I don't know where all these 5 star reviews are coming from. Seems they have the bad ones removed because we had an absolutely horrible experience. Our child was too afraid to return because he was being stood over by 3 grown adults and yelled at. My partner had just returned home from dropping him off and they called asking her to pick him up because he threw something over the fence. He was 3 years old for gods sake!! We could see in his face he was too scared to go back and now they are trying to get us to pay them for the time he didn't attend because he didn't want to go. He has never complained about going to child care until we started him here but we could see the sadness and fear in his eyes. Disgusting and totally unacceptable. Not every child is easy and our son could be a bit of handful but they are supposed to be trained for this kind of situation and the way they handled it was extremely unprofessional. Shame on the women that treated our son that way!!!

I cannot speak more highly of the team at Goodstart Regent Street. My daughter has been attending the centre since she was 7 months old. The care and support the team have shown has been nothing short of amazing, she loves attending everyday so much so there are nights she doesn't want to leave.

Both my children have attended Goodstart Preston Regent St and we have been exceptionally happy with the centre, educators and staff. A hugely positive sign for me is that a lot of the educators and relief teachers who taught my son are now also teaching my daughter - they are 4.5 years apart in age. This is an exceptionally low turn over and shows that the centre and admin take care of their team. Everyone is extremely friendly and community focused. My children have always been happy at the centre. We receive lots of communication from the team and they are always happy to accommodate requests where possible.
