### null review (5/5)

For parents looking into placing their little ones in a safe daycare or new care, would 100% recommend Best Start Wattle Downs. Our eldest daughter is 4 years old now loves going and has been with them since she was 1yr old, now our soon to turn 2yrs old son has started both at the same daycare. The manager and staff are so welcoming and always keep us parents updated on their curriculum for their daycare, holding parents meetings to discuss what goals we want for our kids that they can contribute towards. They have van service which is run by a sweet wahine. Thank you best start family for being a big part of J&C’s lives.

The kaiako at BestStart Wattle Downs have been absolutely amazing in helping my daughter settle into daycare. As one of the younger children who is still crawling, they created a safe, nurturing environment where she could learn, grow, and thrive. Their genuine love and care for the children is so evident, and the communication from the team has been great. The centre is also well-equipped with  resources that support every stage of development. I couldn’t be happier with the support and care my daughter has received.  I also love how they celebrate all the different language weeks and events throughout the year celebrating our diverse culture 😊

We love this childcare. My child has been attending for 3 years and it has transformed into a beautiful home away from home for her. The environment is well thought out, respectful, clean and well presented. There are always lots of activities for my child to engage in as soon as she walks in the door. There are lots of resources to play with. The staff are caring and nurturing and they make sure that my child’s needs are met and she feels loved and safe while she is there. I highly recommend this centre.
