Some of the staff at Great Beginnings Golden Bay are great, but the management leaves a lot to be desired—especially when it comes to supporting children with special needs. I raised concerns about my child’s care, but instead of addressing them properly, managers Lizzi and Renae responded with vague, deflective language across multiple unclear emails. Rather than taking responsibility, their responses made me feel like my child was at fault, rather than acknowledging the staff’s failure to accommodate his needs during activities. I often felt that my child was left aside and not given the care and attention they needed due to their condition. Unfortunately, I’m not alone in this experience—I know of at least two others who have had similar issues. Additionally, the community nurse has also raised concerns about this centre after hearing similar complaints. It’s disappointing that management doesn’t seem to prioritise inclusivity or proper support for all children.

Can’t see any other day care as good and professional as this one, staff are friendly and service is spot on, not to mention the extras like breakfast ready for parents in a rush and a awesome coffee machine
