BestStart Ascot Avenue
BestStart Ascot Ave, in Remuera, has been rated as one of NZ's top childcare centres by The Education Review Office! BestStart is one of NZ's leading early childcare providers. We provide affordable, high-quality education and award-winning childcare for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
At BestStart Ascot Avenue, we strive to be everyday heroes by spreading care and aroha!
Inspired by the Maori saying, "Na to rourou, na taku rourou ka ora ai to iwi" (With your food basket and my food basket, the people will thrive), we believe in appreciating the small gestures and being respectful of the environment and resources around us.
Located near the motorway and the vibrant Remuera community, we have strong community links and frequently explore local places of interest. Families trust us with the care of their precious tamariki (children) and see us as an extended part of their own family. Through daily Storypark posts, we keep families updated about their children's activities, milestones, and learning experiences. Additionally, we provide individual child stories that celebrate their unique progress and achievements.
At BestStart Ascot Avenue, our families value the nurturing environment we provide, allowing tamariki to flourish and thrive. We prioritize a sense of belonging and security, ensuring our centre feels like a home away from home.
We also understand the importance of celebrating special events and creating memorable experiences. From cultural celebrations to centre whānau gatherings we embrace the diverse traditions and interests of our families, making each occasion a cherished memory for tamariki and whanau alike.
Our Team
With years of collective experience, our team thrives in the classroom. Each team member brings their unique talents and expertise, enriching the learning environment for our tamariki (children).
