We’ve had at least one child attending Goodstart Melrose Park at some stage since 2017, each one progressing from Nursery all the way to preschool, and it has been such a valuable and rewarding time for them. The staff (too many good ones to name) have been great to deal with throughout, and we have appreciated the open communication. We definitely aren’t having any more kids but if we did we would gladly have them attend Goodstart Melrose Park again. Thanks to each carer who’s been involved in our boys’ education here, it will be bittersweet when our youngest one “graduates” in the middle of next year.
Response from the owner7 days agoThank you, Ben, for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We’re so pleased to have been part of your family’s journey since 2017 and to have supported each of your children from Nursery through to preschool. It’s wonderful to hear how much you’ve valued the open communication and the care provided by our team over the years. We’ll certainly miss seeing your family when your youngest graduates next year, but we’re grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us and for allowing us to play a part in your boys’ early learning years!

My son has been attending Goodstart Melrose Park since Jan 2025, and the centre and staff have been nothing but wonderful. All the staff are warm, welcoming, and supportive. I am confident leaving my son in the care of the educators as I know he is well taken care of, and he is always happy spending time there. I look forward to the daily Storypark updates to see what experience the children have done that day. Its nice to have an update on my son while im at work. I would definitely recommend this centre to anyone looking for a safe, supportive environment for their children.

My child joined this goodstart early learning center 3 months ago. Still she has not settle in. She cries all day. No one taking effort to help her settle. Very poor service. Would not recommend this centre to anyone.
