We had a really positive experience with Goodstart McDowall, even though our time there was short due to an unexpected move. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly welcoming and made us feel like part of their community. Our son settled in quickly thanks to the caring educators. It was clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and are passionate about what they do. We were really impressed by the communication, the activities, and how smoothly everything was run. Although we weren’t able to stay long, we’re so grateful for the support and kindness we received. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this centre to any family looking for a safe, friendly, and professional childcare experience! Read more

We have been with GoodStart McDowall the past 3.5 years, and can't thank the team enough for the care and support they provide to our two little ones and us as parents over the years. We have found the team are consistent, provide a warm, engaging and welcoming environment for our children and are attentive to our children's learning and needs from Nursery right through to Kindergarten. Alannah and the team have made us feel a part of their family and have helped us with reducing anxiety when it comes to leaving our children in their care. We know our kids are safe and having fun, are being fed with nutritious meals each day. We enjoy seeing the regular communications about what the kids have been up to each day and are amazed at how much our oldest in particular has learnt from time spent at GoodStart McDowall.

We had our 3yo (then 2yo) transition here from another center due to our move a year back, and with him being quite the reserved and shy personality that he is, I was surprised at how quickly he got comfortable & emotionally attached to some of the educators here. I'm happy with the attention and learnings my child gets here. Via the app pictures & updates, I can see all how engaged he is throughout the week. Communication is also top-notch. We also appreciate how incredibly safe and open the facility is. We are so glad to have found this wonderful center for our child. Read more

I have 4 children (which means I have been many childcare centres) and my youngest started childcare 6 months ago at Goodstart. This is okay childcare if you have no other option but I am moving my child to another centre due to high staff turnover and frequent changes of educator which makes my child not wanting to go as he has to face new person too often.
