### null review (5/5)

I have my youngest son now at BestStart Montel. Unlike his older brother, who adapted very well straight away in daycare, my youngest was the opposite. He was crying and not eating well. I was very concerned, but the teachers were very helpful. They would update me everyday about how my son's day went. They would also inform me on what he ate and what he liked. It was a partnership effort between me and the teachers until such time that my kid doesn't cry anymore and I no longer have to pack his snacks and lunches because he had started eating everything he was offered. My husband and I was so relieved. We really felt like the daycare was an extension of our family. My son's social skills have now extremely progressed and we are very much happy about it. Thank you ,BestStart Montel. 😊

Our family appreciates all the wonderful care everyone at BestStart Montel have given my son this past year. He always looks forward to seeing all his friends and teachers. We are so grateful that he is part of a centre that has such a warm and friendly atmosphere. All of the staff that we have met so far are kind and professional. And finally, we are so thankful about how supportive and mindful they are in dealing with our son's allergies. Thank you again, BS Montel! All the best.

My son has been at Best Start Montel Ave for a year now and I highly recommend this daycare. The staff are friendly and caring, and my son is very excited to be at daycare. I have also had my daughter come here a few years ago. I went all over West Auckland to find a lovely daycare and I found what I was looking for at Best Start Montel Avenue. My kids have both learn't a lot through daycare. It's the best in the west!
