## Reviews
### null review (1/5)

Fed our child things he's allergic to, then got mad with us pointing that out, when there was a clear written warning saying no dairy. They also removed someone from early childcare who was the best person for the job. Lots of other parents left same time as us

### null review (5/5)

My daughter has been attending this centre since she was 3 months old. Its like her second home, she absolutely loves it and wakes up every morning excited to go and see her teachers and friends.

Kia Ora BestStart Claudlands,
Romeo has attended Best start Claudlands for 4 1/2yrs and what can i say really... When he 1st started I was very worried as i had never ever thought of putting my kids into childcare but had no choice due to my grandfather's illness.... I searched high n low, went to about 10 different daycares spoke to that many managers and heard many different policies but it wasnt untill I got to BestStart Claudlands where i got a settled feeling, feeling welcomed but also a feeling of whanau... Thats why I choose Claudlands...
He was so scared and cried a lot, so did I😂😂😂 but you all made him and I feel safe and he stopped crying and asked everyday if he could go to school...
Words just couldn't express just how grateful I am to you all at BestStart Claudlands for everything that you all have done for Romeo... I'd like to say a special thank you Rebo Nancy and Eriko for you 3 have been there since my son started, Romeo talks of you 3 a lot and I know he's gonna miss you all and I will to... Another very very special thank you to Rebo for listening to me when I had concerns about Romeo and getting us referred to the places we needed to be and for that I am very grateful...
AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOU THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH BESTSTART CLAUDLANDS

f.y.i
If i ever studied early childhood BestStart Claudlands is the place I'd love to work...

Nga mihi
