Goodstart Osborne

Was directed here by our CAFHS team as I needed to find care for my daughter that was close by and who could accommodate her medical condition. Goodstart had vacancies and were more than willing to accommodate my daughter’s medical needs. They made allowances for specialist nursing training from encompass (WCH) to come and train their nursery staff on how to feed my daughter through her nasogastric tube and how to prepare her thickened formula. My daughter was treated like everyone else, she absolutely loves it there and is excited to go every day and has bonded well with the staff. We love seeing the updates they provide for us on the app and all the photos. We loved the calendar they made us for Christmas with artwork from our daughter. We love seeing her actually learning and her development which we were concerned about hasn’t been an issue she has thrived there and at home. It’s been a positive experience for us. They also communicate extensively if she is unwell or if something happens. They’ve also been great and made allowances if Centrelink has messed with our CCS and currently as we have a new baby they’ve allowed us to change her times if needed and just been caring and great in general. Highly recommended!

Our son has grown up in Goodstart Osborne having commenced before turning one until now as he approaches school age. We always marvel at how adeptly the staff communicate with toddlers, infants, parents and other staff, adroitly navigating through these very different modes of communication. They maintain and share detailed notes about the progress and/or challenges of your child directly and through their app. They craft development plans specific to your kid and apprise you of its effectiveness. In addition, they provide healthy snack/lunch options (their cook is remarkable) and weave in ample physical activity. Our son, like most kids, was apprehensive in the beginning. Now he grabs his bag every (most) mornings and adorably commands us to take him to childcare. Knowing our son is happy, safe, well looked-after, and actually LEARNING... a nice review doesn't do it justice. The folks at Goodstart Osborne are like family.

We love Goodstart Osborne!! Our son has been at the centre for 8 months now and he is thriving. The staff go above and beyond to make sure his needs and ours are met everyday, the learning experiences they do allow for such imaginative play and we just love seeing him interacting with everyone in such a positive way!! The bond he has formed with everyone in the nursery gives us such peace of mind everyday knowing he is in the most loving, supportive and caring environment. The centre has such a warm, happy, family like environment we would encourage anyone looking for a childcare to have a look here!!

I'd just like to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for supporting my son during his time at Goodstart. He certainly is a complex little man, but you have all been wonderful to him, and for that we are truly grateful. I'd also like give a massive shout out to Phoebe for working so closely with him. She is such an asset to the Goodstart team; her care and patience is next level. I'm shedding a tear as I write this as she is absolutely awesome at what she doe and I know he will miss her immensely!

By far the best Goodstart I have been to. My kids love this centre and the staff are by far amazing. Cannot fault the team at Osborne!! If you want a good centre send your kids here.
