Beststart Ferry Road, is where cultures thrive!

When you walk into our centre, we hope that everybody feels like they belong. We value diversity and ensure we have strong relationships with each child and each family as these partnerships are the foundation of our centre. These partnerships have created a great community who enjoy coming together and participating in centre events.

Each child’s home culture is valued. We take every opportunity to celebrate, share knowledge and learn about each other. 

Our centre community has inspired a rich programme which aims to celebrate diversity through connection, learning and fun. We find it important for tamariki to make connections with their wider world through these events and through excursions into the community such as Team Sports in our local park and community library visits.

Our Team

We are a passionate team who are dedicated to the best for our tamariki. Regular professional development means we stay up to date on any new teachings to benefit children in our learning community. We have passions for sustainability and are always looking for ways to implement this in our centre. With some members of our team also being primary school trained we also run termly programmes with families to support the transitions to school for their tamariki.
