Goodstart Early Learning

Lorraine and staff have been absolutely wonderful, from baby room through to the Kindy room. The last 5-6 years has been a pleasure knowing that my children have been well looked after.

We had a good feeling about Goodstart Alfred Cove from the beginning and they went the extra mile in communication and helping us get in when we didn't have many options. Our son thrived there, made friends and became an avid reader with the care of the educators there. We always felt welcome and were given time to talk to the educators about his development. When we left (for a centre that was much closer to us) the educators left us a lovely letter about our son and his development. I sincerely hope our son remembers Goodstart later in his childhood and has fond memories.

I have been working at Goodstart Alfred cove for quite some time as a relief educator (from one of the agencies) and each time I feel so comfortable and relaxed working in this centre. I have been to some other centres and at times, the relief staff is not treated so well, even though we are putting in all our efforts to care for the children. He staff are always attentive to the needs of the children and all children are supervised well. I absolutely love working with Lorraine and her team!

My kids have been in this daycare since they were babies right up to school age. Lorraine and her team have always been amazing to deal with. Such a relaxed, family friendly, yet professional centre.
More importantly my kids loved it there:)

4 years of consistent good service, from baby room to kindy. Great staff that seems happy about their workplace, low turnover. They truly know the kids and treat them respectfully and kindly.

Want to say a huge thank you to all of the beautiful ladies who cared for my son. Such a warm and caring environment and always a lot of fun and laughter too. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time with you and we were sad to say goodbye. ️

Our little boy attended this center at age of sixteen months. Educators in this center has been absolutely amazing. They have looked after him so lovingly he got used to the attending day care very quickly. It is so sad to say goodbye as we are moving interstate. Wish this center and wonderful staff all the best for future. You are providing a great service to community.

We came to Goodstart in desperation, we were having a terrible time at a different child care centre, and while Goodstart Alfred Cove were at capacity, we were informed of a likely timeframe to get a day, and slowly we were able to transition my child into only being cared for here.

My child had a dietary requirement, which has never been an issue, in fact, staff has gone above and beyond to both provide required diet, and also to contact me immediately if anything had gone not to plan, or to ask permission to loosen the requirements for special events. Never has my child felt left out because of his requirements.

Secondly, and even more importantly, from the day we walked through the door in distress we felt loved and cared for. Our concern was heard and I felt that everything was done to ensure my child could have a spot and be looked after the way he deserves.

It has been nothing but good experiences from before we signed up, til this, our last couple of months with the centre. I cannot recommend it more.

Thanks to all staff

Our boy has had such a great experience at Goodstart in Alfred Cove. The educators are extremely caring and there are lots of great activities to help with his learning and development. We will be sorry to say goodbye!
