kind words from our parents

Clodagh Sutton

We had the difficult task of deciding to move our daughter from her old daycare. But what a great decision to move to Beststart Coast Boulevard! Our daughter is so happy there & even talks about going on her days off. The center is a beautiful and calm space with a huge outdoor area which was really important to us. I'm especially impressed with the communication, open, friendly, honest & fun. It seams they are really building a lovely community here & i cant recommend it enough. 5 stars for location, staff, layout & equipment.

We have been so happy with moving our daughter to BestStart Coast Boulevard. The teachers are so caring and have made the transition really easy. My daughter loves the teachers and is loving all the toys and the activities provided. One of the big bonuses for me is not having to battle the Mount traffic in the morning anymore as it’s a quick 2 minutes down the road instead of a 30min round trip

Natasha

I’m so grateful for the patience, enthusiasm and passion you all show. The centre has a sense of calm and warmth. The teachers are so accommodating of children’s differences and don’t let this hold them back. You are helping to set the children up for a lifetime of success.

Michelle Fraser

My daughter has been at BestStart Coast Boulevard for around six months. I was concerned that it might take a while for her to transition (from her last preschool) but this was not the case at all. The wonderful teachers went above and beyond to make her feel safe and secure with lots of cuddles and fun activities. BestStart Coast Boulevard is a wonderfully resourced centre with amazing teachers, which I highly recommend”.

Parent

Simply it’s just awesome how they care for children and keep them engaged with new things . Especially Sharn, Kaya , Nicole , Debbie and all of them are big part of my daughters growth. I feel so relaxed every drop off.

Parent

Staff are all very friendly, meals are well prepared, rooms standards are well cleaned and maintained, updates and communication are always informed well. My children are very happy here.

Parent

I can't fault the centre in any way. From a warm and welcoming reception - Sanela is wonderful. To caring and friendly teachers , my children absolutely love them and I could not be more thankful. I could not have made a better choice to send my little ones to Coast Boulevard. Your team is absolutely amazing and there is not a single thing or person I could fault.

Parent

It’s more like family to me here. Sharn is so amazing always there whenever I need emotional support. Rosie and all other staff been taking so much care like it’s their own kids and Angela is like grand mum for my daughter . Raising her is big task without family in NZ but BestStart Coast Boulevard makes it much easier for me
