My baby started at only 3 months old, which can be scary for any first time mum! She absolutely loves the nursery educators Neha, Wan, Fathima and Emily. They do so many interactive experiences throughout the day which I’m able to see photos of daily on Storypark and you can really tell they love the babies!

It is evident that the staff at Goodstart Ferntree Gully go over and above for the kids. Nothing is ever too difficult and they are willing to accomodate extra bookings on short notice - which is extremely helpful. They are proactive, have great attention to detail and are willing to go the extra mile for the kids including by planning events outside of work time for parents and kids across the different rooms to socialise with the educators and others. They also show a great deal of love and care for the children who attend the centre and offer a wide variety of experiences and opportunities for the kids to develop. My kids especially love the fish and the stick insects at pick up and drop off and enjoy the interactions with their friends and educators. Thank you to the wonderful team for all your efforts!
