“Our family has had such a positive experience at BestStart Opihi. From the moment we arrived, the team was incredibly welcoming and helped ease any nerves we had. The teachers are so friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. It’s been wonderful to see how much our child enjoys being there — she always comes home happy, and it’s clear she feels safe and supported. The teachers are truly amazing, loving, and attentive, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our son is so well looked after. We really value the strong sense of community and connection the centre creates with families.”

Since moving my twins from one daycare to another I have been welcomed and stood by every step of the way. I know exactly what happened during the school day and what is going on with my twins. There is lots of love and passion when I drop of my kids as I see them wanting to go to their teachers with giggles and open arms.
