Discover our unique rooms
Each of our four classrooms is designed to cater to the specific learning and developmental needs of each age group, creating an environment where children thrive. We are truly passionate about our outdoor environment, which features an open shared space for children over 2 years old. Nursery children can see our over-2’s through a fence and often interact, fostering tuakana teina relationships and nurturing sibling connections within the centre.
Our high-quality indoor and outdoor learning spaces are thoughtfully designed to engage and inspire our children as they grow and develop. We believe children’s play is central to their learning journey, offering opportunities for adventure, fun, and friendship.
At BestStart Cranford Street, we nurture relationships and provide meaningful learning opportunities that build on children’s natural curiosity. We value the interactions that occur within our centre and use them to support our tamariki’s holistic development.
