BestStart Shelly Bay Road

Welcome to BestStart Shelly Bay Road, located at 27 Shelly Bay Road, Beachlands, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children of all ages.

Our indoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to support the learning and development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Each room is equipped with high-quality resources that are specifically chosen to spark curiosity and engage young minds.

Our expansive outdoor area offers children the opportunity to challenge themselves on playground equipment, promoting independence and self-confidence. We believe in the importance of outdoor play and encourage children to explore and interact with nature.

At BestStart Shelly Bay Road, we understand the significance of nutrition in a child's development. That's why we provide healthy and nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, ensuring that your child receives the nourishment they need.

We are proud to offer BestStart's Be School Ready initiative for our preschool children. This program is incorporated into our everyday practice and focuses on developing self-help skills and fostering independence, preparing them for the next step in their learning journey.

To keep you involved in your child's learning journey, we communicate with you through one-on-one conversations and our online learning portfolios on Storypark. This allows you to stay up-to-date with their activities, view photos, and provide feedback.

We are honored to have been recognized by Reader's Digest readers, who awarded us the Gold Quality Service award. This recognition reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care and education.
