We hear you, we see you, we know you.

Ko koe kei ngā taringa, Ko koe kei ngā kanohi, ko koe kei te whatumanawa.

At BestStart Mahora, our tamariki are nurtured in a caring, inclusive and loving environment. We celebrate each child’s uniqueness, empowering them to flourish and thrive at their own pace.

Our learning environment promotes a sense of whanaungatanga and supports our children to work with and alongside each other.  We believe play and learning should be unhurried, child-directed, engaging, and meaningful.

We trust and empower tamariki to make their own choices regarding their own learning and centre environment while promoting sustainability and caring for the natural world around us.

Kind words from parents

I would like to recommend BestStart Mahora to all my friends and family. All the staff members are exceedingly supportive and pleasant. Whenever I go, they always engage in some form of creative activity. My daughter adores going there every day.
Parent
"Beautiful indeed! You guys are such a one of a kind centre. Your creativeness, your acknowledgment of all cultures and I think the fact that you perfect the LOVE/HEART/WHANAU aspect in a way that’s evident on a day to day basis, really sets you apart from every other centre. Two thing really stand out and that’s the LOVE and the absolute PASSION you all have, to be able to achieve what you do on the daily. If there is such a thing as perfection, it’s all you ECE teachers without a doubt. Massive thanks for everything you do."
Parent
"From the very first day that we stepped foot on BestStart Mahora premises, the team have been so helpful and welcoming. As first time parents traversing this unknown ECE world, they made it such an easy transition from being with our little one 24/7. We visited many centres in Hastings and no other centre staff went the extra mile for us."
Parent
"Beautiful! and as a new parent joining the centre whanau I see this vision in place."
Parent
Great staff, they are very loving and nurturing. My daughter always feels safe and they have a great environment to learn new skills every day and always find ways to make the kids' day enjoyable.

I adore our little centre! The staff and manager are amazing and I feel super supported. Over the past few months I had to attend an overnight camp for work, I felt I had the best support with our BestStart whanau. They put my mind at ease knowing she would be safe and loved at home and at kura while I was away. Our daughter is thriving. She is being given challenging experiences to challenge her in a safe and loving environment. I’d recommend our little centre to anyone!
