We moved our girl to BestStart Papatoetoe in Feb2026 - because she is shy and felt out of place at her previous one, let me tell you - teachers here and children have always welcomed our girl gracefully and patiently. We feel so grateful to have our girl at this daycare. The care, support, and genuine kindness from the teachers has made such a difference in their confidence and happiness. Our girl has settled in so beautifully and comes home every day with so many stories to tell. She often tells us how much she loves being at daycare, which is incredibly reassuring as a parent. It’s been so special to see her growing in confidence, building friendships, and feeling comfortable in her environment. We really appreciate the communication and the way the teachers nurture each child at their own pace. You can see the care they put into building relationships and creating a safe, encouraging environment. Thank you BestStart Papatoetoe. Ngā mihi nui to the whole team — we truly appreciate everything you do. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our girl.

Best Start Papatoetoe, they treat everyone like family over there, with a very welcoming receptionist (Natasha) always greets you with a smile, aswell as the teachers in the classroom, my sons vocabulary has increased very well since starting here and that’s all thanks to the teachers, he’s always coming home with new words & songs.. 10/10 recommend bringing your children here 👍🏽
