We absolutely love Headstart Knox! Our boy started here about 3 months ago and he is having the best time! The staff are so friendly, happy and warm. And the pictures and updates throughout the day are soooo cute! Our son's transition to child care has been so much smoother than we expected, and we attribute that wholly to the wonderful care and compassion shown by the staff here. We feel so lucky to have found this centre, and we can't thank everyone there enough for all that they do every day!

My husband and I continue to drive our daughter to the knoxfield centre, even though we’ve moved to Croydon. For us, the feeling of dropping off our child somewhere she feels safe, welcomed, valued and runs in the door to be with her educators, is extremely reassuring. The kinder program is exceptional & has now prepared her for what is to come in primary school. We couldn’t be more grateful for her intellectual and emotional development over the last few years. Hands down the best centre in the east!

My daughters & I have been a part of this beautiful community of educators since 2014. This year is our last year & we are going to miss this amazing, dedicated, hard working team. The meals coming from the kitchen are nutritional & smell amazing. With always a smile & happy greetings from the chef of the day. The room leaders & educators are caring, kind & very respectful of or little future leaders. And the centre management is top & have been helpful, accommodating & available for us to connect with for assistance. My children speak very fondly of the educators. They are the kind of teachers who taught you & you didn't even realise you were being taught. They have been part of our lives for so long & supportive to our family & needs. Thank you Headstart Knoxfield we have truly been blessed for your top services & we are forever grateful
