We live in Brookfield too and love it here

I work at Tauranga Primary, although Brookfield is just out of our zone you could look at going into the ballot system?

Brookfield has a primary school but I'm not sure what it's like tho, sorry.

Good luck with your venture ]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:34:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=789315&title=tauranga-mums#789315 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=789250&title=tauranga-mums#789250 Author: Shelt

I live in Brookfield and my sister is studying teaching at uni - she's done a student teacher stint at otumoetai primary and says its a pretty good school. We are looking at sending DD there when she's old enough. I dont think Brookfield Primary is that great (so I've heard) but apparently Bellvue school (same area - near Otumoetai College and Intermediate) is pretty good too.

I love living in Brookfield. Its nice and close to town and we live near the shops where New World is which is really conveinent.]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:01:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=789250&title=tauranga-mums#789250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=788435&title=tauranga-mums#788435 Author: TysMummy

Hi TysMummy,

I live in Papamoa and absolutely love it. I rent a 2yr old lovely house that got a double internal garage, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a lovely big fully fenced back yard... and I pay $340 a week.

I also do In-Home Childcare and love it. have you thought about putting your children into In-Home Care? Its really very good as we have regular outings and awesome resources that get alternated every month.]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:28:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=788386&title=tauranga-mums#788386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=788300&title=tauranga-mums#788300 Author: TysMummy

That's weird about Lilliput - thought they'd be more on to it than that. The ladies at Juniuni are wonderful though - I did a visit there to check it out and it is absolutely fantastic inside!

In terms of areas to buy - depends - Maungatpau, Welcome Bay -some good areas for families. The Mount is quite expensive. Pyes Pa - some nice new subdivision houses... but a wee way from town... and the Avenues right in town are quite expensive. ]]> Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:39:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=779702&title=tauranga-mums#779702 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=778683&title=tauranga-mums#778683 Author: TysMummy

lol Andriea - we have just a 2 and a 1 yr old.... it is 4 mths till we leave for Canada - on a year long teaching exchange.

Even with our two being so close in age...believe me...we muddle along too - only know do I feel like I can take on a lot of extra things - I produced Tauranga Boys' Colleges major school Production "Blood Brothers" this year - I must have been crazy cos it was SO much work - and juggling the two girls as well - but it was important for me to switch my artistic brain again and be around some more adults

I can't imagine how you juggle all of yours!! You have quite the handful! My girls are just starting to interact and play fight - my youngest is not quite walking - so I have to time out Georgia for sitting on her at times She's still young herself and doesn't realise that Matilda is still a baby! ]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:27:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=777541&title=tauranga-mums#777541 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28772&PID=777206&title=tauranga-mums#777206 Author: Andriea
