Reviews
"As parents, we are happy with the decision we made of enrolling our toddler at the Goodstart University Drive centre in Mill Park. Everytime our daughter comes back home from her CC day, she seems very happy and learns some new skills each time. I would really like to say that the educators are all very nice and nurturing and take really good care of all children in their room. All staff members including admin, directors and educators are are very approachable and are swift to respond via phone, the CC app and email. There are regular excursions arranges for kids , lots of new and interesting activities and meals for the kiddies. Overall , we are very happy to see our little one thrive at this centre. The layout of the centre is also good and allows all rooms to have good light and ventilation and access to the play areas. I would highly recommend the centre for anyone who is thinking about enrolling their child here."
"Highly recommend this amazing service. Incredibly experienced and nurturing educators. The teachers are passionate about scaffolding each child’s individual learning was making them feel safe and secure in their environment. Parent feedback and communication is outstanding. Children have so many opportunities for exploration and learning and they also have frequent incursions and excursions. They also welcome family involvement and community engagement and run many family events throughout the year."
"We have been apart of this centre for 7 years, across our 3 children. They are like family and have always treated our children as their own. The quality of care and educators are second to none, they all go above and beyond to make sure all children thrive in their development. All the staff and centre management are very caring and extremely responsive with any and all queries I've ever had. They are genuinely invested in the care and welfare of all the children who attend this centre. I believe that in the short time my youngest daughter has been in care at this centre there has been significant positive changes to her speech, behaviour and interactions all thanks to the brilliant educators and the wonderful program provided. All the children are kept creatively engaged throughout the day and are made to feel so at home. Some highlights for our family with our children have been the amazing Kinder program which included swimming lessons, bush kinder, library, sports days, farm visits, lunch excursions & lots of community visitors to expand their little minds. The centre always has events celebrating, acknowledging and highlighting all days of significance where the children are able to learn and embrace all cultures. I would highly recommend this childcare to all!"
"As an Early Childhood Educator myself, I went on many centre tours when beginning to decide on which Centre I felt best about for my son to be cared for and educated in. I knew what I was looking for and I was particular about finding it. Every day that I drop my son off to daycare I really am so happy with my choice. The positive feeling I was left with after the initial tour really has been the consistent reality since enrolling my son. The learning spaces are wonderful and the entire team is so warm and welcoming. Every Educator really does go above and beyond to show my son, and myself that he is cared for and his needs are important. The community feeling within the centre is also so wonderful which I believe is a testament to the awesome Management team and the team and environment that they have created, as well as their encouragement of parent involvement in so many different aspects. Absolutely in it for the long haul with Goodstart Uni Drive and recommend it so highly to anyone looking for quality care from a group of wonderful and passionate professionals."
"I have been a family at the centre for over 7 years and I cannot speak highly enough about it. Having worked as an educator myself previously, I know what to look for and this centre has it all. Amazing teachers, educators and leadership team who are professional in their approach, yet you can have a laugh with them. Amazing programs, including excursions for the little ones and lots of community visitors to expand their little minds. And we always see lots of events in the centre celebrating, acknowledging and highlighting days of significance."
