BestStart Highfield

At BestStart Highfield, we offer an intimate and homely atmosphere that embodies our vision of a “Home away from Home.”

We prioritize building strong partnerships with parents, whānau, and the community, creating a rich and inclusive environment that nurtures opportunities for tamariki to learn and thrive. Our centre is dedicated to meeting the individual, cultural, and diverse needs of our whānau and tamariki.

Located in Timaru / Te Tihi-o-Maru, a picturesque port city in the South Canterbury region, we are surrounded by stunning rolling hills, majestic mountains, and the beautiful sea, with Caroline Bay just a stone's throw away. Many of our whānau enjoy the beach for swimming, play, and walks, and we have easy access to nearby lakes, rivers, and mountains, enriching our children’s experiences with nature and outdoor adventures.
