BestStart Pioneer early learning childcare centre is conveniently located at the Pioneer Recreation and Sports Centre in Spreydon. We pride ourselves on our centre’s family feel which is proven with the strong relationships our teachers have with both the children and their whanau. At BestStart Pioneer we believe in supporting our children to become capable and confident through learning, discovering and exploration.

Our Vision: Being Together, Growing Together

Our learning spaces - The centre has two separate areas, the under two area catering for children aged three months to two years old and the over two area catering for children aged two to five years.

Infants and toddlers - Our teachers pride themselves on the warm, caring atmosphere they have created as well as the strong relationships they have developed with families.

In the under two area teachers follow the children’s cues and routines providing a respectful, calm and unhurried environment to explore at their own pace and in their own time. Our children children explore, discover and challenge themselves while having fun.

Preschoolers - In our over twos area we have a large outdoor space that promotes healthy physical activities. We focus on children developing their confidence and independence as well as the ability to work cooperatively with others.

We provide stimulating learning opportunities that will challenge and extend your child’s learning and development and instill the skills needed for successful lifelong learning. We want children to leave BestStart Pioneer with a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge. We have successfully gained our Silver Healthy Heart Award - Whanau Award - from the NZ Heart Foundation.

kind words from our parents

Parent

We couldn’t be more happy of our choice of nursery for our little boy, he has settled in so well. The nursery teachers and other staff are great, very friendly and caring. We love it that they change the activities regularly to keep him stimulated and learning. We feel confident that when we leave him he is happy and well looked after.

Parent

As part of our family for almost 5 years, your care, guidance, teaching and support have helped shape our son into the fun, adventurous, creative and confident child he now is.

A big thank you to BestStart Pioneer. For 7 years you have been part of our lives and will always be. Thank you to all the staff. You guys are amazing. You have been very kind to us, your dedication and compassion are superb. You are all so accommodating and approachable. It's so nice to come in the centre and you're greeting with lovely smiles, it makes you feel welcome, thank you. Our 7 years of coming in and out of the centre has been so comfortable that it feels like home. Thank you for all the learnings that you taught to our children, the values and experiences.
