Nurturing and empathetic care, my oldest has thrived and I’m sure my second will also at Goodstart Croydon.

My daughter loved going here from 6 months old all the way until she started primary school. The educators were so lovely and she would run into their rooms as soon as she got there most days always excited to hang out with her friends. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Good Start in Croydon. Our two boys have thrived here in ways we never imagined. From day one, the staff welcomed them with open arms and made both our children and us feel like part of a caring family. The educators are truly exceptional—nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. They’ve created a warm environment where our boys felt safe, valued, and excited to learn. We’ve watched them grow not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned, balancing play with learning in ways that keep the children engaged and curious. What stands out most is how well the staff know our children. They understand their individual personalities, interests, and needs, and they communicate with us regularly about their progress and daily experiences. It’s clear that every staff member cares deeply about the children in their care. Our boys came home happy, tired from play, and full of stories about their day. As parents, we feel confident and grateful knowing that they were in such capable, loving hands. We wholeheartedly recommend this centre to any family looking for quality childcare where children are truly nurtured.
