My daughter has been at Goodstart Carina for a year now and we couldn’t be happier. The educators are so friendly, caring, and supportive, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. My daughter has grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and always looks forward to her days there.

We’ve had an amazing experience at this childcare center for the past two years. As new immigrants, we were initially anxious about how our child would adapt, but the staff made the transition incredibly smooth by allowing parents to accompany their children during the settling-in period. Although the center is small, the warm and friendly atmosphere makes it feel like home. The educators are fantastic—Miss Tracy, Miss Lana, and Miss Ashleigh in the Toddler Room, as well as Miss Nicole, Miss Jing, and Miss Kim in the Kindy Room, are all wonderful. They genuinely care for the children and provide a nurturing environment for learning and growth. A special shoutout to the director, Miss Hannah, who truly stands out. She is exceptionally patient, passionate, and kind, treating every child with genuine care and warmth. We are so grateful for the love and dedication shown by the entire team. Highly recommend this childcare to anyone looking for a safe and supportive place for their children!

Our girls have been attending Goodstart Carina for two years. Great centre, terrific long-term staff, good communication.

We recently relocated interstate and I was really worried about not being able to place our children in full time care. Goodstart Carina initially advised me they could only do 3 days for my youngest son who is in a room that is in high demand. Within a day, the centre came back to me and were able to offer me full time care for both of my boys. The fact that the staff went above and beyond for me made it a no brainer when accepting the offer! We have come from centres where my son was bullied so drop offs have been hard. I have never seen my son settle in and make friends so quickly and has the confidence to leave my side at drop offs which is an unusual feeling. Educators really care about the kids and make them feel included and help build their confidence. I've often seen some lovely conversations happen between my son and the educators of a morning. There is a low turnover here which helps the children build bonds. Such a wonderful centre with great staff including the Director who I find very friendly and approachable.

My son has been attending this daycare for a year now and loves being here! We moved from another daycare in the area and found that just because a place is newer and more expensive, it doesn't mean it is better. We love that at Goodstart, the staff are consistent; they treat the children like their own, and they are always striving to improve. My son is always happy here and can't stop talking about the things he has done at daycare. Thank you to all the educators here and the amazing work they do!🩷

One teacher, about 25 kids. My son then came home with a pocket full of rocks. The state manager handled it like a true grub! This centre is not up to scratch with the national standards of care and should b closed down

My daughter has been there for a year, from 15 months to 26. We can’t thank the wonderful team enough for their support and love they have for our child. The special bond our girl has with the educators is truly beautiful. Our daughter can’t wait to go in the mornings, with so many fun and educational activities organized for them, it’s every child’s dream as well as ever parents wish to have their child looked after and loved just as you would. Great work team!!!

Couldn’t be happier with the care and education our daughter is receiving at Goodstart Carina. The centre is so well organised and run, and the staff are always actively engaged in providing experiences for the children. Highly recommend to families in the area looking for a childcare centre.

Goodstart Carina has been a great learning environment for our daughter to thrive. She was enrolled there for two years and attended kindy program. She enjoyed the play based learning activities and interactions with her peers and educators. The teachers are very friendly, professional, attentive to children's needs and caring. They send us daily food and event updates which allows us to stay more involved in the process. Overall, this childcare offers such a homely and positive environment for the kids. You are always welcomed with a big smile and warmth. This Centre will be a recommended choice for parents who look for quality early learning for their children.
