We went on four tours of childcare centres around Civic. I have to say Goodstart (ANU) stood out easily. My LO has bonded well with educators and seems to enjoy her play time with other LOs. We chose Goodstart (ANU) for following reasons: Friendly staffs with good vibes. Wide open space with good hygiene. Good development plans for kids.

Really great child care centre. The educators here are so wonderful with the children. The staff are so lovely and friendly - you walk into the centre and are greeted and the staff know my child’s name. The facilities here are excellent - very clean and new. The layout of the childcare is perfect and every room has a lot of space with lots of lovely toys for the children to play with. The outside areas are also large with lots of things for the children to play with. The centre always does different activities with the children to keep them occupied. I like how the educators always keep parents updated with how the children’s day has been. Excellent daycare, would absolutely recommend.

As a parent, I put my child’s name down with Goodstart Anu since March 2024 as I heard lots of good things from other people. But the business cares more about profits ( prefer full time enrolment) while they claim they are non-for-profit. Please be aware if you are only looking for part time care , your needs will be pushed back. Currently, Goodstart anu has a spot for the infant room but I was told they have to give the spot to a family who is behind my child on the waiting list, just because they require five days care. And I had to call them three times to find out this decision they made for my family. The staff told me this is best for the business profit and she tried to persuade me to enrol five days so I can secure the spot with good intentions. No one ever tries to tell me when I put my child’s name down 5 months ago that Good start prioritise full time enrolment instead of part time due to business reasons. I totally understand business needs to run smoothly with some priorities, but please at least tell me at the first place 5 months ago. Feeling disappointed and unfairly with the management team’s poor communication.
