Goodstart Berrimah - Childcare Centre

"I am very grateful to all the staff, especially the preschool teachers for their support and guidance to my son. He started without many social skills and I have seen how he read more has progressed. I could not be more thankful that I chose Goodstart as I saw how they cared for and guided him."

"When I reflect on Goodstart Berrimah, I am so happy I chose this centre all those years ago. I have had all 4 of my sons come through this centre (my eldest is now 11) and I read more cannot fault it at all. From the centre director, to Lisa who is so understanding and easy to communicate with when it comes to accounts, to all the educators on the floor who are terrific at what they do. The communication and feedback we receive is tremendous. Drop offs and pick-ups are a breeze! Our son has gone from a clingy, crying bub every morning to confidently walking into class and waving bye to mum and dad and that has come from the love and nurture he receives every morning/day from his educators. He has only been attending for 10 months and we have seen so much growth in his development and learning. We are confident that when the time comes for preschool, he will be school ready and confident to tackle the world, and that`s thanks to his educators!"

"Thank you so much for having our daughter. We appreciate the centre's efforts in her development. She started daycare with nappies, milk bottle and spoke less. But with the read more help of the team she was potty trained and began transitioning into panties and became comfortable wearing them. She stopped taking bottle and can speak fluently and in longer sentences. She will miss her friends and carers. She has enjoyed her time with Goodstart Berrimah."

"You guys have all been so wonderful we are very lucky to have such supportive people teaching us the ropes. "

"Fantastic! My child loves going there and the educators are so warm and friendly. They do so many different activities and it’s an amazing centre all around! "

"As we approach our last day at the centre, I just wanted to take the time to say a big ‘thank you’. When I contacted you in January looking for a place for my daughter, we read more were in a tricky spot having moved to Palmerston unexpectedly and you were more accommodating than I could have asked for. She had a couple of off weeks while she was settling in and all of the staff were just wonderful in helping her (and me) get used to the centre. She has formed genuine bonds with the staff and feels safe and happy to go to daycare. As you know, as a Mum, that’s all you really want for your kids when you have to leave them to work. We’re sad to be leaving the centre and the community that Berrimah has created for her and we can only hope that she will be as happy at her new centre. So, thank you. To you and all of the staff at the centre, you’ve all been wonderful and we can’t praise you enough. "

"We really cannot thank you enough for everything each and every one of you you have done for us, but absolutely the care you have all shown our daughter is nothing short of read more amazing. We have had a tough year as a family while I underwent cancer treatment and not once did I ever have to worry about her because we knew she was in the best hands and having the best fun we could have hoped for! Your Storypark photos and videos meant the world to us."

"Thanks so much for all the work you continue to do for our family - our son is in such a good place because of the love and care he gets from your staff and our other child read more also had the same experience. I cannot continue to express our thanks and speak your praises whenever I am asked."

"My son has settled in quickly which is due in large part to the great staff, but also because they have developed his learning by incorporating it into activities that he read more likes. The centre has also adapted to his changing needs in relation to sleep pattern, toilet training and interests."

"I cannot rate Goodstart Berrimah more highly. They have been terrific for my family, constantly adapting to the changing needs of my toddler, who loves going there."

"Our heartfelt thank you to all of you at Berrimah for taking great care of our daughter and teaching her so much for the last year. I can clearly see how much she has grown read more compare to her very first days at the centre with all the love and care she has been given. You all have made such positive connections with us and have been the greatest learning environment we can ever ask for. "

"I love the fact that the kids are so hands on at day care and have a sense of belonging as they are able to water the plants and they also help to plant them, I think this is read more very important. Also, with the new play equipment this is also great as the kids get sensory stimulation, which is a must for most children."

"Thank you all for the love, compassion and care that you have shown to our daughter since she started with you as a 5 month old baby. The team you are have all had an impact read more on her beginning of education and you will all be sorely missed. You definitely have a way of making people feel at ease with leaving their children in your care and our daughter's happiness and growth further evidences this. "

"After being left disappointed with our first childcare we moved our eldest to Goodstart Berrimah and we wish we had done so sooner with our now 2nd daughter starting off in read more the nursery. Every educator is fantastic and the centre is well maintained, never short of activities and healthy meals. Very informative and family orientated. Can't fault the centre!"

"Hands down the best childcare centre in Darwin. We tried a few Childcare in Darwin but nothing comes even close to this one. Staff are very friendly, professional and read more compassionate about their work. Food is provided and it is very good food and more than enough of it. They even have their own chef. The different classes are very structured, educators doing fun activities every day, crafting, painting, educational games. The educators are very caring and genuinely passionate about the kids, they pay attention to your kids needs and what interests them and give good feedback every day, with out even asking. You can feel the friendly, relaxed ambience as soon as you walk in. They open at 0630 which is very handy for people who start work at 0700. I could not recommend any better childcare for my kids in Darwin. Thank you so much for being so excellent."

"Our children had a wonderful time at your centre. This centre is by far the best we saw so far in Darwin. Excellent staff, great structured education for the kids and read more fantastic food."

"My son started here in diapers and now he can count to 20 on his own. You have all shown my son love and given the support every kid deserves. I am truly grateful for all the read more staff here."

"Just want to thank you and your staff for looking after my daughter so well, especially with her ever changing diet restrictions, intolerance and sensitive skin issues. The read more ladies in the nursery, especially Wendy, have been so caring. I can tell how much Bella enjoys being there as she happily goes off to the ladies when I drop her each morning."

"My children have always been happy to come to daycare and are always in a happy mood when I pick them up. This is testament to the staff and the genuine care they have for the read more children that attend. The kids' development and interaction have improved. It is truly a great place that children love to come to."

"We were new to Darwin at the start of the year and had a 7 month old daughter who needed love and cuddles 3 days a week. We looked at a few centres before finding this centre read more and immediately felt comfortable here as our daughter's second home. The team here are so caring and always stop to talk to us. Thank you for being so wonderful. "
