"Staff at Goodstart Early Learning Narre Warren - Pound Road North are great. They are very caring, friendly, understanding, kind and professional. The centre is clean and plenty of space for kids to play around. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area who is looking for a childcare centre for their kids."
"A big thank you to each and every one of your wonderful educators here as I know they take the best care of my girls. We love their Auslan program taught by Emma with songs, books, the alphabet, animals, colours and more. Sometimes they do a yoga program too with Shifali (who is the best 4 year old Kinder teacher), which the kids also really enjoy. Kanwal and Caitlyn are my girls 3 year old Kinder teachers, and the kids love them because they ensure that they have different daily activities inside and outside, challenging and teaching the kids at the same time without them even knowing it. Yummy food is cooked fresh onsite daily by the wonderful Lesley (or Caitlyn). Elsee is fantastic and is the Educational Leader. They even have a male educator Matthew who is wonderful with the kids. There is a great sense of teamwork there thanks to Carly the centre director. They are always very accomodating when I need extra days booked. They are also one of the few centres that offer vacation care for primary school aged children during the school holidays, which is very valuable these days! We have too many favourite staff to mention them all by name, however, I trust all of the educators there to look after my girls. They all made us feel very welcome from the start. I love that I always see them interacting with the kids no matter what time I turn up for drop off or pick up. I would highly recommend this childcare center. Have a tour, and see for yourself :)"
"This goodstart is excellent. Not a bad staff member among them. They are all always so happy. The place is spotless clean. There's heaps for the kids to do and its very developmental as well as good old fashioned fun. Very nutritious food that kids will actually eat. They are great at sharing your childs day with you. I really cant imagine a childcare that could do better"
