BestStart Orewa West

At BestStart Orewa West, we are all about creating a place where children feel inspired to learn, grow and thrive.

Located in the scenic suburb of Orewa, our centre is perfectly placed for adventure, right beside the peaceful Alice Eaves Bush Reserve and just minutes from beautiful beaches and parks. These natural surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for exploration and play. As your child grows, their needs and routines will evolve, and we work closely with whānau to support each stage of development – from settling into care through to early literacy and preparing for school with our Set for School programme. Our team builds strong relationships with families through trust and open communication, ensuring your aspirations for your child are always at the heart of what we do.

Inspired by the growth of native trees, our rooms are named Puriri, Kowhai and Kauri to reflect the different stages of a child’s early learning journey. Just as each tree grows strong from its roots, our tamariki are supported to flourish through rich learning experiences, meaningful connections and a nurturing environment.

With a garden space and a spacious outdoor area, tamariki have plenty of opportunities to connect with nature through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and support their learning journey.
