BestStart Vardon Road

We are makers, we are shakers, jumping over alligators. We are scientists, we are artists, yes, we are super innovators!

Welcome to the Imagination Station, where everything is possible.
Children learn best through play so, at BestStart Vardon, we let our children’s imaginations run wild. 

Your child could go from starring in a fashion show to exploring enchanted forests and escaping pirates, all before lunchtime! Our teachers bring your child’s imagination to life and teach them how to inquire, problem solve, express feelings and make lasting friendships along the way. Your child will be nurtured to discover their curiosities and make magic happen from the moment they arrive.

So, step right into the nursery but do take care as you might find yourself lost in the hustle and bustle of the little explorers. They decorate the floor with an assortment of pegs, shells, blocks, and rattles. Dress ups are out of the basket and up in the air to find the perfect scarf for moving and grooving. Playdough is squished on the table in an abstract fashion, and paints are tested for taste while colour swatches are best done on bodies! Don’t be alarmed - giggles and squeals are the norm as swarms of bubbles escape from eager hands. Symphonies of oohs and ahhs surround the trough as pēpē encounter critters hiding in the icky and sticky world of gloop.  

In the preschool, you will see passionate storytellers designing their next fairytale, illustrators marveling at their masterpieces that speak joy and adventure, and witches and wizards whispering in collaboration and tweaking their magical and mysterious potions. You will hear echoes of screeching tyres, roaring engines and clanging hammers while the smell of smoking hot glue, draw your attention to the sparkly finishing touches on the supercars. Expert drivers of heavy machinery pave the way for the race to begin, giant rocks and sandbanks are constructed to secure the track. After a long day's work, sand-filled gumboots are shaken out and rumbling tummies are led to the mud kitchen where the master chefs have whipped up a feast.  

The children’s journeys do not end at the Imagination Station as they will be fully equipped for their last departure… where they will take their endless creativity and wonder with them in their school adventures. To prepare, children squeeze every memory into their backpack and unravel their treasure map, where X marks the spot of where to find their valuables such as shoes, lunchboxes and warm clothing. Your child’s treasure chest will be overflowing with riches that they can use to invent robots, raise castles but most importantly to build extraordinary friendships.  

How many children does it take to tame a dragon you ask? You’ll find the answer at BestStart Vardon. Come along and experience it for yourself.
