    From Day 1, I have only felt good vibes from this centre and its incredible team. Everyone at Hughesdale HeadStart has been truly wonderful — kind, positive, loving, and supportive. The onboarding process was smooth, and the way the team helped settle my 2-year-old daughter, Tarana, into her new environment was truly heartwarming. In those early days, Tarana received such thoughtful, extra care, and I was kept updated regularly, which gave me so much comfort as a parent. Watching her begin to get excited each morning to go to her centre is the biggest testament to how much fun she has and how safe and happy she feels there. While we’re stepping away temporarily, I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am to have found Hughesdale HeadStart. It’s been such a blessing to be part of a place filled with so much warmth and dedication. A very special thank you to Rupal, Nicole, Anu, Kim, Khevna, and Eugenia — thank you for caring for my little girl with so much love and kindness. You’re all amazing, and we will always carry fond memories of our time with you. With heartfelt gratitude, Parul

    My daughter Olivia has attended the childcare for 2 months. The staff in her room such as Rachel, William and Anupama have all been fantastic. They looked after her well and helped her adjust to the childcare environment for the very first time. We are very grateful for their help.

    Response from the owner6 months ago

We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Kind regards, The Headstart Early Learning Team.

    When my kids started going here 12 months ago, I paid $168 per day. They have increased their price 3 times in 12 months and it is now $188.90 per day. It’s a shame because my kids like the children and educators. I never would have put my children in this centre if I knew they would be increasing their prices every 4 months. My friends and family pay around $160-170 as standard for their childcare. Do not put your kids in this centre if you’re working to any sort of budget. Edit: You pass on your "operational costs" to families and local communities while G8 makes millions in profit and your CEO pockets a tidy $3m.
