We love Best Start Howick! Our son transitioned from another centre nearly a year ago (at 2 years old), which came with some apprehension, but from literally day one he has been SO happy there. The outdoor space is excellent, plenty of room and play options. The indoor space is well appointed and functions well for play, learning and meal times. The staff are all wonderful and have genuine connections with all the children. We are frequently updated (via Storypark) with all the fun activities they participate in and there are lots of opportunities to celebrate different cultural holidays, language weeks etc. We have our second child starting in the under 2s room soon and know she will be well taken care of and thrive there also.

I am so grateful that I found Beststart Howick for my toddler. Such an amazing team from the amazing teachers to administration - everything runs smoothly and I am always supported. My son has been taught so much about social environments as well as his learning. The kids there are great as well! Really fun environment, large outdoor area for all the kids to share, as well as inside. The Centre eased my worries, always happy to provide feedback and working together with them has eased my own journey into raising a spectrum toddler.
