What matters to you, matters to us
Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou, ka ora ai iwi
This simple phrase is the backbone of our philosophy. It is our mission to find out what matters to you in the care and education of your child. You and your children are at the heart of what we do.
BestStart Greenmeadows is a home-like centre for those parents looking for a place with a heart for children and a passion to listen and respond to what matters to them.
Amazing playground
You will experience our wow factor as you walk beyond the front doors into the children’s adventure play spaces. We are proud of our playground. Not only is it safe, secure and easy to supervise, but it is also lots of fun for our children. Mounds to climb slides to whizz down, mud puddles to create in, water play and sandpits. Not to mention open spaces for running, stretching and being free to imagine. You need to see it!
What else you can expect from our childcare centre:
- We offer part-time and full-time sessions
- A curriculum that reflects and supports children’s current individual and group interests.
- Storypark profiles for each child
- Winz and 20 free ECE hours approved
Our learning spaces
Our centre consists of two houses which stand back to back, with grounds spreading from Kennedy Road through to Tait Drive. We have 3 separate rooms that children transition between as they mature and develop. Each room has a special nature or mauri that characterises the teaching and learning experience. See below for information about each of our rooms.
