Our centre offers a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel like they’re part of a second family.
Our diverse team of dedicated educators is passionate about building meaningful relationships with children and their families. We invite families to actively participate in our variety of engaging programs and celebrations of special events throughout the year, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
Inside, our rooms from Nursery to Kindergarten are thoughtfully set up to reflect the Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play-based learning opportunities designed to promote children’s growth and development.

This childcare is my son’s first child care and I am glad to send him here. The whole team, especially Vara, Nitu, Deepti and Lily, are so nice and friendly and the little one has good time with his fellows and learns a lot from the educators. I would highly recommend this child care in forest hills area to my friends. A big THANK YOU to the whole team.

My son spent two wonderful years at this center. English was a challenge for him, but the staff's love and support helped him overcome many obstacles. Their care made such a positive impact on his life, and he always looked forward to going. I’m so grateful to Deepti, Lizzy, Sam, and the entire team for their dedication. If you're looking for a place that truly nurtures children, I wholeheartedly recommend this center.

A great place with amazing staff! I'm so lucky to have a good start with my daughter. My daughter has been going to Goodstart Forest Hill for three years and I am so grateful to everyone who has helped my daughter love her time there. The staff are wonderful, they always greet her with open arms and a smile. My daughter is learning a lot and I am constantly informed of her progress. I always leave knowing that she is safe and well cared for. I would like to thank Akram, Sargun, Lizzy,Lily, Neha and all the other staff who made sure my daughter had a wonderful time there. I would also like to thank Deepti (center manager) for her excellent management of the center and the care she gives to the staff and children. I'm sorry to be leaving, my daughter is at school now! I will miss you all!

This childcare is a hidden gem! My children have been attending for the last two years and they've absolutely thrived. On first glance it seems older and smaller than other commercial centres but what it lacks in a modern, shiny exterior, it more than makes up for with the most caring, loving and dedicated team of educators. This was the third childcare my daughter attended and her favourite by far. The staff always made her feel so cared for at drop off and she was never left to cry by herself - as had been the case with previous 'fancier' centres. The smaller group sizes means children are much less overwhelmed and build meaningful friendships quickly. This centre is perfect for children that are quiet and shy or need a little extra love. When looking for the perfect centre, brand new facilities and the latest toys are nice, but educators that feels like family will always be a higher priority in my mind. A special mention to Loris, Sargun, Lizzy and Lily for always making my kids feel like they were going to hang out with their Aunties rather than going to childcare. They have always felt so loved and cared for. Lizzy took such care in setting up the 4-year-old Kinder room to take into account each child's interests and design a personalised curriculum that suited individuall needs. Honestly, my kids preferred their days at childcare than at home, and I don't blame them! Deepti (the Centre Director) takes such a personal approach to the families that attend, listens to concerns with care, requests input on everything from the lunch to the graduation ceremony, and is always up for a chat. Pick up often takes a while as I'm busy chatting to all the amazing educators! If you are looking for an exceptional centre that will help your child thrive, don't look past Goodstart Forest Hill. It's truly a fantastic, and overlooked, centre.
