About BestStart Peachgrove

BestStart Peachgrove (formerly First Steps Peachgrove) offers a warm and caring environment, where our children are encouraged and supported to be independent and imaginative. We offer a child-initiated learning programme with amazing support from a group of passionate Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers.

We are a lovely smaller centre that is licensed for 36 children. We believe this allows for close relationships between staff, tāmariki and parents/whānau. We have two rooms within our centre and under twos area and an over twos room. Here at BestStart Peachgrove, we provide healthy morning and afternoon teas.

Te Raa – Nursery In our Te Raa we have a licence for 10 under two-year-olds which makes this room nice and cosy and allows us to form strong bonds with our littlest pepe.  We welcome tamariki from three months to two years of age.  We encourage self-managing with our older toddlers and support our younger pepe in their individual routines. We also supply nappies and cows milk for our under two year olds.

Te Marama – Preschool We welcome tamariki from the ages from two years to 5 years of age.  In the Te Marama room we encourage and aim to develop self-managing skills in all of our tamariki. We have flexibility within our daily programme to give children a sense of autonomy and allow them to make their own choice’s.  Our preschool room has a focus on preparing children for the school environment through play-based learning. We aim for weekly walks to our local reserve to explore the forest and have a run in the park, along with excursions out and about within our community.

Our centre has very passionate teachers, and this comes through in the programme we provide and the learning environment we offer. Both of our rooms have there own outdoor environments which are very generous in size.

Our centre vision To have an environment where strong whanau and community relationships are visible within the centre, where all cultures and identities are celebrated and children are encouraged and supported to be life long learners.

Our Philosophy 

Whakawhirinaki - Trust  We believe in making strong connections and fostering whanaungatanga from day one. We believe that through respectful, loving and trusting relationships children feel safe and secure.

Takaro – Playfulness We believe in the power of laughter. We aim to never take ourselves too seriously and live for moments where we can have fun and let out our playful side.

Whakaute - Respect  We believe in respectful practice and acknowledge the importance of knowing the “whole child”

Manaakitanga - Kindness We have a strong emphasis of Manaakitanga within our practices. We strive to enhance each others mana by celebrating their successes. We believe kindness is a life long virtue and we rise by lifting others up. 

We would love to meet you and show your around our centre so you get a feel for everything we believe and focus on. Pop in anytime or give us a call to arrange a visit.
