Levi has been going to Goodstart Blackburn South for over a year, and we’ve always been so happy here.<br>A friend recently convinced me to try a daycare nearby—gushing about their flashier resources, huge center, and shiny new facilities. So, I thought why not, and decided to transfer him.<br>But right after the orientation, I knew immediately we belonged back at Goodstart. The contrast was so clear! What makes Goodstart special isn't just the space, it’s the heart of the educators. The educators and management here genuinely put the kids first, and you can feel how much love and care they pour into their work every single day.<br>So grateful to the whole team—thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Levi!

We visited Good Start Blackburn South today and left feeling so reassured. From the moment we walked in, Stacey and all the educators were incredibly warm and welcoming. We came in feeling quite nervous, being new parents, but the whole team made us feel so comfortable straight away. What really touched us was watching our daughter’s reaction she was smiling at the educators within minutes. It says a lot when a little one responds that openly to new faces, and it put our minds completely at ease. Thank you to Stacey and the whole team for such a genuine, caring welcome. We’re so happy we found this center.

We have been at the centre for nearly a month after moving house & daycare centres, and have been really impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the communication between the centre & parents! Thank you so much for helping our children feel that they belong and that they matter. We are so lucky to have found you!

My child has been enrolled at Goodstart Blackburn South since last year. The staff are wonderful, and the carers are very easy to communicate with and clearly know what they are doing. I receive lots of verbal updates about my child’s day, and I always see big smiles when I pick my child up. Highly recommended!

My son was having difficulty with his previous daycare so we moved him to Goodstart BS and we are so glad we did because he loves going to daycare now, thanks to all of the caring educators and staff particularly Dilini, Monika, Wai Tai, Tina, Stacey (I could go on...)

I had the wonderful opportunity to complete my placement at Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn South, and I can honestly say it was a life-changing experience. I knocked on many centers' gates just to get that one chance to prove my worth, and this center truly opened its doors to me. From the very start, I felt respected, valued, and welcomed. Stacey (center director) is very knowledgeable and humble; her guidance really makes the center's environment positive and professional. Every educator who works there possesses extensive knowledge, is highly passionate, and loves what they do. The amount of knowledge about children I received from my mentors Christy and Dilini, I am sure I would never acquire this type of knowledge from textbooks. They taught me with care and made me feel so comfortable every time. It feels like I am growing with the children. I would also like to appreciate Ruvini (Assistant Director). She is very approachable and always guided me during my placements. Their concern and dedication about the children's safety are remarkable. The way they supervised allergies, monitoring children during mealtime, was exceptional. The center is immaculate, beautifully designed, and has a wide range of equipment that supports children's physical and mental growth. This center changed my outlook and deepened my drive for early childhood education. Thank you very much, GoodStart, for having me. Thank you for giving me a chance to learn and grow from you.

Our son has been here for a few weeks now and we're so grateful that he's at this centre. The building is structured like a home, and the staff welcomed him like he was really was at home. Spending some time watching how each kid is both individually nurtured, and uplifted as a member of a wider group, it's clear that the staff are there for the love of the kids. We have had hiccups with our son communicating by lashing out, but the staff have been so reassuring, and have evidently had years and years of experience dealing with this sort of thing. They let us know right away and have been extremely proactive in taking steps to support both our kid and the other kids around him (and all the parents too), seeing that it's difficult for everyone involved. Knowing through difficult situations that they are transparent and supportive makes all the difference.

Such a beautiful and pretty clean childcare, I can tell that they take the hygiene in the centre really seriously. On top of that, the staffs are super friendly and very helpful, full of knowledge regarding on the early learning education. I can guarantee that children will learn a lot from this centre as they have plenty of resources and materials to help children learn, and I think they always invested all of the money back into developing children learning and well-being as this is a non-profit organisation. Highly recommended.

Our son attended Goodstart Blackburn south back in 2022 for 3yo kinder and we are so thankful to have found it. From the initial inquiry and connection with the centre director Stacey, we knew we would feel safe leaving our boy there. Stacey was so caring, bubbly and committed to looking after and educating the kids. Knowing that she has just celebrated 20 yrs at this centre, and seeing the longevity of the many staff there demonstrates that there is a healthy culture here, and staff have been well looked after. We know that that committed and engaged staff will be able to provide the best care for our kids. We had previously toured a number of other centres in the area that felt more like a business, but as soon as we stepped into Goodstart we immediately felt at home. My son has made some beautiful life-long friends from this centre (and so have we as parents!) and he still recalls some fun memories he has had. Thank you Stacey and team! I definitely recommend sending your children here.

I think it’s one of the best correct decisions I’ve ever made in the last year. My little boy settled very quickly and happy to attend each day. Educator and staff are very helpful and caring. Big shout out to good start blackburn south team, thanks for being so supportive and professional:)
