We believe it takes a village to raise a child. Providing a nurturing and education environment where your pēpi are supported to reach their milestones in a safe and loving environment. We plant the seed for learning by allowing and encouraging your pēpi to make new discoveries each day and developing independence and self management. We believe in nurturing our pēpi to then be capable and confident to grow their wings. We work in partnership with our families to provide an educational, calming and nurturing space where our children feel at home. Each pēpi has the freedom to make new discoveries each day, sparking their curiosity and encouraging exploration.

Discover our unique rooms
BestStart Dinsdale has three learning rooms catering to every age group from 3 months to 6 years old. We are lucky to have great outdoor spaces where our children can challenge themselves and develop their physical skills. We utilise our wharenui for dance and kapa haka. We also have opportunities for our children to connect across the rooms to encourage tuakana / teina relationships, as well as walks down the Frankton Rugby club for some extra physical activity.

Toddlers experience an environment where play is the heart of their learning. Our little explorers enjoy a variety of learning experiences that foster their natural urge to play and enhances their curiosity, nourishing their roots and building a foundation for learning. Toddler play is purposeful and exciting where children develop their communication skills and regulate their emotions as they are navigating social competency. Kaiako support these through a wide range of fun activities that keep the interest of busy toddlers.
