Our child started her daycare journey at Goodstart Semaphore South at 10 months old. It was the centre’s NQS rating (Exceeding expectations) that first attracted us there. From the very beginning, the wonderful educators looked after our daughter like she was their own. The staff really care for all of the kids, which is evident by the way I witnessed them engage with the children each and every day. In turn, the kids engaged with each other, which isn’t something I’ve witnessed much from visits or tours of other daycare centres. Both indoor & outdoor areas are always looked after well. The children are very well fed, with plenty of activities to enjoy throughout the day. As she grew, flexibility in changing routines & schedules was never a problem. The educators are super friendly & engaging with parents, happy to spend time chatting about your child’s day, the day previous or their progress in general. Our child comes home with new things that she has learnt all the time. We couldn’t recommend Goodstart Semaphore South any higher - all aspects of the centre are 10/10!

We’re glad you’ve noticed the engaging environments, well maintained indoor and outdoor spaces, and the variety of experiences that support learning and development, as well as the strong communication and relationships with families. It’s lovely to hear your child is bringing home new skills and learning, and we truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, it means so much to our team.

Our children love going to Goodstart Semaphore South. One of the reasons we chose this childcare was for the large outdoor spaces. My children have made lots of great friendships with other children at the childcare. They have also made strong bonds with the carers they have had over the time they have been there. My eldest does the Happy Feet program each Monday and it’s a highlight of her week.
