My son has been at Goodstart North Melbourne since he was 4 months old, and we’ve had a really positive time there. The centre is bright, clean and welcoming every day. The staff are fantastic and always make us feel at home. A big thank you to Aman, who has been amazing and made my sons time at GS something he will remember for life. The whole team is supportive, especially for full-time working parents like me. They make drop-offs and pick-ups easy, informative and quick.. I recommend this centre to other families.

Exceptional Care and Genuine Kindness Both of our children attended Goodstart Early Learning North Melbourne, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had. From the very first day, the educators made us feel completely at ease warm, professional, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth and wellbeing. The centre itself is bright, safe, and thoughtfully set up with engaging play and learning spaces that encourage curiosity and independence. The educators go above and beyond to tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs, which helped both of our kids thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Communication is another area where this centre truly shines. The team keeps parents informed and involved through daily updates, photos, and conversations at pick-up, so we always felt connected to what our children were learning and experiencing. What stands out most is the sense of community, it really feels like an extended family. The staff know every child by name and treat them with genuine love and respect. My kids absolutely adored their educators and still talk fondly about their time there. We are so grateful to the entire team at Goodstart North Melbourne for providing such a nurturing and inspiring environment. It’s clear they’re passionate about giving children the best possible start in life. Highly, highly recommend! Rozit and Amanuel K.

Lovely centre with communicative and attentive staff. We had to transition here while our local goodstart closed down for renovations, Nisha and her team did their utmost to accommodate the children and the staff who were moving across to make the move as smoothly as possible. My son formed beautiful bonds with the educators in his room. The centre is clean (my kids love the fish tank in the foyer!) and despite the larger outdoor playground being a lift away upstairs - the kids are usually taken for outside time as often as possible when the weather allows it. Thanks again to Nisha and the educators (casual and permanent alike).

Best staff ever seen in my life

"I can’t thank the Goodstart North Melbourne team enough for helping my son become so smart and well-mannered."Highly recommend child care centre.

Lovely centre. We have had two children go through this centre over the last 7 years and we have met many lovely educators and centre directors in that time. They have all been very caring and formed strong bonds with our kids/family. We are finishing up soon to start school, but will look back on this centre with many fond memories. Thank you Goodstart North Melbourne for all the care you have given!

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional experience my son has had with Goodstart North Melbourne. What sets it apart is its ability to create a vibrant, inclusive community where children truly thrive. The teachers promotes respect, kindness, and empathy into daily activities, teaching through meaningful interactions and positive role modeling. My son has not only acquired knowledge but has formed beautiful friendships that will be cherished memories of his early years. The school is also very diverse, helping children from different backgrounds learn together and develop a profound understanding of individual differences. This approach teaches invaluable lessons of tolerance and mutual respect that extend far beyond the classroom. Thank you for the carefully planned, nourishing meals to the warm, supportive environment created by every staff member. The administrators, reception, and teaching assistants demonstrate an extraordinary commitment, always patient, kind, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. The warm welcome and jolly disposition of the staff make dropping off my son a joy, making our daily routine smoother and more delightful. To the entire Goodstart North Melbourne team: Thank you for inspiring and shaping young lives with such passion, creativity, and excellence. Merry Christmas & a Prosperous New Year to all!

Very good team from management to their teachers. Nisha is so accommodating, understanding and supportive and the educators like Aman and her team are so helpful specially during my son’s transition to childcare. I will forever be grateful for their kindness, compassion and commitment. They know the children well.

Very accommodating. From the director down to the teachers. They will help and support, especially when you don't understand something. I'm so happy and grateful. ❤️

very bad managing systems,bad attitude of the current director Mellisa Karczemski. Before we enrolled here in Feb, the director at that time Sarah kindly offered me no early & late fees, considering l am a poor student and we have no CCS. Around two weeks later this center came a new director and they started to charge me for early&late fees without letting me know. l discovered this overcharge around two months later and wanted to ask my money back.Their new director Anka was kind and agreed to looked at my account and told me it may take up to 6 weeks.However I hadn't had any response after 7-8 weeks. I came to the center today, they now have another new director Melissa. She insisted not to give mymoney back, not even let me use this Wi-Fi. How Ridiculous! I must express my disappointment at the way this matter has been handled by Goodstart North Melbourne. The lack of accountability and the failure to honor the commitment made by the former director are unacceptable. Furthermore, the delay in responding to my concerns and the refusal to provide a refund have only exacerbated my frustration.
