BestStart Dinsdale
At BestStart Dinsdale we're a lovely early learning centre with individual rooms created for the developmental stages of our tamariki. We're open from 7.30am to 5.30pm right through the year, only closing for public holidays.
At BestStart Dinsdale we value every child as an individual!
Their independence is valued and encouraged through exploration, play and cultural identity. We plant seeds on a foundation of kindness, trust and respect to rise and lift others.
We value trusting relationships where we work together with our families and whānau is integral to developing an understanding of what each child needs to learn, grow and develop. We work hard to nurture these relationships and create open and honest communication. When we do this we can make sure every child has the support they need to thrive.

Our Spaces
BestStart Dinsdale has three learning rooms catering to every age group from 3 months to 6 years old. We are lucky to have great outdoor spaces where our children can challenge themselves and develop their physical skills. We utilise our wharenui for dance and kapa haka. We also have opportunities for our children to connect across the rooms to encourage tuakana / teina relationships, as well as walks down the Frankton Rugby club for some extra physical activity.
