Having had wonderful experiences at Kidsfirst Halswell with my two older children it is so nice to have my youngest attend also. The experienced teaching team are outstanding and complement each other so well.
A wonderful outdoor area and always plenty of activities to learn, challenge and provide a fun experience for the children.
I highly recommend this kindy.

Both my two children have gone to Halswell Kindergarten. If you are seeking childcare that has stable staffing, educational and lots of natural outdoor space, then this is for you. The stable staffing (some teachers have been there for circa 20 years) for me was the major drawcard, as I think it helps enable a sense of security for the children (and parents).  I did initially try daycare for my eldest, like many parents, drawn to flash new facilities and food offerings. But when the staff were changing on such a regular basis, and my child becoming so unsettled, kindergarten proved to be an excellent subsequent  choice. I had no hesitation with sending my youngest there, and he currently is just thriving. Kindergarten is an excellent childcare option.
