BestStart Gillies Avenue is a beautiful childcare centre with a lovely natural outdoor area shaded by native trees. It is located within easy reach of Auckland city and motorway links.
Where nurture meets nature
Our centre reflects our growing passion for sustainability and learning through the natural world around us. These experiences will help your child build confidence and knowledge, all designed to support your child’s preparation for school when the time comes.
Your child will have the opportunity and the space to run, climb, laugh, explore, garden, enjoy the sun or have quiet time in sheltered areas, surrounded by our beautiful natural trees.
Creating strong connections with our community is important to us. We want to show our children that we can spread kindness by contributing to our community and helping those in need. One of the ways we show this is through our beautiful Pataka (community pantry) that we installed outside our centre. We want to encourage everyone to take what you need and share what you can.
Infants and Toddlers – 0 to 2.5 years old
Our Infants and Toddlers are surrounded with soft fixings, natural wooden resources and homely touches that provide a loving, holistic play space for your smallest treasure. We encourage your child to grow and learn by exploring the wider world around them. They will learn and grow at their own pace supported by a loving and nurturing team of teachers.
Preschool – 2.5 to 5/6 years old
Our Preschool room is a culturally diverse space, with a large focus on allowing each child’s unique personality to shine. The large, open plan classroom allows room for your child to explore, roam, learn and grow. We value getting outside in the rain, jumping in puddles, exploring amongst the plants, chasing butterflies, and getting messy.
Our talented chef prepares a variety of well balanced, tasty and nutritious meals. Our menu takes inspiration from the diverse cultures in our centre and we like to provide our children with many different culinary experiences to explore.
