BestStart Wigram  

BestStart Wigram is a specially designed childcare complex with two purpose-built centres located near Hornby in the Wigram Skies subdivision providing quality early childhood education and child care. Our complex gives families options for their child's education where they can choose between our small, intimate, homelike building or our spacious building with a large outdoor environment. 

Our centre provides children with the opportunity to follow their own interests, be creative and to have fun. We appreciate the diversity that each child brings into our centre and ensure our programme supports the cultural beliefs of all our families.

Our learning rooms - We have 7 classrooms across our two buildings allowing us to provide age-specific challenges and cater for more individualised learning and care programmes as children grow and develop.

Infants and toddlers are supported by a nurturing teachers who knows each child and their routine well. These teachers work in partnership with parents to ensure their individual routines and requirements are supported in a familiar and caring approach, giving the child the security of a familiar face everyday.

Our programme for our older recognises the importance of fostering children’s natural ability to be inquisitive. Teachers fully support children to actively explore and learn, preparing them for their journey to primary school. We have a reciprocal relationship with Wigram School where we go on regular excursions to familiarise our older children with the environment and have the new entrant teachers visit them here in our centre.

Our teaching team - We have a team of experienced and qualified teachers who are skilled at working alongside your child to support and enhance their learning. Our teaching team is consistent and the staff turnover is low which means the children experience stability and the same familiar faces everyday. We also have Chinese teachers who support our children and families that use English as a second language.

Session options - We have a range of sessions available that provide families with varying options to work around individual commitments and lifestyles.

Tahi Building

Our environment - Children are fortunate to experience a large outdoor environment. The space allows our teachers to ensure that children are regularly challenged physically and gain good control over their bodies. Our interchangeable outdoor equipment provides children with a variety and enables them to make decisions about their learning.

Rua Building

Our environment -  Our Rua Building has a lovely, homely feel due to our small numbers and intimate environment. Children get to develop in a space that models a home-like environment, building their confidence and letting them shine with a small group of their peers.
