The phone service was terrible, and it makes me question how I could trust them to look after my preschoolers if the way they treat their pupils is anything like the way I was treated over the phone.

I have been sending my daughters to Goodstart in Smithfield since 2019, this week we have said our final goodbyes as my youngest daughter leaves to start her school journey. The last 6 years at the centre have been so incredibly wonderful. The staff my girls have gotten to know and love have become almost family to them. Which makes it incredibly hard to say goodbye to a place I have truly trusted to look after and care for my children as I would do. I honestly cannot fault the care and dedication this place puts into caring for our kids. Thank you so much to Paula and all the AMAZING staff that have been a part of my daughter’s lives for the past 6 years. You all really do mean the world to us and I cannot thank you all enough. We will miss you all. Thank you.

We made the decision to move our 1 and 4 year old to the this centre after much consideration and it was the BEST decision we made. Each morning, both kids are so happy to greet their educators. Each educator is so present and purposeful with each interaction. it is clearly much more than just a job to each of them. Thank you guys for creating and atmosphere where the kids are so loved and cared for ❤️

My daughter currently attends here in the Kindy room. The teachers are amazing and since being moved here she has come along in leaps and bounds.

Thank you Paula & Daisy for your constant support throughout. Besides being a parent, I was blessed to be apart of the team. I can attest that the educators who work here truly care for your little ones. The love and care both of my girls received whilst attending truly warms my heart. My girls looked forward to attending every single time & had strong bonds with their primary educators Courtney & Jasmin. Thank you to the amazing team in Nursery 2 and Kindy, you guys will forever hold a special place in my heart. If we didn't have to relocate my youngest would still be attending Goodstart Smithfield. We miss you all and look forward to visiting in the future :)

One of the best childcare and best educators for little bubs. I was so amazed from day one. My son had a lovely time here. Everyone was so nice and kind. We will miss you all. I can't thank enough Paula and Daisy for so much help and all the educators for looking after my son so well. I will forever be grateful for the time my son spent here. Special thanks to Robyn, Grace, Courtney, Deb. Sending lots of love from us.

I could not ask for a better centre than Goodstart smithfield, I was with them for just under 5 years, I ONLY left because I moved to the country. Even when I moved suburbs I would have rather driven 30mins each morning and afternoon to stay with them. Which is what I did. Their care extended past looking after my children, and they take such amazing care of their children but it goes deeper than that. They make sure their parents are okay too and they offer anything they can to help you. I would not take back my time there for anything, they love those kids, and I miss them all very much.

I took my son from an early age and I am very satisfied

In a way I’m bias as I do work here also. However, I did try another centre for my daughter before sending her to my centre. I thought it would be best for my own career to have my child elsewhere however after seeing first hand the difference in quality by filling in at the other centre I removed my child from care as I was pregnant at the time it was a no brainer to enrol both my children at Goodstart Smithfield when I returned from mat leave. My daughter always tells me how much she loves Grace and Deb. My family is very blessed to have the best care for our children.
