Best place for your kids before going to primary school. All staffs are friendly, supportive, and caring. My son learnt lots of skills throughout the time in Beststart.

I have my baby in the nursery since he is 6 months old, they are looking after him very well and with love. They are very professional working in developing skills and have a good communication with us. I work during the day assured that my baby is in good hands. They did a really good job keeping the school open and safe during this difficult days, keeping us always informed. We trust and really recommend the school.

I have been enrolling my son, Archie, with Beststart since he was 14 months old. He has attended Beststart Parkside and Beststart Te Whariki. I have witnessed his growth and development, and the stories shared by his teachers show that he is in a great environment with supportive teachers and friends. I feel confident and secure in my decision to have my son attend Beststart.
