A purpose-built early childhood centre at 11 Sir William Pickering Drive in Burnside, Christchurch, part of the BestStart group. The centre says relationships sit at the heart of its work, with older and younger children learning together through tuakana teina and ako. The outdoor spaces include big trees, sheltered sandpits, swings and bike tracks. Children aged three to five can have 20 free hours, and WINZ subsidies are available where needed. Families can book a visit through the website, choosing a preferred time between 9 am and 3 pm. One family who has been there for three years calls it a hidden gem, and praises the outdoor spaces and the low staff turnover. The centre is listed among the award-winning BestStart centres.
