Our daughter commenced at Headstart at 11 months old and I can honestly say the entire experience from an initial tour, enrolment, through to orientation and then full days of care has been such a positive experience. The educators are so so amazing, their care for each child's wellbeing and development is so evident as is their passion to connect with and see each child thrive. Their communication is awesome and it's amazing that the children have the same carers each day! Our daughter LOVES her Headstart days and now claps her hands with excitement when we enter! Highly recommend all facets of OG Headstart!

I am sharing a heartwarming story that beautifully encapsulates the remarkable impact the team has on the children under your care. This past weekend, my son surprised us by proficiently using the keyword sign for 'more,' a sign that I hadn't introduced to him yet. This milestone is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Teika, Kaytlyn, Pat, Charlotte, and other educators who contribute to my sons growth. Their patience, nurturing guidance, and attention to detail, such as encouraging sign language to complement verbal communication, have not gone unnoticed. It is evident that my sons educators are deeply committed to understanding and meeting each child's unique needs. These small yet significant moments, like my son's newfound skill, fill our family with immense gratitude for the nurturing environment you cultivate. A heartfelt thanks to the educators who support my son daily. Your positive influence extends far beyond the classroom's walls, shaping brighter futures for our children. A side note, my son has attended 3 centres and I have a background as an early years educator, I can safely say this learning environment is second to none.

My son has had a great experience in the nursery at Headstart. I've been really impressed with the care and commitment shown by the educators and delighted to see my son form such solid relationships with both them and the other children. Highly recommend.
