Your director is quick to email when a direct debit fails, but can’t reply to a simple email. Before I cancelled my child’s enrolment today I was still waiting for a reply to an email from the 23rd of April. Also having a dog in the centre, let alone the Childrens room is a bit far fetched. Maybe keep the household pet out of the Childrens rooms. You say you are a sustainable centre, yet advised the parents to bring in plastic bottles for an activity? Where does that align with “sustainability”? Having glass items for paint in the rooms when one got smashed and “nicked” my child’s finger, but not realising and taking into account a parent bringing it up, and the what ifs of a more serious event to occur regarding one getting broken? That got brushed off with “where a sustainable centre”. You can still be sustainable but find safer alternatives. I should have realised and listened to others about Goodstart and that it was a terrible idea before sending my child there. He didn’t benefit anything from it other than getting hurt, being harassed and having his items taken off of him by other kids and not giving them back.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Goodstart Doncaster East! All the educators here are incredibly attentive and have been with the center for a long time, which made our child's transition to childcare so smooth. Our little one loves going to childcare because every educator is so kind and attentive. It's impressive how everyone knows each other by name, creating a warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommend this wonderful center!

If you can get your child in to this childcare and kinder you will be very lucky! My only regret is not enrolling my older child here. My daughter has been attending GS DE for 3yrs and there’s not a single day that I’ve dropped her off and had a concern. It so so reassuring to know that my daughter is in safe and caring hands. She absolutely thrives here and has no doubt learnt a lot. She has built beautiful friendships and I know that she is always valued and cared for by the educators as well as the other children. The very rare turnover of staff and the happiness they all exude is a testament to the tight ship Eileen runs! I love all of the staff. I’ve never had a run in or concern about any of them. The communication is great with daily photos and updates on what the kids are up to. The facilities are all clean and modern. I will always look back on her time there with fondness and great appreciation for the love and care she has received.
