BestStart Pharazyn Kindy

Wouldn’t you like to be part of BestStart Pharazyn Street Kindy (formerly Community Kindy Melling) and all we have to offer? Enjoying our natural environment that fosters the great Kiwi spirit of build it, fix it, grow-it re-cycle it and learn with laughter and fun along the way?

We are situated next to the Melling Train Station in Lower Hutt, meaning that it is convenient for you to drop off or pick up your child if commuting further afield.

Our centre is open from 8am to 5pm, 52 weeks of the year, only closing for public holidays. This means that we are open throughout the school holidays and the Christmas break to cater for families who still wish for their children to attend over these periods. As well as providing full time bookings, we also offer a range of different sessions to meet the differing needs of families in our community.

We provide a variety of learning experiences that support and extend the curiosity of children…….. we believe children learn while they play alongside each other and with the support and encouragement of a passionate teaching team. Come and visit us sometime soon to see for yourself what a special place BestStart Pharazyn Street Kindy is.
