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!

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.

With all the news that’s been going on ATM with the Australian childcare industry, we are so glad that we found this one. My kid loves it here. Settled in well even in the first week he started. Now he smiles to the educators every morning during drop-off, no fuss when we leave the room. That says it all! The educators were caring and very flexible with his routines, given he is going through teething and can be unsettled during feed. They know what they are doing, and they do it with love. Highly recommend this centre.

My daughter absolutely loves this childcare center. She joined when she was three years old. The supportive environment and attentive staff make it a truly exceptional place. Additionally, the center has a spacious outdoor area, providing ample opportunities for children to engage in enjoyable outdoor activities. Without a doubt, this is a fantastic center.

My son has a very good relationship with his educators and we are happy here. The staff turnover is non existent since we started and the educators seem to understand that every child is an individual and do their best to accommodate to each child’s needs.

My two sons went here. The rooms are way too large. Almost chaotic. Our 3 year old we moved eventually to Kingswood College because he managed to bite off a clay model and the staff were to busy cleaning for closing instead of watching him. Our second son we put him in the baby room in March 2022 when he was 9 months old. The lady in charge of the room, Hannah, would never allow me to come in to see him during pick up. Although Hannah kept the lines of communication open regularly, I did not think she managed him well. The few times the Director let me in, I observed him being completely secluded from the other infants just because he was developmentally behind. Also, after 3 months of him being there we were told by his pediatrician to remove him due to malnutrition. This facility believes in isolating developmentally behind children instead of keeping them with others to learn, and grow. Highly recommend to find another daycare. We eventually found another daycare where he is absolutely thriving and they allow us in regularly to see him and there is no need of regular communication because we are part of the family and can sit outside and really watch what’s going on!

My son started at Goodstart earlier this year in the nursery room, with eating and drinking difficulties. We are so very happy and grateful to have come across such a wonderful nursery staff team who kept open lines of communication, and were attentive, and spent extra time with my son to help keep him hydrated and get him interested in food. We celebrated every win together; I got excited phone calls from staff when he ate a meal at childcare. When he struggled with drinking water, Hannah would hand squeeze an orange and give my son orange juice to drink. When he didn't eat his main meals, Joy would give him snacks thoughout the day, separate to the other children so he would at least have something in his belly. And when I pick him up, I would get blow by blow descriptions of his eating and drinking and other behavioural achievements from Lin. The nursery staff have been my de facto counsellors as I struggled and worried over a son who did not eat and drink like the other kids. They have shown so much patience and kindness and have really gone very much above and beyond for our family. We are so so grateful. The front desk team have been fantastic and friendly to deal with also. Kate, the director, is hands on and knows every nursery child's name and jumps in to help wherever she is needed. Irene is so warm and wonderful as she guides you through waitlists and booking days and making changes thereafter. My husband and I are so so incredibly lucky to have found a day care centre with experienced, conscientious and long term staff who work so well together like a beloved well oiled machine! I could not have more praise and trust in a child care centre to leave your baby's care to.

Dedicated long term staff ✅ Clean and tidy environment ✅ Friendly atmosphere ✅ Great outdoor spaces and plenty of outdoor play time ✅ Long hours ✅ Nappies ✅ Meals ✅ Easy parking ✅ Our child has come leaps and bounds both intellectually and behaviourally thanks to the great educators here. Highly recommend.
