Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham

We’ve been part of this wonderful daycare centre for over four years with both of our children, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The facilities are fantastic — especially the outdoor area, which is a real standout. There’s water play, vegetable gardens, climbing frames, a sandpit, trikes, and so much more to keep the kids engaged and active. The centre has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a lovely sense of community. The centre director, co-director, educational lead and administrative assistant are truly outstanding — their dedication, care, and professionalism really make a difference. They go above and beyond to support both children and families. The educators are caring, kind, and attentive. Our kids absolutely love going each day and greet their educators with a big hug every morning — which says it all. Communication is also excellent. The centre keeps us regularly updated with photos, messages, and information about what the children are doing and learning. It’s so reassuring and helps us feel really connected to their day-to-day experiences. We feel so lucky to have found this centre and couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We've had kids at Goodstart for a couple of years, and chose the center after touring several for it's large rooms and outdoor area. We have always been impressed by the quality of educators (many of whom have been there a long time) and found them to really care about our little people. Last year there were some new faces brought into the center leadership, who've made a positive impact on how the center is run. Some things are a bit old school (ie you won't get nap times uploaded to an app) which initially took a bit for us to adjust to after coming from another center but after we got used to checking the book, I don't miss it. Very happy to recommend!
