At BestStart Cambridge, we are growing Hometown Heroes!

At BestStart Cambridge, we are working in partnership with whānau and the local community to empower our children to achieve their learning potential.

The ‘Hometown Heroes’ vision underpins our curriculum. By developing and mastering their special superhero powers, our learners are active members in our local community and supportive to those in their village/centre. We view children as unique individuals who bring their own set of superpowers with them to our centre.

Our little heroes in training are taught to protect and care for all living things while learning from everyone in our community. We go on walks to see our local flora and fauna to help develop the ability to care for wildlife and plants as well as learning to care for furry friends from the vets next door. Through the creation of our community garden filled with yummy kai, you will see our heroes learning about sustainability, recycling and helping support the wider community.

You will find us in the heart of Cambridge, in the Waikato region of New Zealand. We are in a residential area, but with established trees and the Waikato river running along the back of the property. We love our community and value the beautiful natural surroundings of Cambridge such as the Waikato River, Lake Karapiro, and the picturesque Maungatautari Ecological Reserve.

Kind words from parents

"The care is exceptional. The teachers and all staff — including chefs, relievers, and support staff — genuinely care so deeply for our children. Both of our children are incredibly happy there and absolutely love their teachers, which means everything to us as parents. After a difficult experience with our previous daycare, we are beyond grateful for the care, support, and love we receive at BestStart Cambridge. From day one, we have felt welcomed and truly part of the community. The effort the team puts into every single day is visible and deeply appreciated. Communication is phenomenal, everyone is friendly, and nothing ever feels like a problem. Staff consistently make you feel welcome, and the genuine care they have not only for the children but also for their work really shines through. Jess is a wonderful manager — always present, hands-on, and willing to chat. The staff are happy, and that makes such a huge difference to the environment and to the children’s experience. We are so happy with our decision and incredibly grateful that our children get to be part of such a loving, supportive, and dedicated daycare community."
Staci
"Our BestStart family, is so open and friendly. They listen and help when we need support through our parenting journey. My baby arrives at daycare and runs to her friends and teachers, then comes home fulfilled and smiling and I know she's had a wonderful fun-fuelled day."
Terri
"Amazing is all I can say. The entire team is SO great. Enrolment was a breeze. The teachers are so lovely, kind, patient, supportive and caring towards all the little ones. But they also show the same kindness to parents."
Mia
"Every experience and interaction I have had, or seen any other parent/caregiver have with any member of staff at Best Start Cambridge has been fantastic. Always friendly, helpful, and informative."
Kezzie
"The teachers are so kind and caring and really have the child's best interests at heart. The ladies at Ruma Awhi have been incredible with communication on how our daughter has been settling in and working with her to make her feel safe and secure in the new environment"
