BestStart is one of NZ's leading early childcare providers. BestStart Greerton in Tauranga provides affordable, high quality education and award winning childcare for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

BestStart Greerton is a place where everyone belongs!

At BestStart Greerton, we prioritise building trusting and nurturing relationships with children and their families. It's important everyone feels a sense of belonging and trust. Trust builds confidence to explore, and from here the magic of learning begins.

Located in one of Tauranga's major suburbs, our centre is a hidden gem tucked behind the local fire station. We cherish inclusivity and celebrate diversity, embracing the richness it brings to our community. Children are at the heart of all we do, and we take immense pride in fostering their well-being. Our adorable guinea pigs, one of them is named Liquorice and our friendly cockatiel, Olly, add to the warmth and joy of our centre.

Respect and care for our environment is very important to us. We encourage thoughts of Papatūānuku in our daily activities. Children learn about sustainability through activities such as recycling and building a natural playground – we even have our very own worm farm!

At BestStart Greerton, we encourage children to express their uniqueness, explore, and stay true to themselves. We value the learning that comes from diversity and foster relationships where we learn from each other and our wider community.

kind words from our parents

Parent

Our daughter has been attending BestStart Greerton for 2.5 years and it is her "happy place”. She is so loved there, I as a parent feel comfortable with all the staff and know that my little one is in great hands. I also love Storypark and getting to share with relatives that do not live in the area.

Parent

My children have been attending BestStart Greerton for 6 years now. My son has now transitioned to school and my daughter still attending the centre. In the process of enrolling my daughter into childcare, I did not think twice as to where she would attend as BestStart was my only option as not only was my son attending at the time but by then they were our 2nd family. The staff are Amazing, outgoing and most of all Supportive with not only our tamariki but with the parents and caregivers also. BestStart have been “The Best” with our children and their Learning abilities BUT also with our Pet Piggy, whom is forever humbled with a Full Tummy thanks to “Once Again” Best Start Greerton. As I said “You DONT have to think twice” Love your Forever Whanau.

Parent

I like the relaxed but structured environment; all the teachers are really friendly.

Parent

Our son has been there 3 years and the team treat us like family. He loves it there!

Parent

The staff are very friendly and developing positive relationships with all the children. They create a safe and happy learning environment with great values and lots of fun.
