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

My daughter joined when she was 10 months old, and now she’s heading off to school—it feels like the end of a little chapter for us. The teachers have cared for her with patience and kindness, and we’ve seen her grow in confidence. The admin team was also very supportive, special thanks to Gazelle for clear communication and support along with the Work and Income fee processes, which really helped our family. We’re grateful for everything. Thanks to all teachers from Harekeke room to Tui room....grateful❤️❤️

We are so grateful for the positive atmosphere you create at the school. Thank you for the endless patience, care and love you shower on our little ones each day ❤️
The way you nurture their curiosity, guide their tiny steps and create a joyful and safe environment makes the foundation of their learning strong and happy.

Your kindness, creativity and gentle encouragement turn every small achievement into a big success for the children. The children's performances in cultural  program were so confident and enthusiastic. We deeply appreciate your dedication in shaping their early years with so much warmth and wisdom.
Thank you team -- Best Start ❤️❤️

### null review (5/5)

Both of my children attended this centre from an early age (18 months and 5 months), and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience they had. They left BestStart Kenderdine open-minded, confident, inclusive, and culturally richer thanks to the centre’s wonderful celebrations and meaningful exposure to different languages — all delivered through play and fun.

The teachers are exceptional. They are highly competent, genuinely caring, and consistently go above and beyond for each child. When my children started school, they were already able to write their names and count to 100, which made their transition so much easier.

We truly appreciate everything the team has done for our family.
