Beststart Fendalton is a small, homely, renovated villa. We have a beautiful big outdoor space with lots of natural shade from our well established trees. When you visit our centre, you feel cosy and at home in our indoor spaces. We provide high quality education and childcare for tamariki from 3 months to 6 years old and are conveniently located on Fendalton Road, perfect for easy pick up and drop off on the way to work in the city. Relationships are at the heart of what we do. When you step into our centre you and your tamariki will quickly feel like part of the whānau as we get to know you and your values. We love to get out and about in our community and go on weekly excursions to Riccarton Bush, Mona Vale, Tūranga (city library) and more. We also have a strong Set for School programme that our 4-year-olds engage in each day, to prepare them for their next big transition to school.
We can't wait to have you join our whānau!
We are a close knit team who are very passionate about having fun with our tamariki. Because we are such a small centre tamariki get to develop strong relationships with all kaiako as kaiako from the preschool regularly spend time in the nursery and vise versa. This means that when it comes time for that big transition (which we know can be scary for whānau) from the nursery space into the preschool, your little one already knows the preschool kaiako well and this helps them quickly develop a sense of belonging within their new space.
Our centre is a small, homely, renovated villa. When you visit our centre you feel cosy and at home in our indoor spaces. You will see lots of natural and wooden resources. Space for children to explore, but also have a rest if they wish. Our environment is intentionally set up with resources and experiences that encourage our tamariki to be investigators, to try new things, explore, develop their own understanding of the wider world around them, and let their creativity flow.
