BestStart Manuroa Road is a unique early learning centre located in Takanini, featuring three purpose-built buildings—Matai, Kowhai (home to our office and reception), and Titoki. Our spacious indoor and outdoor environments, including large playgrounds and separate dining rooms, create a welcoming and inspiring setting that attracts families from the local community. We celebrate cultural traditions, fostering a strong sense of belonging and connection for children and their whānau.

kind words from our parents

Parent

The nursery is a caring, safe and nurturing environment for my baby. The teachers have made my return to work easier, knowing my children are genuinely looked after. Verity has thrived!

Parent

The nursery is a lovely warm place , they have welcomed my three girls and they have been really happy. I feel confident that they are looked after as they are always happy when I pick them up. Madelene who I just enrolled into the nursery is learning so much.

Parent

My Daughter has recently joined the centre and she has settled in so well. She has picked up new learning and adjusted really well. The teachers have been so wonderful with my daughters transition. She is very settled.

Parent

The senior room is an awesome space for growing kids. The teachers are genuinely interested in the children’s growth and development. They are supportive and offer room for individual personalities to thrive.

Parent

Our daughter has settled very well into the Centre. The teachers are very kind and understanding to her schedule and my work hours. We had a very tricky situation during lockdown and we had no carer for our daughter. BestStart Manuroa Rd worked with us and went the extra mile to see if they can settle her and accommodate her in their bubble. Special Mention to Tina C who worked to find out the best solution for us during these tough times.

Parent

Absolutely love this centre. The communication between parents and teachers. The ability to track any milestones online with storypark. The warm and loving home feeling that I walk in to every morning is sooo reassuring as I head of to work for the day.. knowing my child is loved and cared for.
