My child has been attending Good Start Lower Plenty full-time for the past 12 months. We cannot overstate how happy we are with the the educators and the support we have received here. The educators at this centre go above and beyond to connect and build relationships with the children. Each day when I collect my son, I find him happily playing in the yard and the educators actively engaging with the children (reading books, playing in the sandpit or singing and dancing). The educators go out of their way to keep me updated on my sons interests and development, and always take the time to give me a short debrief on how his day went. In particular, I'd like to recognise the amazing efforts of the Fay, May and Youfei in the Nursery rooms. As a parent, it such a wonderful feeling to know that you are leaving your child with people who are not only invested in their learning and development, but who genuinely love caring for them. Thank you to the Goodstart LP team!

My child attends the center in the nursery room, Her educator, May, is absolutely Brilliant. My daughter loves her. I know she is going to be well looked after, safe and loved when she is in May's care. Would highly recommend if you are looking to put your baby into care for the first time.

Response from the owner 19 Dec 2025

Creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for our youngest children is so important to us, and it is wonderful to know you feel confident and reassured when leaving your daughter in our care. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation.
