My children have been attending Goodstart Box Hill for the past five years, and it has truly been an amazing experience. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive, and dedicated, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive. Over the years, my children have developed confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning, and they’ve built wonderful friendships along the way. As they now move on to school, we are so grateful to the team at Box Hill for all their guidance, encouragement, and care. I recommend this centre to any parent looking for a safe, enriching, and loving place for their child.

My son has been at Goodstart Box Hill since he was 10 months old and is now 5, leaving for school at the end of this year. The team here is absolutely incredible, they truly feel like family. From the very beginning, the educators in the younger rooms were so loving and caring, and saying goodbye to these wonderful women will be so sad. In the Kinder and Preschool rooms, the staff have been outstanding; knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. My son comes home excited to share everything he’s learned, and it’s clear they’ve prepared him for school in the best way possible. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education he’s received. Highly recommend Goodstart Box Hill to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching environment!

Response from the owner 16 Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Amy. We are truly honoured to have been part of your son’s early learning journey from such a young age through to his transition to school. It means so much to hear that our centre has felt like family and that he has been supported, inspired, and well prepared for his next chapter. Our educators and staff take great pride in providing a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality learning environment, and your kind words mean a great deal to us. We wish your family all the very best as he begins school and thank you sincerely for your trust and recommendation.

We have been attending here for over 6 years now with all 3 kids attending over the years from the nursery and toddler rooms and into the kinder and preschool rooms. We have never had an issue and have been very happy with the care provided. The kids love it and are always so happy to be there, coming home so excited to tell us what they got to do that day. The staff and management are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and we couldn't ask for better care for our children.

Response from the owner 01 Oct 2025

Hi Nicole, thank you for sharing your experience. It is wonderful to hear that your family has been part of our centre for so many years and that all three of your children have thrived here. We are so glad the kids enjoy their days and come home excited to share what they’ve learned and experienced. Your kind words about our team mean a lot, and we truly value the trust you’ve placed in us over the years!
