Goodstart Early Learning - Bentleigh East McKinnon Road

I visited 8 child centres within the area when making a decision as to where our little one should attend. Given he was going to be under one when he started I really wanted to make sure it ticked as many boxes as possible. Goodstart Early Learning exceeded in nearly everyone of those boxes; clean, bright, friendly / helpful staff, off a main road, safe, underground car parking, a seperate sleeping room for the babies & a great yet challenging syllabus. We started a few weeks ago and I am over the moon with our decision. The educators are incredible (the top of my list requirement which I found to be the hardest aspect to deeply gauge during a tour!) they are kind, caring and passionate about their jobs. We receive daily updates of their activities with photos and a full breakdown of their routine for that day.
Our little one loves going to daycare which makes the toughest part of our day (the drop off!) just that little bit easier.

The team at Goodstart Bentleigh East McKinnon Road are absolutely amazing. My son spent 5 years with this team from when he started at Goodstart Carnegie and moved to the new centre at Bentleigh East when it opened. The whole team do such an amazing job at providing a positive, welcoming and encouraging environment so the kids can flourish and grow. The care and support also shown to me and my husband was just outstanding. Highly recommended this centre.

The centre is an absolute gem, my daughter have been attending goodstart Carnegie and now Goodstart Bentleigh East on McKinnon Road for the past 4 years.
The centre feels exactly like a second home for my daughter providing the perfect balance of comfort and care, along with plenty of thoughtful and creativity learning opportunities. You can see how experienced the educators are and how much they love their job by the way they talk and treat the children with great respect and genuine interest.
The overall running of the centre is so well managed and up to date with the industry, I've never had to worry about the safety or health or overall wellbeing of my child and their communication to parents is perfect.

The best childcare around. I love how the staff really enjoy their jobs and get to know each child and their family. I've had children attending with Goodstart for over 8 years and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Personable, friendly and welcoming

My child has been in Goodstart Bentleigh East-McKinnon Road since they opened. It has been an amazing experience with all the caring staff. Everyone is so passionate about what they are doing. My daughter enjoys her time and is always learning something new. She has developed her confidence and that all comes back to the centre, as they encourage her to share her thoughts and make choices. They take the children on excursions to engage them with the community which is amazing. Last year they planned a lot of incursions to support children’s learning.
My daughter loves the food there, and she is always talking about what she ate. I am confident that I did the right choice sending my daughter there, and I am very happy knowing that my child is safe and supported.

Goodstart Bentleigh East McKinnon Road has been such a wonderful, positive experience for my toddler, who is going there for almost a year now. The centre, having such an amazing staff with smile on their faces, makes one feel so welcoming. Rooms and grounds are very clean and above all the educators are fabulous trying to find new ways to educate and keep the kids engaged and making them learn new things. As a parent I would highly recommend this centre.
