HeadStart Childcare

HeadStart is an excellent daycare. Our daughter has attended for the last two years and she is absolutely thriving here.nnWhen you first walk in, the centre may not look as new and flash as others in the area but don’t be fooled as they have so many amazing resources and a wonderful warm environment.nnThe teachers are amazing – kind, caring, engaged and professional. There is very little staff turnover, even the relievers are regulars. This means the children build long-term relationships with teachers.nnAnother great point of difference is the mixed age environment. The children grow and learn from each other, plus you don’t have to worry about the big change of moving from room to room each year. It has been lovely to see our daughter become a tuakana responsible for helping the younger children, this has really helped her confidence.nnAlso Chris and the team go above and beyond organising events and experiences for the children. For example… a campfire for fathers day, grandparents afternoon tea, a mobile farm visit, dance lessons, family picnic, soup making for Matariki, to name just a few.nnWe are very thankful that we chose HeadStart for our daughter and highly recommend it if you are looking for a daycare in the north west area.

Our daughter is currently at Head Start. We are so delighted to see her development as she learns alongside the Head Start community. She becomes so confident, developed positive friendships, and has acquired such a big repertoire of communication skills and an increasing appetite for learning. Most of these developments, I have to say, are largely due to her positive experiences at Head Start. We love Head Start and our daughter looks forward to going to Head Start everyday!

I do not have words to express how grateful I’m to Headstart. Both my boys went to Headstart. They’ve grown so much and learnt so much in the time that they spent here. The teachers are all so kind and warm - they nurture the kids like their own!nThe best and probably unique part about Headstart is that they do not have age-specific classrooms, so the kids learn from each other just like they would grow as part of one big happy family!nI used to think that the teachers who’ve been here since forever are a big part of who they are but i was happily surprised to see the new teachers blend in effortlessly, reflecting the same warmth! It’s got to be something about the culture here and kudos to you Chris and the team for maintaining that so well!nAs a parent, if you send your children here, you can rest assured that they will grow up as cheerful, happy, confident kids!

If you're looking for a place where you can be sure that your little one is going to be safe, enjoy themselves, make friends, learn in a fun way and have amazing teachers, HeadStart is definitely the place. I have no word to express how thankful and glad I'm in have chosen this second home for my older son.nNo doubt or youngest is going there too, as soon as he have 2.

We had to move our 4 year old as we both started working full time and she was only at a kindergarten for half a day previously. When we had to move her we thought we found a great new kindy. Unfortunately our daughter had a horrific experience. We happened to come across headstart as a well established local kindergarten. Chris was accommodating of us once we shared our experience. Our daughter was scarred from her recent move and was skeptical of any other kindergartens. The staff and premises at headstart became real saviours, helping our daughter settle down by being extra accommodating. Within days our daughter forgot about her previous experience and adored her carers at headstart. Everyone is lovely at headstart and I have some great experiences here with my daughter going on various learning trips. If you live in West harbour whenuapai hobsonville or hobsonville point, look no further than this kindy for your tiny tots. Had we known we would ha e had our daughter here from the start. Thanks you headstart. Chris D and Tatiana for the wonderful experience for our daughter. You guys are amazing.
