The past 3.5 years that my son has attended Croydon Headstart we have seen him flourish and grow. The Educators there are nothing short of amazing and have allowed my son to thrive in a safe, trusting and developmentally appropriate environment. My son has made some strong connections with Educators as well as some wonderful friendships with his peers which is why he loves going everyday. Management are always warm and welcoming and the first to greet my son. I couldn't have picked a better childcare to start my son’s education at. He will be sad to leave in 2 years when he heads off to school. Highly recommend Croydon Headstart.

My son has attended headstart Croydon for 2 years, from babies through to toddlers. My son absolutely loves attending and doesn't stop talking about his educators and friends he wants to see on his days off. The centre has been a great support system for both my son and myself over the last 2 years with a family/homely vibe.
