Nurturing curious minds!

At BestStart Epsom, we believe that every child is naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them.


This curiosity drives their learning, whether through physical exploration or intellectual discovery. We create rich, engaging learning experiences that nurture this curiosity, helping children develop at their own pace. Our centre offers a warm, welcoming environment where children learn about themselves, their peers, and the world through play and exploration.

Located near the bustling shopping centres of Newmarket, Epsom, and Remuera, and just moments from the Southern Motorway, BestStart Epsom is conveniently situated for families in the area. Our small, cosy centre provides a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city, where children can feel safe and supported as they grow and learn.

Our Kowhai Room offers a calm, nurturing space for our youngest learners, with a focus on developing loving, responsive relationships that respect each child’s autonomy and capabilities. As children grow, our Pohutukawa Room helps toddlers and preschoolers become confident, school-ready discoverers. Through individualised attention and stimulating activities, we encourage children to explore their interests and build social skills, preparing them for a smooth transition to school with our Set for School programme.

Kind words from parents

"I LOVE this daycare. My daughter went in at 10 months, during a separation anxiety stage, and has absolutely thrived here. The teachers were amazing at acclimating my little baby into their center. They know her so well and now at drop off/pick up she is the happiest girl. It is a calm environment with lots of fresh air, the food is nutritious, the ratios are low and the teachers are all lovely. Highly recommend."
Rachel
"I love BestStart Epsom, a parent always worrys about their child starting a new school or transitioning from a home base life into a new environment with children their age. Here at BestStart Epsom my mind was always at ease my son always came home happy and well, he has learnt so much. I am super proud of him and so thankful for all the teachers and helpers at BestStart Epsom. The manager and teachers are absolutely fantastic. I can tell that they genuinely care and try their best to provide a nurturing environment for kids."

"Moving to the other side of the world is a big change and a challenging one. With not having a house and a sense of security, you have been the most comforting and reassuring thing we had."
Parent
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at BestStart Epsom. Our son started here when he was just 6 months old. Initially, he was enrolled at a different daycare, but we quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for our family. Without any advance notice, we transferred him to BestStart Epsom, and the team welcomed him immediately and with open arms—no hesitation at all. That decision has truly been one of the best we’ve made. From day one, Vineeta, the manager, along with all the teachers and staffs, have been wonderful. They have cared for our son with so much kindness, professionalism, and dedication. Over the years—from his infancy to now, at 5 years old—he has thrived in their nurturing environment. He’s learned so much and blossomed into a confident, curious little boy who’s more than ready to start primary school. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at BestStart Epsom for their amazing care and support. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and enriching place for their child
Bernadette
What I really love about the Best Start Epsom team (both the management and the teachers) is how open and approachable they are. They’re always willing to listen, quick to respond, and truly go the extra mile for the families. You can tell they genuinely care, and it shows.
Alex
The whole process has been seamless from start to finish. I have felt supported through the whole process enrolling my son and I feel that he is so well loved and looked after at Epsom BestStart.
Melissa
Amazing staff, facility and my daughter really learned a lot. Her confidence and independence were both developed.
Kris
I love that teachers focus on the learning of the kids and how caring they are. The flexibility towards the parents' work hours and schedule is great.
Luis
The centre has been amazing throughout both of my daughters’ kindergarten period and have given them the knowledge to move forward as they grow up. The staff are friendly, helpful, caring and show up for new adventures everyday. Thank you.
Janice
Kind loving teachers that are attentive to each child’s needs. Amazing healthy food. Abundance of resources that foster learning.
Martina
Annabel has settled in incredibly well - better than I expected! She now doesn't cry on drop offs which is amazing! It helps that she is already familiar with the centre and that her big brother is there. The teachers in her room have been amazing and she has been ready for more socialisation, challenges and new experiences.
Joseph
Vineeta and her team of staff are amazing. From Desre at the front office to all the teachers as well as Jalpa the chef. They are a great team.
Eve
Paarkkavi is excited to go and have fun in the centre friendly staff.
