Let us keep close together not far apart

At BestStart Willowpark Road we go above and beyond to ensure our tamariki and whānau enjoy a welcoming experience from the very beginning of their journey with us.


We believe in enrolling the whole whanau and we cater transition programmes to suit individual needs. Relationships are the heart of our centre life. We work in partnership with whānau to ensure that tamariki reach their full potential during their time with us. We value the importance of ngā whakawhanaungatanga – reciprocal and responsive relationships and believe that tamariki learn best in an environment where warm, respectful relationships are established and nurtured.

Tamariki at Willowpark Road experience an environment that allows them freedom to explore and learn in their own unique ways. We believe in empowering tamariki to become leaders in their own learning. Kaiako acknowledge and extend children’s interests and developing working theories through intentional provocations and teaching strategies. We value Ako and recognise the importance of tuakana /teina relationships.

Kind words from parents

"Our daughter loves coming to daycare and all her teachers are so welcoming and engaging. She always comes home with a new song to sing or story to tell about what she is doing at daycare."
Parent
"We started our daughter at BestStart Willowpark Rd last year and are absolutely thrilled with how everything with our daughter is going. I love all the initiatives the daycare have on offer, some including a music morning in the Pukeko room and a daycare community pataka kai. The communication from the teachers and staff has been excellent. I would highly recommend BestStart Willowpark to other parents."
Parent
"My daughter not only enjoys the company and environment of being at BestStart Willowpark but also enjoys learning new things and bringing her experiences and knowledge home with her."
