BestStart North Road

At BestStart North Road, in Prestonville, Invercargill we explore, discover and learn together every day. Located in Invercargill, our welcoming childcare centre provides early learning and care for children aged 3 months to 5 years, with strong connections to the Invercargill community.

We believe children thrive when they feel safe, valued and connected. That's why we work closely with whānau and our local community to create meaningful experiences that help children build confidence, curiosity and a strong sense of belonging.

Whether your child is starting childcare for the first time or getting ready for school, our centre offers:

• A strong community connection: Our open-door approach means families and the wider community are always welcome, helping children grow up feeling connected to the people and places around them.
• Regular local excursions: Children regularly explore places around Invercargill, including Nichols Garden Centre, Waikiwi Vets, the Tractor Shop, Galway Street Park and Thompsons Bush. These real-world experiences help children discover their local community and learn beyond the centre.
• Intergenerational connections: Each term, children visit Rowena Jackson Rest Home, building meaningful relationships with residents and enjoying the special experience of connecting with older generations.
• School connections: Termly visits to Donovan Primary School help children become familiar with the school environment and support a confident transition to primary school.
• Strong relationships: Our teachers take the time to know each child and family, creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel secure, valued and confident to explore.

At BestStart North Road, your child is part of a community where they can explore their world, build meaningful relationships and develop a strong sense of belonging.
