    Our first impressions of the centre was the reason we chose this daycare for our 2 children. It had a natural feel to it and the teachers made us feel welcome and cared for as early as the tour. After a year of being at the centre we have seen our children blossom and grow and they are excited every day it’s daycare day. Every single teacher has made our family feel welcome and looked after and they always have a smile on their faces. We look forward to continuing another year at this centre!

    As a first time mom, I was hesitant to put my daughter in daycare at a very young age (1 year old when we started) but I have no choice as I am working full time. I was so worried as initially my daughter cried a lot but they always assured me that my daughter is going to be fine (that offloaded my heavy heart), and just like that, she settled so quick. I am able to go to work without the guilt, and most of all I have peace of mind. I can see that my daughter has learned a lot at her young age and I can see that she is happy - shows that she is being well taken care of. I can see how the staff give their 100% with everyone and treating the kids equally. I am blessed to have joined this daycare. Big salute to the hardworking educators at Goodstart Pakenham!

    Moving my son here to start 3yo kinder was the best thing! The educators are just incredible, and the centre so inclusive. I really love the way the centre staff care for all of the little bodies rather than just their one room. The educational program is absolutely brilliant with in depth exploration. It's not hard to see why they are rated as exceeding! Thank you for all you do!
