We've had either one or both our two youngest attending for the last few years and, as many others have said, I could not recommend this centre highly enough.<br><br>The staff have all been exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to create a safe, warm, and nurturing environment for the kids.<br><br>The rooms and outdoor areas are spacious and well thought out, with a good mix of communal areas and quieter spaces – suited for both the outgoing and more introverted kiddos.<br><br>The variety and quality of the food offered on the menus is actually quite impressive, and the kids always seem to love it. And there always seems to be a good amount of fresh fruit being served for snacks too! Hygiene standards are always on point (both food handling and the environment itself).<br><br>Having a neurodiverse child who typically would be quiet and reserved in these environments, it has been absolutely phenomenal to see the effort the entire team have put in to support him him to flourish with his language skills, his confidence, and his self-advocacy. I was previously concerned that him being quiet and placid (masking being overstimulated and anxious) would mean staff accept him as just being 'easy to manage'. But no, they genuinely make the effort to support the 'real' version of himself shine through, even though it is more effort for them.<br><br>You can tell everyone is there for the same purpose – supporting these little humans to the best of their ability, and makes it so much easier to drop off the kids knowing their best interests will truly be taken care of. So much love and appreciation for this centre and its staff!<br><br>PS: Special shout out for Pam in the office for taking the time out each morning we are there to greet the kids and let them practice their conversational skills with you, and for everything else you do to support our family! You're an absolute legend.

Our kids have been going here for a few years now, and we love it here! The teachers always provide such a safe, warm and caring environment and build such great connections with the kids. As outdoor kids, this centre has been thought out with a great outdoor area to always keep them busy, even on rainy days. There is always so much thought and effort that gets put into events/celebrations throughout the year which creates such a nice environment for the whole family. Thanks goodstart!

Such a wonderful, caring centre. The educators are amazing, and my son is always happy and well cared for. We’re so happy with the love and support he receives here. Thank you!

Ive had my first child attend this centre from 4months until kinder and he loved it there. The staff were so wonderful when i had my second child i didn't hesitate sending them there. They always make us feel welcome and the kids comfortable so much my second ended up picking up and extra day because he loved being there so much.

I've been sending my daughter to this daycare since she was one, and couldn't be happier with the care she's received. It's clear they provide a nurturing and stimulating environment and she's always excited to see her teachers and friends. I've seen so much growth and development in her during her time here. Highly recommend!

We've been going to Goodstart Rowville (Stud Road) for over a year now, and it's been a pleasure every step of the way. The staff are very accommodating and there has been lots of support given especially when moving up to new rooms. At first, our daughter didn't like being left at daycare, but now she looks forward to it and is always talking about her daycare friends.

I 100% recommend Goodstart Early Learning Centre ( Stud Rd ) Rowville. It’s like a home away from home , for my children. The director, educators , office staff, ladies in the kitchen are exceptional. The play based curriculum, the opportunity to learn about all cultures, is amazing !!!!. The attention to every childs individuality and needs is taken into account on a daily basis. The educators are loving, caring and supportive not just for the children but for the whole family. The school preparation in the kinder room , makes transitioning to school that much easier. Make sure to check out the menu , it’s amazing. The children never come home hungry , quite often they tell me they had two servings of lunch. I will be very sad when our journey ends at the centre, but forever grateful to the educators that have cared and nurtured my children over the years

From a mum that has been through different centres, goodstart stud rd is a stand-out! Incredible centre, all rooms are spaced well and absolutely full of different activities! Outside play areas are amazing with lots of shared spaces for siblings! My kids have absolutely started to thrive from the level of care they are receiving! Good communication from staff, they are very caring and treat all the kids like family! I love the sense of community and security we feel very welcomed and safe here.

My son has recently started attending this centre and i am really glad i chose this centre after visiting quite a few in the area. The educators are really caring and patient with my son and he has bonded well with the teachers very quickly. The educators are making a great deal of an effort to make my child as comfortable as possible. Even the Centre Manager takes the time out to be with the kids. Satisfied 😊
