BestStart Rongotai

Feb 11th, 2023

Our child started with Beststart Rongotai 3 weeks ago and we are overwhelmed by the care and support the teachers have shown our child. Our son has moderate to severe developmental delay due to a genetic syndrome. It has been amazing to see him adapt and be accepted into his new daycare. He is an active member of his peer group, and teachers enable him to participate in all activities. Unfortunately his previous daycare, where he had been for 3 years was unable to carry on his care, however with such wonderful teachers who can adapt to meet the needs of children with additional needs we feel we've made a grate choice.

Our wee daughter has recently finished her 2 years at Best Start Rongotai and moved onto Miramar Central Primary School. I cant speak highly enough of the wonderful experience she has had, and in turn, us as parents. We had initially visited another ECE and had our pretty much made up our minds to send her there. For reference we decided to visit Best Start Rongotai with the thought this would help cement our decision. However it didnt! Upon visiting Best Start Rongotai we were given an amazing and personal tour of and run down of the centre including daily schedules, menus provided by the centre, previous and proposed community field trips, and the vision of the centre. We were blown away. What struck us most was the warm, happy family atmosphere. The centre is full of the childrens arts and crafts and has a family tree with photos of each of the childrens families, giving a connection for not only the kids but their families to the centre. A good ratio of teachers/care givers to children with a roll under 30. Perfect for our little girl who tended to be on the shyer side. She has flourished in the environment, made a heap of friends and grown in confidence markedly. Sometimes you just get a feel for things and Im glad we followed our instincts and enrolled her. Never doubted our decision once. She was genuinely cared for, made to feel safe and confident and as a parent of an under 5 y/o we couldnt have asked for more. A great family community feel within the centre which is constructed from the top down. I have many a time, and wouldnt hesitate again to recommend Best Start Rongotai to any parents looking for an ECE to send their precious child. Thank you to the team at Best Start for making this first step in our wee girls life such a positive and nurturing one!
