We have used a few childcare centres and none have been as great as this one. The educators are encouraged to develop their skills and seem happy to be at work. Daily photos and reports on what the children have been up to are provided, along with details of what they ate, how long they slept, etc. There's a real community feel with extra-curricular activities involving parents. The environment is great for kids with natural toys, water play and bare feet. Creativity and curiosity is nurtured and teaching springs from the children's interests. Safety is taken seriously, also. The care provided at this centre is top notch and the communication and connection with parents/careers is lovely.

We have been sending our daughter to this centre for 18 months and am continuously impressed by the level of care, education and the friendships and bonds she has made with the team, which is led by the fabulous director, Kristen. The day has just a right balance of play and structure and our daughter always comes home happy and with lots of stories to share. They say if you’re looking at a childcare centre, focus on the people, as toddlers don’t care as much about mod-cons (even though this centre is very modern) as much as they do about who will cuddle them when they’re upset and who will cheer for them when they hit a new milestone. Thank you for taking great care of our daughter, and congratulations on being one of the best centres in the area.

This is a wonderful centre filled with many great educators. The management team do a fantastic job of running the centre and keeping parents informed. My 5 y/o has just graduated from kindergarten, and they went above and beyond to make her graduation such a special occasion. From the educators such as Vicki, Paddy and Janice to the team on the desk Kristen, Brodie and Danielle, to Voula the amazing chef, everyone is kind-hearted and does a wonderful job at making both the parents and children feel secure in the care they are receiving. Great work team.

Goodstart Bentleigh McKinnon is a fantastic childcare centre! Kristen and the team have been like a second family to my girls and provide high level of care and education. The near new facility is well designed and clean with awesome outdoor areas. I would (and do) recommend to anyone. My girls started under 12mths and can't thank the team enough for helping and sharing with us all their milestones 🤗
