A dedicated space for our youngest children where we provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can explore and discover at their own pace. We recognise the importance of nurturing trusting relationships and teachers provide this through loving, caring interactions in our every-day routines. Parents are at the heart of our centre and are encouraged to be part of children’s celebrations and learning experiences, providing a sense of whanaungatanga (connection).

Our expansive playground, set amidst beautiful mature trees on the Taieri Plains, provides the perfect setting for children to explore, learn, and play. With a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, children are encouraged to engage with their surroundings, developing a deep connection to the environment. This combination of a warm indoor atmosphere and vast outdoor space makes BestStart Mosgiel a nurturing and inspiring place for children to grow and thrive.
Pikiwara Under 2's
MakamakaOver 2's
A large outdoor area is the highlight of our Makamaka room. Children explore freely with a large sandpit, bike track and numerous climbing challenges. Large mature trees provide plenty of shade, and learning opportunities to enjoy Papatūānuku’s finest treasures. With primary and early childhood trained teachers, we provide a variety of early literacy and numeracy experiences for children at all stages of their development. Tuakana/Teina (the older child guiding/empowering their peers) relationships provide children opportunities to develop a strong sense of manaakitanga (respect) within the community.
