Our son has been attending this childcare centre since he was just 8 months old, and now he is 5 and about to graduate and start Prep. Looking back, we are incredibly grateful for the journey he has had here. Over these years — including the challenging period during the pandemic — the educators have shown not only professional care but also genuine love and attention. They truly observe every child closely and understand their individual needs. Every day is thoughtfully planned, with a wonderful variety of activities: arts, sports, learning experiences, and so much more. As parents, finding a centre with a truly positive, warm, and supportive culture is extremely rare. But this place has exactly that. Our son has grown, learned, and thrived here — and that kind of environment is something nothing else can compare to. We will always appreciate what they have given him and our family. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a nurturing and high-quality early childhood centre.

My daughter has been at Goodstart - Flinders Street since late 2022 and she loves it. The location is really good and the staff are friendly, helpful and most of all, they feel like family. It's kind of sad to know that soon my daughter will start primary school and we will miss the environment here. If you need a day care in the city, look no further. Thanks team...you helped shape my daughter to what she is now...happy and ready to move forward.

Goodstart Flinders Street has been an absolute standout for our family. Our child started in the nursery and is now thriving in the toddler room, and the educators have been nothing short of amazing. They’re warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and development of the students. We had struggled finding somewhere we were comfortable with closer to home, so we thought to look at what was available in the city. It's been so helpful to drop off/pick up our child right before and after work. The centre itself is a real hidden gem in the city — a calm, welcoming space that our child loves. We’re so grateful for the wonderful team and the care they provide. They are also highly engaged in terms of communication with parents, which is important and something we really value. Highly recommend!
