As Parents from the very first day, we felt truly welcomed by the wonderful team at BestStart Newton. The entire team made the transition smooth and comforting, always showing kindness, attentiveness, and genuine affection toward our little one. It’s been amazing to watch our child thrive in such a positive environment, growing in confidence, developing social skills, and becoming more engaged every day. We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication the team at BestStart Newton brings. It's clear they put their hearts into what they do.

We are very happy with BestStart Newton. The areas are nice and spacious and activities and environment are well suited to the different age groups. We like that they place a lot of emphasis on fun educational activities and have a good ready-for-school program. They also include all meals including breakfast in their fees, which is really convenient for us busy working parents. Our little ones are all thriving there. Centre manager Nita goes above and beyond to meet our requests and updates us regularly on our children’s progress. One thing to note is that shoes are not required to be removed in the room for under 2s, so the floor does get dirty sometimes. Overall great and highly recommend!

As a mother, I couldn't be happier with the care and education my daughter receives at BestStart Newton. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm and friendly staff. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and attentive, always ensuring my daughter feels safe, engaged, and excited to learn. The learning environment is fantastic—filled with creativity, exploration, and hands-on activities that help my daughter develop both socially and academically. I love how they incorporate NZ’s Early Childhood Curriculum, ensuring a well-rounded approach to learning. Another thing I truly appreciate is the strong communication between the teachers and parents. I receive regular updates on my daughter’s progress, activities, and even little moments that brighten my day. It’s reassuring to know she is in such a caring and stimulating environment. Overall, I highly recommend BestStart Newton to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and high-quality early childhood education center. My daughter absolutely loves it here, and I can see how much she is growing and thriving every day!

My son David enjoys BestStart. When I asked him about his best friend in School, he said one of his teacher's name. The teachers and staff are awesome. You have a wonderful facility where dropping and picking up kids are safe and convenient.

My son started attending from age 7 months and is now nearly 3. He is learning and developing so quickly and naturally with BestStart - they take a learning through play approach and he loves every day there.The teachers are friendly and professional, the communication from the centre is excellent, and I love the progress reports I receive. The hours they're open (7.30am-6pm) are perfect for a single working mum to be able to do a 40 hour work week. Stephanie (FOH) is lovely, knows each child in the centre, and give you a fantastic introduction to the centre. I highly recommend BestStart Newton!
