BestStart Nottingham Avenue

BestStart Nottingham Avenue is a homely, long-established centre that provides care and education for children aged 3 months to 6 years.

Our center comprises three dedicated, age-appropriate classrooms within two converted houses, each featuring their own adjoining gardens, trees, and playgrounds. This setup allows children to connect with each other in different areas of the center throughout the day.

Our vision, "Relationships Nurture and Support Learning," guides everything we do at BestStart Nottingham Avenue. Our core priorities include Expressing Ourselves, Language Discovery, Investigating our World, and Growing Relationships. We are a lunchbox center, encouraging children to bring their own lunch boxes to develop essential self-care skills for school. We provide nutritious morning and afternoon teas that adhere to Healthy Heart guidelines. Our strong community connections include relationships with local schools and regular visits to local amenities like Te Hapua Halswell Library and the local Halswell Domain.
