BestStart Allenton provides quality childcare and education, in a specially designed, four classroom centre. We are located in the heart of Allenton and are conveniently open from 7am – 6pm. We offer nutritious meals during the day, in line with our healthy heart award, with children reaping the benefits of eating together in a homely way. As a team we believe children learn through play, exploration and following their own interests.

Togetherness Happens Here

Our beautiful rooms

We have two rooms across our nursery that offers an inviting and spacious layout, catering for unhurried and gentle routines throughout the day for all children under two years old. We have a room dedicated to infant care, where individual routines are cherished and followed in partnership with parents. The teaching team are dedicated to nursery care and have trusting and nurturing relationships with all children. Both rooms offer calm and nurturing play spaces for children to enjoy and learn based on their interests and developmental needs.

We have two rooms for our children aged two to five which offer age appropriate learning areas. Our preschool room, with children aged two to three and a half years, has low teacher to child ratios to offer extra support and care. While children explore, they are empowered to select their own activities and embrace learning experiences during the day. The teaching team are dedicated to creating fun, exciting and enriched learning opportunities for all children. 

Our prep room, for our older children before they go to school, is a room that enhances children’s thinking, fosters their self-help skills and builds their identities as confident learners. The teaching team are dedicated to celebrating each child’s successes and the unique learning contributions every child brings to the classroom.

Our caring staff

Our teachers pride themselves on the relationships they have with families and children. Through these relationships, family aspirations are an important part of our planning and assessment cycle. The shared knowledge we gain from families about your children, leads to connected learning from home into the centre.
