing great things, can't recommend them enough, I have attended several courses and talks there.

Great space with awesome facilities. Can have a coffee while your kid is in the play area while you're waiting.

This is a review on the Parenting Place, the organization, not the cafe. I am giving them a review of zero stars due to bad customer service and follow up. They seem to have some great services but no one answers the phone and there seems to be a lack of organization and respect for parents. I was messed about on two different occasions and after taking time off from work for a scheduled coaching session that was ignored by staff I am no longer going to work with this organization. Their lack of professionalism and acknowledgement of parents is appalling.

Coffee is great, absolutely delish salads, free WiFi and friendly staff. I highly recommend.

If I did not have the most delicious carrot cake to date! Who knew you could add custard?! AMEN!
Spacious cafe, fantastic staff- Ave & Jordan were so easygoing, made delicious fluffies for the kids and great vibe.
Nice play area for the kids, lots of seating however very limited car park.

Nice place for small coffee group, very difficult to find parking.

Nice child friendly cafe. Lots of space for children to run around.

Enjoyed a very informative session about the teenage brain.

Grest cafe, awesome parental resources, and friendly staff and people

Great people doing great work. A much needed service and group of people in New Zealand.

Lovely, sit down have a nice meal & know that the little one are safe playing in full view.

Only went to the cafe area with kids but was great. Kids were able to play safely while mums had coffee ! Great indoor option if it's raining and are wanting to go out with toddlers.

Beautiful relaxing feeling here :-) Great information. Nice coffee. Very friendly people <3

For those that are into making expresso at home, I recommend trying out the coffee beans sometimes sold at the Cafe. it gives a nice, fluffy grind and makes very good single shots. The kids play area is also pretty good for all children - there are often children with special needs playing there as there's a private pediatric OT office in the complex.

The only problem is that the Cafe food doesn't have any dairy free choices - not so great for children allergic to dairy.

Amazing friendly service. A great place to chill and work from

Great place to stop for a while and catch up with a mate with or without children. However if you go without kids please do expect there to be people with kids there. Nice food and drinks and great atmosphere. Has a library of books available for purchase and the centre itself runs lots of programmes and courses. Check them out sometime

A must visit especially if you have kids and want a nice coffee and place for kids to play!

Spacious!! Safe area for kids to play while mums can relax and have a cup of coffee. Great indoor option on a rainy day.
Wonderful place for mums to catch up with one friend or a group of friends!

Great work but the cafe has lost the feel it once had. Miss the shelves of books and stuff.

Great cafe. Were helpful with my allergies and offered an alternative milk. They did have some gluten free food options but nothing for anyone dairy free. The indoor play area is great for kids and there are different options for seating. parking is limited

Good coffee but tainted by the refusal to put it in a proper cup..

Supportive environment, educational and helpful plus coffee!

Great coffee, staff are friendly. Great parenting resources available on site.

Excellent resource and safe space for kids n parents

Great organisation with lots of resources for today's parents, big cafe that's good for meeting up.

Friendliest, most caring staff I have ever come across <3

Amazing place if you have children or a large group :) lovely food

Always clean&nice area for a nice coffee&chat with friends

awesome place great books and good place for coffee light lunch

Have a baby, toddler or under 5 year old? Get to this cafe... you're welcome!

This is a review on parenting place cafe. I am vegan, i ordered a soy chai latte. The soy milk had definitely curdled and tasted off (tangy). I complained, staff member brushed me off saying it was soy milk. I told her i am vegan and know what soy milk tastes like. No one returned to respond. No apology, no refund, no re-make - well, no response!

Great place for parents with small kids and for professionals holding meetings alike. Friendly staff, beautiful and quiet meeting rooms, accommodating 50+ conference style.

Great coffee and relaxing environmental
Spacious and welcoming.

I was expecting more adapted to kids taste, for a place called Parenting place. The kids play are is small and without soul. It needs a renovation having them in mind. It has more like an office taste. Any kids friendly cafe is better. On the other hand resources for parents are quite good. Some of their book are not very much aligned to the positive parenting, and more to the old school rising. Same about their talks

Cafe is great, lounge area and play area fantastic. The parking really lets it down unfortunately.

Nice place to go and spend time with a toddler. Toy area. Nice cafe.
