At BestStart Everglade Babies, we are a team of dedicated teachers who are passionate about providing a fun, loving, nurturing environment for babies aged between 3 months to 2 years old. We strive to provide the highest quality care and education and to support you through the settling transition as best as we can.

A Unique Babies Cottage

We practice primary care giving where your baby will have a key teacher responsible for all their care needs and special moments. This builds secure relationships to allow us to support your child as an individual to reach their full potential. This is a lovely home like centre that is truly the best place possible to begin your child’s life long learning journey.

We pride ourselves on extending children’s learning through play as well as understanding that each child is a unique individual. Our programme is culturally inclusive and we strongly value parent-teacher partnerships, working towards your child reaching their full potential. You can trust that the children in our care are loved, secure, settled, relaxed, happy, safe and age-appropriately challenged. We are also very proud of our fantastic, large and natural outdoor area for the children to explore which has recently been refurbished.

Our qualified staff drive a fantastic programme specifically designed to extend on the children’s interests and extend learning through play.

We have an open-door policy so please feel free to pop in any time as we would love to show you around or call our Centre Manager for a chat.

kind words from our parents

Parent

My daughter is currently visiting and starts in two weeks. She is settling in and loving it. This centre and the staff have made me feel so much more at ease with placing my daughter in day care as I have been struggling with the decision. Thank you :)

Parent

I must say that I really like friendly staff members in Everglade Babies. That is one of the reason why I have decided to enrol Hannah in your centre. I feel really relieved that I have found “the” centre for Hannah.

Parent

What attracted me most to the centre was the homely feel. The teachers are amazing. Tracey takes such good care of our little man and it shows through with the love Kieran shows for Tracey. All the staff put my mind at ease knowing Kieran is well looked after. I cannot thank you all enough for all your hard work.

Parent

The teachers here are beyond excellent. They have so much love and kindness to share. Preet is just an amazing teacher and we are blessed to have her as Deens key teacher. I am happy with things just the way it is. Preet is an outstanding, loving and supportive teacher. And Candice is an exceptional manager. She always goes above and beyond to get the best outcomes to any concerns I have ever voiced.

Parent

I tell all my friends and family to stop what they're doing and enroll the babies at BestStart Everglade, it's the best!! And without a doubt, Amokeiha leaves that place with a huge smile! The teachers are incredible Amokeiha has learnt so much already it wows me daily! We love being a part of the best start whaanau!
