BestStart Somerfield Kindy  

BestStart Somerfield Kindy (formerly ABC Somerfield) is a small, intimate early learning centre situated in the quiet suburb of Somerfield. We cater for 30 children aged 2 to 5 years old and offer a range of morning, afternoon, school day and full day sessions to suit the needs of your family.

We boast a huge backyard with a large sandpit, bike track, vegetable garden and a range of interchangeable climbing equipment to challenge your child to take risks within a safe environment.  Our cosy warm villa is set out in a way that encourages pockets of learning and discovery or the choice to join in on larger group activities.  We have a huge range of resources available to suit the current needs of the children and regularly refresh the environment to keep up with the children’s changing interests.

Everything we do links back to our vision “Whangaia ka tupu, ka puawai | That which is nurtured, blossoms and grows” and is supported by our core values of:

• Ako | Learning
• Manakitanga | Kindness and Caring
• Takaro | Play
• Kaitiakitanga | Environment
• Whanaungatanga | Relationships

Our small team of qualified and registered teachers are in tune with current education trends and use their experience and expertise to deliver individual learning programmes based around learning aspirations created by families, children, and what the teachers have observed.

Our 4-5 year olds are involved in our Be School Ready initiative to support their transition to school and we offer termly visits to Somerfield School for the oldest children at our early learning centre.  

Come and visit us any time to see if we would be the right place for your family – no appointments necessary.
