BestStart Berryfields Crossing

Nestled in a new and expanding community, BestStart Berryfields Crossing offers a strong foundation for tamariki and their whānau.

With the majestic Richmond Ranges in view, our center embodies stability, strength, and continuity, much like these natural constants. These values underpin everything we do, ensuring a supportive environment where children feel secure and ready to embark on their learning journey.

Our approach to education is guided by the Waimea River’s symbolism of change and growth. Just as the river adapts and flows, our teaching evolves to meet the unique needs and interests of each child. We celebrate their development and milestones through meaningful events, including Matariki, our centre’s birthday, and Christmas, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

At BestStart Berryfields Crossing, we believe in nurturing both the body and mind. That’s why we provide delicious and nutritious meals, tailored to cater to all dietary needs, accompanied by meaningful rituals like karakia before mealtimes. Our kaiāwhina are present during meals, supporting tamariki in a homely and respectful atmosphere.
