BestStart Styx Mill

Welcome to BestStart Styx Mill, a leading establishment and point of interest in Christchurch, New Zealand. Located at 109 Northwood Boulevard, our institution offers a nurturing and supportive environment for children of all ages.

In our Kākano room, we cater to children from 3 months to 2 years old. Here, your infant or toddler will have access to a range of resources and support to develop independence, physical skills, and positive interactions with others. Our dedicated team of teachers ensures that routines are at the heart of the room, helping children strengthen their self-help skills.

For children aged 2 to 3.5 years, our Tipu Room focuses on strengthening their independence while supporting their individual interests and educational needs. Our flexible program includes regular experiences in music, art, group times, and story times, providing a well-rounded learning experience. Our teachers go above and beyond to not only care for your child but also to support their development and learning.

In our Pihinga Room, catering to children aged 3.5 to 6 years old, we celebrate each child's learning journey. Our program is shaped by the interests and curiosity of the children, ensuring their adventure in learning is both enjoyable and educational. We work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition to school, supported by our Before School Ready initiative.

At BestStart Styx Mill, we take pride in the positive impact we have on children's lives. We have received heartfelt appreciation from parents, expressing how their children have grown in strength, resilience, and independence under our care. Our dedicated teachers and staff create a warm and welcoming environment, where children have fun, make friends, and learn valuable life skills.

We actively participate in community events, such as the Pink Shirt Day Appeal, to promote kindness and stand up against bullying. We believe that water play is essential for sensory development and encourage children's natural curiosity about the world around them.

We are truly grateful for the trust parents have placed in us to care for their children. BestStart Styx Mill is a magical place filled with joy and laughter, and we are sad to see families leave. We cherish the relationships we have built with our parents and children and look forward to witnessing their growth and development in our care.
