BestStart Birkdale
About the Business
Welcome to BestStart Birkdale, located at 33 Salisbury Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to grow, learn, and explore.
At BestStart Birkdale, we believe that each child is a unique individual with their own learning journey. Our role is to support and encourage children to take the lead in their learning, while providing them with the necessary resources and opportunities to unlock their full potential. We understand that friendships are powerful, and we encourage our families, teachers, and children to be part of our warm and welcoming BestStart Birkdale community.
We have implemented teaching initiatives to prepare our preschool children for their transition to primary school. These initiatives are incorporated into our everyday practice, encouraging children to develop self-help skills and providing a range of opportunities to extend their independence. We believe that empowering children to take the next step in their learning journey is essential.
Our passionate team of qualified teachers is dedicated to your child's care, learning, and empowering them to achieve their full potential. We have a center cook who provides healthy and nutritious food for your children daily, with a seasonal menu that rotates weekly every 4 weeks. We are currently working towards our Healthy Heart award, ensuring that your child's well-being is a top priority.
Our indoor environments are welcoming and purpose-built to support the learning and development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Each room is equipped with high-quality, age-focused resources designed to spark curiosity and engage young minds. These indoor environments are connected to challenging outdoor areas, encouraging physical outdoor learning experiences for your child.
Our outdoor environments are spacious and feature gorgeous playgrounds that provide a challenging and natural learning environment. These outdoor spaces are designed to build self-confidence while engaging the senses and cultivating curiosity and discovery.
We take pride in the positive feedback we receive from parents, such as the following testimonial from one of our families: "Jaxon has been at the center for over a month now, and I couldn't be happier with how he has settled. This is in large part due to the beautiful staff you have. It was evident to me the other day when I came in for the opening day just how fast he has built a bond with Laura and how great she is with him. The staff here have made it so much easier for me to go back to work than I thought it would be. Laura, Sala, Jess, and Miri are all so wonderful and always ready to have a chat about Jaxon's day. My family and I are extremely grateful for all of you."
We also strive to create a rich learning environment for our tamariki, as they have been learning about prehistoric times, including giant dinosaurs and rumbling volcanoes. This is just one example of the engaging and educational experiences we provide.
We invite you to join our BestStart Birkdale community and discover the endless possibilities for your child's growth and development. Contact us today to learn more and schedule a visit.

Reviews
"AWFUL MANAGEMENT & NOT FLEXIBLE At first I was impressed with their facilities and the teachers. However, my nightmare started to begin after sending my daughter there about 2 weeks. First, I booked lunch for our daughter as she is a fussy eater but she didn't eat their lunch. Therefore I decided to prepare lunch for her and asked the centre if I can remove lunch that booked with the centre but they said NO! And we were charged for lunch meals on the day our daughter was there full day. Second, after we stopped sending our little girl to BestStart Birkdale, they supposed to cancel our debit card but they kept charging us until we noticed when checking bank details. We requested for an explanation as well as refund of incorrectly charging for 3 weeks and 4-week meals fees. They confirmed that the money will be with us on 16th March but until now we HAVE NOT received the payment yet. Last but not least, they require for any changes, parents have to let them know 2 weeks in advance. Most teachers will arrive to the center at 9am. Before 9am there were 2 teachers (1 teacher and centre manager) will look after more than 10 babies and toddlers (from what I witnessed). They distract the little ones by letting them play with a plastic container that filled with water or ice cubes. Most of them were drinking dirty water and eating ice that covered with sand without an adult supervision! Some had heavily running nose but nobody was there to wipe for him. I'm glad our daughter is not with their center anymore!"
"I am blown away with the quality at BestStart Birkdale. The teacher's are experienced , welcoming , nurturing and friendly. My child is excited to attend the Centre everyday and and is always welcomed by our friendly Centre manager Chelsea and the teaching staff. You feel warm and welcomed from when you first walk in to the Centre. The building itself is state of the art and modern as it is a brand new Centre. The resources are all new and age appropriate for each classroom. The food is nutritious and my child loves the food :) The staff are always smiling and are always happy to help with any question's I have."
