I love this kura for my two girls who have been attending from 2024 till now. They are considerate, welcoming & most of lovely to all those children & parents that come through their centre. Its great to see I have a Best Start like them in my community.

The BestStart team in Wattle Downs are the absolute best! They update me on my daughter and what she done/ate throughout the day. They voice their concerns with me as soon as something comes up with her. Before I had enrolled my daughter I was quite nervous because she was quite young. But the staff at her daycare are amazing! The nervousness I felt before she started has disappeared. They not only enjoy her presence but they’re also teaching her things! The best decision I made was enrolling her into BestStart Wattle Downs so I could study full time.

The kaiako at BestStart Wattle Downs have been absolutely amazing in helping my daughter settle into daycare. As one of the younger children who is still crawling, they created a safe, nurturing environment where she could learn, grow, and thrive. Their genuine love and care for the children is so evident, and the communication from the team has been great. The centre is also well-equipped with resources that support every stage of development. I couldn’t be happier with the support and care my daughter has received. I also love how they celebrate all the different language weeks and events throughout the year celebrating our diverse culture 😊
