I’ve been using this centre for over a year and couldn’t be happier. The staff is caring, professional, and truly invested in the kids. My child loves going and has grown so much since starting. I always feel confident they’re in great hands. Highly recommend!

Can not praise the center and all the educators more. Both our children have been attending the center from nursery room and both have loved coming in each day. Our children formed loving bonds with their educators throughout their time in care, they took part in numerous educational activities, attended some amazing excursions and incursion that they both thoroughly enjoyed and talked about for days after. The center in itself has recently been renovated both indoors and their outdoor environments, this has been a great addition to an already amazing service. If you are looking for a great centre for your child look no further, the educators will go above and beyond to ensure your child is settled and that they feel safe and loved. They will ensure you as a family feel welcomed, as you walk in you will be greeted by the amazing management team at the front office, they will assist in any way they can to ensure you and your child have a smooth transition. The educators will communicate with you regularly about your child and how they are going. From the bottom of our hearts thank you all for taking such good care of our most precious little people.

I discovered goodstart early learning point cook the strand from my neighbours whose daughter attended from a young age and they highly recommended it to me, so I enrolled my 4 and 1 year old after orientation at the start of this year and have not been disappointed, they settled in very well. The staff at good start the strand are all very friendly and welcoming and they do not have high turnover which is always comforting. My older children attended a community kindergarten and they never went on an excursion, I was amazed that in the first term my 4 year old kinder boy attended 3 excursions and many incursions relevant to what they are learning. They visited the melbourne museum, botanical gardens and a live play, my almost 2 year old has even attended a rhyme time at the local library and has plans to visit the children's gallery at the museum this term. I would recommend this centre for sure and am glad I found it ! 🙂
