Leading with the Heart

Our children at BestStart Napier Central feel loved, respected and supported to be all they can be.


Together with parents and whanau, we lay the foundation for our children to grow into kind, considerate, respectful and generally amazing people that the world needs. 

We value our centre community and encourage children to make meaningful connections with people, places and things. This helps them to develop an understanding of the wider world and an appreciation of the different things everyone has to offer and of how unique we all are.

We are passionate about providing a programme that has a strong lens on sustainability. Our strong focus on sustainability and care for the environment is emphasised through opportunities for growing fruit, herbs and vegetables, nurturing gardens, caring for play spaces, and observing the natural world. This approach integrates sustainability into daily routines and experiences, connecting tamariki with nature and promoting future Eco warriors. 

We have beautiful, well-resourced indoor environments and spacious outdoor areas with numerous gardens for children to explore and interact with the natural world around them.

Kind words from parents

"BestStart Napier Central has allowed my daughter to explore in a safe loving environment. She has developed some great relationships with all the teachers here, which I though would be a issue at the start. She has become more confident and can play on her own at home now. Her eating has come forward leaps and bounds which is credit to how the teachers do things while she is there."

"BestStart Napier Central has gone above and beyond with my whānau. Every morning we are greeted and treated like family. My son is so happy to attend each morning. The teachers are in tune with each child and know how to cater to the individual needs of the child. Cannot recommend a better centre. As a teacher myself, I have high expectations of care, and Best Start has ticked all my boxes and more. Thanks, BestStart Napier Central."
