"Goodstart Cavendish road south is a very nurturing and caring centre, where teachers go above and beyond for the kids. Our daughter has continuing health issues and we were read more apprehensive to send her to a daycare initially but when we met the centre director Kellie, we were blown away by her understanding and compassion for our situation. She went out of her way to make sure Maya was safe in the centre and also put systems in place to ensure her safety. Maya has been in the centre over a year and she absolutely loves it. Miss Julie, Miss Ebony, Mr Gus and Miss Ebru are so attentive and sensitive to her and other children’s need. We cannot recommend the centre enough and are glad to be a part of the Goodstart family.

"Now that my daughter is nearing completion of her first year at the centre, I think its time to commend staff and management on their amazing job in helping her settle and read more develop as a person. I love the positive vibes at the centre, how we are always greeted with a smile and how there is always time to listen to us. I love how my daughter wants to stay and continue her play when I pick her up in the afternoons; to see her develop new skills. And most of all i love that the team seems to genuinely care for the children. There is a lot of compassion and warmth towards the kids. I have, for example, never seen a sad child unattended to. After a different experience at another centre, this has given me the peace of mind I needed to confidently leave my child out of my own care. Just knowing someone is there for her whenever she needs it! "
