kind words from our parents

Parent

I have recommended this wonderful and extraordinary team to everyone that I have meet who is looking for infant, toddler and preschool care! The team is so helpful, friendly and understanding. I am so grateful for the short time that my daughter was there, the staff help her blossom and become school ready, with her development of her writing, numeracy and literacy skills dramatically increasing. My son is thriving with the connection to teachers and enjoying the social environment of making friends, showing caring and compassion in a warm and loving atmosphere. Discovering new and exciting things from festivals to farm animals, dinosaurs to nature exploring. Highly recommend!

Nicole Soneja

Been here with both of my kids for over the past five years and we have never had any issues. My kids are always happy and are thriving really well! Highly recommend them!

Paula-Mae and staff are always on top of their work ethics. Love the vibe and environment at this center

Parent

The best decision ever for our tamariki and whanau. There is seriously no better standard then that of Beststart Wolverton! We knew we had credit but we wanted to retain it with the centre in the event we had to return by some unforeseen circumstances. We did not leave by want it was absolutely the most reluctant thing ever. If we had the choice as you know our big boy would not have commenced school he would have remained there. Most grateful to you the staff and the service rendered our tamariki and whanau it was truly exceptional. Nā mātou Te whanau Emery.

Parent

My son loves it here and has so from day 1. The teachers have made him feel so comfortable and welcome so much so that he misses his teachers every weekend! BestStart Wolverton is a great centre!

Parent

If I could rate our beautiful kindy with a 100, I would. This kindy has helped me in so many ways. Helping me in my parenting journey for our next generation. They’re always there to help me and my babies for any reason even outside of being teachers. I know my babies are safe and they are more than just a daycare we are a part of a family! Thank you Paula, our 2 beautiful reception staff Pauline & Pauline and the rest of the BestStart whanau. Your awhi and aroha never goes unnoticed.
