BestStart Borman Road is located in the heart of the growing Rototuna North community in Hamilton. Our centre provides quality education and care for children aged from birth to 6 years old, extending and supporting their interests and development so they’re ready for the next stage of their learning journey.

Confident Learners for Life

At BestStart Borman Road being open and confident to try and learn from new experiences is more important than the being perfect. We help our children to build their confidence and to challenge themselves. We support them to develop the skills to navigate our rapidly changing world, helping them to be competent and confident learners for life.

Adaptable

We believe that every child is unique, and provide responsive, respectful and unhurried care and education to meet their needs. We have strong connections with our families and home-life which helps to create a sense of belonging and trust.

Building trusting relationship with our children, our families and our diverse community is an integral part of our curriculum. The transition from home to centre life is a smooth and calm process where our teachers work with families to empower and support children to approach new challenges with confidence. It is from a basis of trust that children develop the confidence to challenge themselves, be adaptable, and persist when things don’t quite go their way.

Risk Taking

We believe in teaching our children to enjoy challenges. We encourage children to test their ability and strengths as they explore their boundaries. Valuable learning happens when experiencing trial and error and solving problems. We provide opportunities for children to self-assess the level of their physical, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive development. This ultimately develops a growth mind set.

Self belief

We empower children to believe in themselves and to develop the willingness to keep trying by celebrating challenges as the steps to success. Our children build persistence, perseverance and resilience, strengthening their growth mind set by having a positive attitude to learning.

Independent thinkers

Our flexible learning environment encourages children to see themselves as confident explorers who make connections between information, experiences and concepts. Our teaching team provide opportunities for children to develop their working theories through observation, listening, doing, participation, discussion, and representation.

We provide opportunities for our children to participate with families, communities and cultures and engage with others to learn about and make sense of the world around us. We encourage children to use their existing knowledge and understanding to form their own ideas.

We are surrounded by a wonderful selection of primary schools. Our children are supported and guided to continue their learning journey to school as confident lifelong learners.

Come along and meet our wonderful team, see our beautiful learning environment and discover how we prepare children to build positive attitude towards and love of learning. We can’t wait to see and be part of your child’s learning journey.

Deborah Couchman

Such a caring and supportive home away from home for kids. The teachers and support staff are amazing and go the extra mile to make the whole family feel included. One aspect I especially love about the centre is how they celebrate all cultural special events, and I'm extremely grateful that my children are going to get the opportunity to understand the diverse nature of our community from a young age. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BestStart Borman Road!

Great kindergarten, every teacher is very friendly! The children like it very much. All the toys are new and clean.

Ronita Raj

Has been a great experience and with the low number of children in the room made my girl more confident and was a nice graduation for her when she went to school. Nice place with lots of learning experiences.

Karma Fausett

This daycare is amazing! The staff are friendly and make you always feel welcome. The children are always happy. Lots of indoor/outdoor activities for them to do. 100% recommend.

Jayson McLeish

A fantastic center with dedicated and passionate staff. Integrated outdoor areas with lots of safe and fun learning opportunities. A great community asset with visits to local retirement centers and other field trips + themed days and activities through out the year. Storypark is also a great way to keep up to date with how your child is going and what they get up to during their days at the center.

BestStart Borman is the ABSOLUTE best centre in Rototuna. Very family orientated and have each child's best interest at heart. So happy our paths have crossed. My kids have attended 4 kindys and this centre is by far the best.

Minda

We have loved sending our son to Borman and sad to leave you all behind as he is moving to schol. Friendly staff, who goes above and beyond to cater for everyone, will recommend to anyone anytime.

My daughter loves it here, we moved from a bigger centre to Borman Road and it's such a lovely little centre with such a family vibe to it.

Emma Streeter

The staff are amazing! They really do feel like family. Also I do shift work which is a pain when trying to book regular daycare but BestStart Borman have been so accomodating".

Monica Young

Very friendly and accommodating. Lots of little celebrations to make it fun. Music class, lunch box day. Very healthy food. Very flexible with hours. Lovely people.

Parent

The overall experience has been fantastic. With the help of the amazing teachers, my son settled in well within 2 weeks of starting at the centre. Since then he has just flourished. His speech and vocabulary has improved. He is socialising with other children at the centre and learning how to share. The teachers are friendly, attentive and supportive in all aspects of my child's learning experience at the centre. My husband and I find the team approachable and as a result of this we have found that any concerns we have had were handled thoroughly and followed up with immediate feedback.

Parent

BestStart Borman Rd has been the best thing for my 4 year old and 9 month old. I have seen so much growth in the past 2 years with my eldest daughter. She has gained confidence and has been consistently encouraged to explore and expand on her interests. She surprises me every day with something new she has learned. My youngest daughter gets super excited for 'school' every morning. The team at BestStart Borman Rd have been amazing when it comes to feedback. Communication is so important to them and I feel happy knowing that my girls are in a safe space where they are treated as individuals and cared for. I can't praise them enough for all of their hard work and dedication to providing the best, in all aspects, for my girls. They continually exceed my expectations.

Parent

Amazing staff who really care about kids and families! Also support lots of extra events to put smile on faces of lots of little people.
