The best preschool in Christchurch! My two boys have been going to BestStart Parkside for over 2 & 1/2 years now and every single teacher has been nothing but amazing! Would recommend this preschool to everyone. They are so welcoming and really care about your children!

My three youngest kids attended Best start parkside and I couldn’t have been happier with this team. The center is run by Jackie, who is not only professional but is kind, empathetic and went above and beyond to support us as a whanau. The staff are absolutely amazing!! I could confidently go to my course and do anything knowing my kids were safe and well taken care of. Thank you to the team for the outstanding services provided. A special shout out to Shirele,Lisa , swazi and vivi who are phenomenal teachers, who have helped my kids thrive and who my kids absolutely love! Five stars for sure! :-)

The nursery teachers give so much love and care to the babies. They go beyond to make sure they feel loved and secure which is lovely. The preschool teachers have so much energy and celebrate all holidays for so many cultures. I love my children learning so much about the world in such a kind and enthusiastic way. It also makes me feel great that they all have a proper hot lunch every day, especially through winter.
