This Child care centre is excellent, its a small centre but what makes it great is the child care educators, they are professional, informative, nurturing and just overall excellent. My kids are always happy attending this little gem of a centre.

My daughter has been attending Goodstart Arcadia Street for the past three years and is now midway through her 4-year-old Kinder program. Our experience with the centre has been exceptional. From the very beginning, there has been a strong sense of community and warmth — it truly feels like a second family. The educators are incredibly gentle and nurturing in their approach, creating a safe and supportive environment for the children to thrive. I’ve always appreciated the open and genuine communication with the staff, who consistently offer thoughtful insights and valuable feedback on my daughter’s development. At one point, I did consider moving her to a centre closer to home for convenience, but ultimately decided against it — I honestly don’t believe the same high standard of care and attention could be found elsewhere. I’m grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my daughter’s early years!

My son has been attending this centre since July last year. The staff were amazing settling him into a routine that allowed him to adjust. He loves going and I truly believe it is helping his development. The staff are professional, polite and caring which is important for young children’s development to be positive.
