I don’t have a child at this childcare. But I was spending some time outside the facility repairing a flat tyre today when I heard an educator strongly raise her voice and almost start to lose it with a kid. Very shocking because I do know what a good childcare looks and sounds like.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Goodstart Wantirna. The educators are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s development. As a parent, it’s such a relief knowing my child is in safe and caring hands.

Not a good start for your kid. Only money making business. Doesn’t care about your kid.

So impressed with the whole team at Goodstart Wantirna! My son has started in the nursery 1 and instantly connected with the educators, couldn’t recommend more! So impressed with the effort everyone has gone to, to get to know my son as well as checking in with myself and my husband. We have been supported the whole way! I know my son is in great care each day!

Goodstart Wantirna is a wonderful childcare! Initially tentative of a franchise but gosh was I wrong; in fact I think there are only positives (e.g. staff pool, maintenance, strong values & beliefs). We have 3 little ones there, and the learning opportunities have been endless. The social skills, language skills, play skills amongst being part of a wonderfully positive culture have been so beneficial for our family. We have even noticed there are so many staff members who have been there for over a decade and more, outlining that they look after their staff so well! Clearly run by a strong director who has created the perfect place for our future generations to thrive & prosper. I would recommend if you live in the area, take a tour! I’m so thankful we did…!

Personally, we cannot speak higher of the team here at Goodstart Wantirna. Their support, care and communication is incredible. We have gone from the babies room all the way through to 4yr old kinder. Thanks for your assistance in preparing our little man for the world of big boy school. Keep up the great work!!

A warm, clean, safe and welcoming environment. The staff are nurturing and professional. I quickly felt like part of the community. The communication is excellent- I always feel informed and included. I would recommend highly to a friend.

My little boy started at Goodstart Wantirna in mid March in Nursery 1. All the educators are so warm, friendly, informative, and supportive. I am so happy that my little boy feels safe, happy and connected to them. Thankyou for caring so deeply for our children

We are so incredibly grateful for the care and support that Goodstart Wantirna has provided for our little family. From the very first day we joined, the educators, leaders, and director have been incredibly welcoming and nurturing. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and their families, and they go above and beyond to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment. Sending your child off to be cared for by someone else is never easy, but the team made the transition so much smoother for us. They didn’t treat us as just another family walking through the door—they took the time to get to know our son, understand both his and our needs, and consistently reassured us—and showed us—that he was in the best hands. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do. You’ve made such a positive impact on our lives, and we feel truly lucky to be part of this wonderful community.
