What Set for School looks like in the Koru Room
Here at BestStart Botany Road our Set for School programme underpins all that we do and this starts in the Fantail Room and follows your child through the centre to the Koru Room. When children turn 4 and come into the Koru Room there is a dedicated Set for the School portion of their day
