Couldn't imagine a centre that would be better for our kids. All the staff and educators catered to my children in a way that made them love their time there.

I couldn’t speak highly enough of the staff and educators. All of our needs were listened to and met, and we were kept informed so much throughout the day for peace of mind when our first was settling in. We’ll be very sad to leave when our youngest starts school!

My son attended Goodstart Blackwood for 3 years and I cannot speak highly enough of the centre and the incredible team there. From the very beginning the educators have shown genuine care, patience and understanding. The level of support, advocacy and compassion shown by both the educators and management has been outstanding. They have worked closely with external therapists, supported his development thoughtfully and always made sure he felt safe, valued and included. The communication from the centre has been excellent, and it’s clear how much effort goes on behind the scenes to support children and families, especially those with more complex needs. The educators truly know the children as individuals, and the warmth and dedication they bring every day does not go unnoticed. I highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive and inclusive early learning environment.

Our daughter loves attending Goodstart Blackwood. She’s made many friends in a nurturing and fun environment.

When your child doesn’t want to go home when you come to pick her up, you know you made the best choice by enrolling her here. The educators are amazing，very caring，kind and professional！We appreciate the regular updates we get throughout the day and the photos to see what our daughter has been up to with her friends. Thank you everyone for all the care and love you give to my little one.

10 out of 10 would recommend this centre every time. The staff and management have been amazing with all of our children over the course of the last 8 years. Truly appreciate the care you provide - it is a warm, safe place that my children love attending.

Speaking with friends and past experiences I love this centre. Great staff, the children love it and are always happy when they get picked up! I have recommended to several friends and continue to do so. Thank you for your care and support that you give my children and family.

Pretty bad experience. Had to move the child to another centre.

Choosing Goodstart Early Learning Blackwood has been an outstanding decision for my family. Highly recommend this centre! I was initially hesitant about sending my child to a childcare center, concerned about hygiene, care, attention, and my child's emotional well-being. However, my experience at Goodstart Early Learning Blackwood has completely changed my perspective. My child and I struggled with separation anxiety initially, but the patient and caring approach of my child's educator, Tamara, has been invaluable in comforting us. Tamara treats each child with compassion and sensitivity, making my child feel comfortable and happy to attend the center now, and no tears at dropping off time which seems magical to me. The management team, Venessa and Neha, offer guidance and support, creating a friendly and inclusive space where both children and parents feel valued and at ease. Their commitment, transparent communication and regular updates, shows the center's dedication to providing the highest quality experience. I must add that you gave us an amazing experience at your centre and you have set the quality bar so high that we are comparing all the centre in Victoria with yours. You are doing a fantastic job Venessa! High 5! Miss you all!

I have had my son at goodstart for 2years now his development has improved so much in this time. The staff are so kind, caring and nurturing. This is the reason I feel reassured to send my 5month old boy here as well starting next week. Thankyou Blackwood team
