The staff go above and beyond, they have made my anxious child feel loved and welcome and now I drop her off with a smile everyday instead of tears.

I couldn’t be happier with the care and support my child receives at Goodstart Carindale. One thing that really stands out to me is how consistent the staff are. There isn’t a lot of turnover, so the kids get to see the same familiar faces every day. That’s so important because it helps them feel safe, build trust, and settle in much more easily. I’ve definitely seen a big difference in my child’s confidence and overall sense of security because of this. I highly recommend Goodstart Carindale to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and enriching childcare environment.

Goodstart Carindale has helped nurture my son from the first day he attended. I feel confident being able to leave him in a safe environment where he is supported to grow and learn each day. The relationships with carers and peers that have developed are truly beautiful and he often expresses how much he cares for them even when he gets home. We feel lucky to have him at this centre!

Goodstart Carindale has been wonderful for our family. I’m amazed every single day when I collect my little boy and hear about everything he has learned, explored, and enjoyed. The educators put so much thought into learning through play, creating fun, engaging experiences that help the children grow with confidence. We’re so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication shown by the whole team.

After an amazing four years at Good Start Carindale with my son before starting school, we are so happy to be back with my second child. My daughters transition into daycare has been met with kindness, professionalism, connection and communication and has therefore resulted in such a smooth transition. The staff are dedicated to building safe, strong connections and go above and beyond in every aspect; their kindness as people is unmatched. My daughter has built a beautiful connection with her educators and happily goes to them at drop off. The entire team has been so welcoming, amazing effort from everyone as always!

We toured six different childcare centres before we chose Goodstart Carindale and we couldn’t be happier with our experience here! The educators across all three rooms are truly exceptional. Their depth of knowledge of the early learning curriculum is evident in everything they do, and the way they translate that into engaging, meaningful, play-based learning is incredible. Every activity feels purposeful, thoughtfully planned, and tailored to the children’s interests and developmental needs. It’s clear they genuinely understand how young children learn best. What we particularly value is how the centre communicates this learning to families. The Storypark updates are detailed, insightful, and incredibly reassuring as a parent. They go beyond just sharing what the children did - they clearly explain how play experiences are fostering STEM skills, building social and emotional development, or aligning with Montessori principles. It gives us such confidence that our children’s time there is both joyful and deeply enriching. Both of our daughters attend the centre and are absolutely thriving. They are confident, curious, and enthusiastic learners who genuinely look forward to seeing their teachers and friends each day. Watching their growth has been so reassuring and speaks volumes about the environment the team has created. The smaller size of the centre has also been a huge advantage for our family. Our eldest has built relationships not just within her room, but across the entire centre. Every staff member - from educators to management - knows our children, understands their strengths, and supports their individual development. That level of connection and consistency is something we deeply value. The management team is equally impressive. They are approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to continuous improvement of their staff and the quality of care provided at GSC. They actively welcome feedback and act on it quickly and thoughtfully, which has strengthened our trust and partnership with the centre. Overall, this is an outstanding early learning centre. The care, professionalism, and passion of the entire team shine through in every interaction. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community and could not recommend Goodstart Carindale highly enough to other families.

We are so happy with our experience so far at Goodstart Carindale. One of our sons has had some trouble with change, group settings and being away from mum and dad, but since day one at Goodstart he was accepted and treated with kindness. He has built a rapport with Miss Kali, I haven't seen this before outside of our home =) The staff genuinely care about his progress and want him to succeed- he's not put in the too hard basket, he's been shown love, acceptance, routine, respect, boundaries and time has been taken to understand him and how he learns. We have seen great progress in his learning already this year. Both of our boys love coming to school each week =)

Thank you for your exceptional care of my son

This is a very good place, and I reckon you send your child here but can you please empty your mailbox? It’s overfilling and going over .

I cannot recommend Good start Carindale highly enough! Our experience here has been nothing short of amazing. My toddler genuinely loves her teachers and has formed so many wonderful friendships with the other children. Since starting, we have seen a remarkable improvement in her speech and table manners, which speaks volumes about the curriculum and the care the staff puts into social development. I also really appreciate the consistent updates I receive regarding her progress; it gives me such peace of mind knowing exactly how she is doing throughout the day. We are so grateful to the entire team for providing such a nurturing and educational environment
