We have had such a positive experience with BestStart Willowpark Road for our son. From the very beginning, the kaiako and leadership team have shown genuine care, understanding, and commitment to both our child and our whānau. During a time of transition for our family, when I moved centres to take on a leadership role, the team were incredibly supportive. They made the change feel smooth and reassuring, not only for our son but for us as a family, which meant so much during a busy and emotional period. The support around our son’s hearing needs has been outstanding. The kaiako are attentive, proactive, and communicate openly, always ensuring his individual needs are understood and supported. It is clear they truly see him as an individual and want him to thrive. What we value most is the way BestStart Willowpark Road acknowledges and respects our whānau values and beliefs. The inclusive, respectful environment and strong sense of connection reflect a genuine commitment to partnership with families. We are incredibly grateful for the care, support, and aroha shown every day and highly recommend BestStart Willowpark Road to any whānau looking for a nurturing and supportive early learning environment.
