BestStart Onehunga is a beautiful childcare centre near the suburbs of One Tree Hill, Royal Oak and Onehunga. We provide a home-like environment that creates a sense of belonging for our children. We have a multicultural and very passionate team of teachers that provide the very best care and education for local children aged from 3 months up until they go to school.

Where whānau come first

We provide a safe physical, emotional and holistic environment, which allows our children to develop self-confidence, as well as gross motor skills. We believe children learn through free play and encourage them to explore their surroundings and take control of their own learning. The team at BestStart Onehunga value children as confident, competent learners and communicators.

Choosing an early childhood centre is a big decision. At BestStart Onehunga we have created a stimulating and safe educational environment for children and their families. We work closely with parents and this partnership helps children achieve their learning potential. We have excellent staff to child ratios, quality equipment and toys in an attractive learning environment.

A special feature of our centre is the close proximity of our learning environments and playgrounds as this helps in a smooth transition for our toddlers and is also very beneficial for siblings. In addition, our unique Be School Ready initiative has been developed to ensure that children leave the centre as confident, capable learners and prepared for the next step in their education journey.
