### null review (5/5)

MacDonald Street has been our daycare centre for over 7 years and we have had 2 kids be supported through their doors and it is nothing but amazing! The staff are always hands on and plan awesome activities for the kids to keep them busy. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a centre they can trust 🥰

In our opinion it’s the best kindergarten in Tauranga. We moved our daughter here as she was not settling in her old kindergarten even after six months being there. Today after one month at this center she is fully settled and happy. Everyone at this centre is passionate about their work. Great centre manager, nice admin,  very nice and professional teachers.
Kids are segregated into three main groups as per their ages and all have plenty of room and opportunity to enjoy themselves. They also have Peter for kids, if you don’t who is Peter you need to get down there to find out

My 4yo old son attends the MacDonald Street centre and we both couldn’t be happier with the amazing service we are provided. They truly care about the children they look after and include the parents in everything that’s happened in their child’s day. I recommend this centre to everyone I talk to. Nothing but positives to say about the team at Best Start MacDonald Street!
