As you step in the door at Beststart Welcome Bay, you will feel strong connections, a sense of belonging and warm welcoming interactions.

Our team are committed to building meaningful relationships which are genuine, trusting and respectful. We have created an environment that values whanaungatanga, where collaboration and open and honest communication drive our daily practice. Staff interact with parents, whanau and the wider community to create learning opportunities that link to individual aspirations and values. Our strong family connections support us to focus on the child as an individual, understanding each and every one on a deeper level and creating an environment which is a home away from home.

We have a beautiful centre next to the estuary in Welcome Bay which provides a nature feel to the environment and a source of learning for all. The children are fascinated by the range of birds and insects that appear from the bush allowing for lots of in-depth discussions and questions about the natural world around us. Our centre provides nutritious morning and afternoon teas as well as lunch every day and can cater to any dietary requirements. We promote and encourage good self-care through healthy eating practices and physical activity.
