Goodstart Early Learning Ocean Reef

Goodstart Ocean Reef is a lovely Centre with a great team. The passion, care and support provided by the educators extends beyond the child to the parents. Goodstart Ocean Reef has exceeded expectations when I have reached out for support and/or guidance for me and my son. There is no better feeling than your child attending a childcare Centre with great staff, knowing that your child is in great hands whilst you’re at work.

Nothing but good things to say about Goodstart Ocean Reef. My daughter started going here when she was eight months old and loved every second she was there (it was even hard to bring her home sometimes). She was in two different rooms during her time there and the carers in both rooms are beyond amazing (Chelsea, Selina, Birender, Maryanne, Sarah, Hali, Ashleigh, Taylor). They do anything to help the students progress in their development. I can’t imagine where my child would be at without being here. At 19 months old her language, social and motor skills are beyond that of expected for her age and it is definitely down to the range of activities and learning provided for her at Goodstart. All the staff members are so welcoming and lovely, especially Kacey and Rachel who it was so great to chat to every morning. Unfortunately we had to move due to moving out of the area but we were absolutely heartbroken to leave and the whole centre was sad to see us go. They made us feel so special and valued. We will miss Goodstart Ocean Reef terribly!

I hardly know where to begin, but I vividly recall our very first day at Goodstart. During the tour, I shared our previous daycare experience with Kacey. I'll never forget her reassuring words, 'I'm sorry your previous experience wasn't great, but let's start anew. I promise Toby will love it here.' She was absolutely right! Toby adores being here, and every step of his journey has been incredible. Our previous daycare labeled my son 'too sensitive' and couldn't accommodate him, even though he was only one at the time. But at Goodstart, Toby is seen as a superstar :). Our son has since been diagnosed with ASD and GDL, and every team member has held our hands, providing unwavering support. They continue to stand by us, and we feel incredibly blessed knowing that our little boy has the most extraordinary educators by his side. They love him, support him, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure inclusion and enhance their skills to work with autism. Thank you, Kacey, Gabby, Chantel, Liam, Daniel, Mary, Rachel, Birender, Courtney the girls from Nursey too, Maryanne, Chelsea and Selina and all the others educators that have been part of his journey :) Our family's gratitude knows no bounds! Thank you
