Our multicultural centre is home to a dedicated team of qualified and professional staff – we are focused on providing the highest quality care and education for children aged 3 months to when they are ready to start school.

Regular changes to learning resources and equipment means children have lots of learning opportunities throughout the day. Our baby teachers are nurturing and passionate about supporting under two’s through the early development stages. We have a fantastic Be School Ready initiative which helps ensure your child has the basic skills they need for school. We work closely with Papakura Normal School and are very grateful to have been given this opportunity.

We invite you to visit us at BestStart Tironui and see how we can support your child into becoming a happy, confident learner.

• A planned programme that reflects your child’s interests 

• Nutritious meals prepared on site each day 

• Friendly and approachable staff
