BestStart Mount Wellington is an established early learning childcare centre located close to Sylvia Park in Mt Wellington. We're conveniently open from 7am to 6pm and offer a range of childcare options to suit your family’s needs.

Learning areas - Our diverse teaching team are experienced, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.  We have created individual learning areas to inspire our children as they grow. Rooms have resources and activities specific to each age group, supporting them to gain confidence and develop in their own time. Our warm, loving environments ensure all children feel safe and nurtured, leaving them free to explore and discover though child-centered learning.

Inclusive and respectful - We are fortunate to be nestled within a multicultural community and regularly celebrate cultural events and celebrations alongside our children and families. We work closely with our parents and encourage them to be part of our wonderful centre. We have an open door policy and also endeavour to be part of the wider community.

Community connections - We have close connections with a number of primary schools in the local Mt Wellington/Panmure community. We have regular school visits to support a positive transition to school for our older children. As well as our connections with primary schools, we also offer our unique Be School Ready initiative which has been developed to ensure that children leave the centre as confident, capable learners and prepared for the next step in their education journey.

We welcome all whanau and children to come visit us and become part of our well-resourced, quality learning environment.

kind words from our parents

Parent

We are really grateful that you really accommodated both of our boys’ needs at the centre. As you know, Kenji is very shy and not familiar with English speaking environment. You allowed our two boys to stay together, making special toy boxes for them, and other little but meaningful things to help them settle at the centre.
