BestStart Cranford Street, where diversity lives and whanaungatanga grows

We pride ourselves in being a creative and bubbly centre with four classrooms, supporting productive partnerships (ka hikitia) and fostering children's learning and development through every age and stage.

We value children’s play as part of the learning journey through adventure, fun, and friendship. Our tamariki (children) develop independence, confidence, and skills that set them up for a lifelong love of learning.

At BestStart Cranford Street, we are committed to supporting and empowering each child as a unique individual, helping them become competent and confident learners. Your child's learning journey and milestones are captured and shared through Storypark, our safe online communication system, where you can stay connected to their daily activities and progress.

We value and teach important principles, including:

  • Respect: for themselves, diverse cultures, the environment, and the people around them.
  • Empathy and Compassion: understanding and being considerate of others’ needs.
  • Independence: enabling children to take ownership of their learning and routines.

Kind words from parents

"Such a wonderful place! We moved from overseas last year and the staff here have done all they can to make sure both our boys settled well. All staff go above and beyond to form connections with the children, facilities are fantastic! We love it!!"
Megan
"100% recommend, both my boys have been through cranford street. You can see the love and passion the teachers have there. I love the daily updates we get from my son’s teachers and they’re always so welcoming. The whole centre has a lovely fun vibe happening for it, and I love being welcomed in as soon as we enter the door. The CM is lovely and willing to help at any chance she gets and the teachers are second to none with the communication of how my boys day has gone. I love the experiences on the tables inside and the big jungle gym outside! Well done Beststart!"
Rachel
"My daughter started this preschool a year ago now and I cannot speak highly enough of the Centre. The staff are amazing! Can't think of a better place and people to have around my child."
