I've been visiting Goodstart Avocet Drive annually for over a decade as a service provider. I've always been warmly welcomed by both the director and staff alike. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They have had MANY of the staff working there for several years and the children are always settled and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend sending your child here, they are a great caring and professional team. Read more

Throughout our 3 years at the centre we always felt welcomed and like we are part of the family. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and professional, always going above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. My twins absolutely love the wide range of activities offered, from creative arts and crafts to educational programs tailored to their age and development. While I am sad that we are leaving to start school I know that my twins have had the best start and are more than ready to transition into school life thanks to their time at Goodstart Avocet Drive Read more

Zaida has been taking care of our boys since the beginning of 2020.  At the time, my eldest son was 3 years old, and my youngest was just 9 months. Returning to work after a year of maternity leave, I was feeling very anxious, especially given my youngest son's strong attachment.  However, from our very first meeting, Zaida immediately put my mind at ease, providing comfort and assurance that my boys would be in excellent hands.  Zaida not only made my transition back to work smoother but also went above and beyond with regular updates, photos, and a willingness to accommodate the flexibility I needed in my work schedule. Our boys always enjoy their time at Zaida’s with the many fun filled activities, and on a few occasions, my youngest son didn't want to leave upon pick up, a remarkable change from his initial adjustment period!  I put this down to Zaida’s genuine care of the children and treats them as if they were her own which is such a comfort and what every parent wants, to know that their children are in good hands and loved. Having Zaida in our lives has been a true blessing.  We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found such a wonderful educator, and Zaida has undeniably become an integral part of our family circle.
