⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodstart Nelson Bay is truly exceptional. My son spent the last three years of his life at this centre, and I could not be more grateful for the love, care and support he received every single day. The entire team is incredibly caring, patient and dedicated to the children’s wellbeing. I still remember when I first arrived in Nelson Bay to work as a GP — I was welcomed so warmly by Mandy, and that kindness set the tone for everything that followed. From that moment, I knew my child was in the right place. A heartfelt thank you to Rosie, an amazing director whose support came exactly when my son needed it most. Her care was essential in helping him grow into a confident, kind little human. To Kathryn, Marta, Tara and Tara, Ginni, Hillita, Shatelle, Lena, and all the other wonderful teachers whose names I may not remember but whose impact I will never forget — thank you. Your patience, encouragement and love have shaped my son in the most beautiful way. I am forever grateful for every hug, every lesson, every moment of support. We love you all, and Goodstart Nelson Bay will always have a special place in our hearts. 💛
