Our twins have been attending Goodstart Early Learning Eltham since they were just babies, and we honestly can’t say enough good things about the care and support we’ve received over the years. Now at 3 years old, our little ones are confident, happy, and thriving — and so much of that is thanks to the incredible team at this centre. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. They’ve taken the time to get to know both of our children as individuals, supporting their different personalities and helping them grow at their own pace. It’s clear that they love what they do, and that warmth shines through every day. Communication with parents is excellent — we always feel informed, supported, and involved. From daily updates to special events and learning milestones, it’s been a joy to see how our twins have grown emotionally, socially, and intellectually. The environment is nurturing, clean, and well-organised, with engaging activities, outdoor play, and a strong focus on learning through play. Our children are excited to go each day, which speaks volumes. We’re incredibly grateful to have found a childcare centre that feels like an extension of our family. Thank you to everyone at Goodstart Eltham, (directors, admin staff, educators, chef) for giving our twins such a strong, happy, and loving start in life.
