Good Start Early Learning Clarinda Is Simply the Best, My Daughter Has been coming here for about 2 years, The staff there are so kind and helpful, I apperciate all the educators that take the time to teach and help my daughter grow and to help her succeed, I feel my daughter is happy, healthy and more importantly loved, i highly recommed everyoone who has kids to go to CLARINDA GOOD START. P.S I Can't wait for my son to stArt.

Goodstart Clarinda is a great early learning centre with dedicated staff. Safety, education and most of all, fun, are what I want a childcare centre to prioritise and Goodstart Clarinda is exemplary at this.

We are so grateful to have our children attend Goodstart Clarinda. All childcare staff are very attentive to the needs of our daughters. In more recent times, we have had to make a lot of adjustments to the days our daughters attend childcare and the management and administration team have been very responsive and helpful throughout this process. The kindergarten staff have been very supportive in helping my daughter feel comfortable in her room. Our younger daughter, who is in the toddler room, happily waves goodbye to mum/dad each morning at drop off, with a smile on her face…that to me, says it all! Thank you Goodstart Clarinda! You are a wonderful team!

I can’t recommend this centre enough. Everything from the beginning of the year has been so easy with their help. We transitioned our 4 yr old for her last year of kinder and the educators are exceptional and have done amazing things to help her make strong connections and find her place. She has never come so far, so quickly. Excellent communication between all educators and parents. Amazing facilities and connections with community around them. Thank you Goodstart Clarinda, we wish we had found you sooner.

Such a fantastic centre, truly for the children. The educators really put the effort in to create relationships with children. They also proactively manage issues and keep parents up to date. The range if activities for kids is top notch. I am so impressed to see how well my son's learning is growing. I enjoy the personal updates I receive about my son at pick-up. The centre director is also very responsive and caters to your needs.

This review is a few years late but better late than never 😊 Today is the last day of childcare for my kids at this centre and I had to make sure I submit my review while everything is still so fresh. We started here when my older one was 14 months old (He is 3.5yrs old now). Before starting here, I had trialled another childcare, but I was not happy with that one at all. The issue with the other one was that if my child refused to eat, they didn’t feed him, and then would call us midday to pick him up as he was so hungry and had not eaten all day. Anyways, somehow I stumbled upon this centre and booked a tour. I went on the tour and was greeted by Parminder who showed us around. I asked her what would she do if my kid didn’t eat. And she said something so simple yet it made me cry happy tears. She said that she will try to offer different options to my son if he refuses to eat. And keep trying until he eats 😊 This was so so so important to me as a mother to know that my child will be looked after and will not go hungry all day. This was just one of the many things that I came across at the tour, that I immediately changed childcares at the earliest. And from there on we never looked back. The next day after joining the rating of this place became Excellent! And I was not surprised at all! My son was so happy since the day he started here. I won’t lie there were morning tears and all that, but I knew he was in a safe place. The educators are so nurturing and caring. They treat our kids like their own. Any feedback I had ever was taken onboard immediately with maturity. I never ever felt hesitant to pick up the phone and call to check on my child. And the best part is that this culture is top down, it starts from the Director, from Kash. She is a superstar!! Me and my husband always talk about how amazing Kash’s leadership is. She always has clear directions for everyone. There is a special bond between all the educators. They look after one another. This childcare is all about relationships. Every time I pick up my kids, it is hard for me to leave the place and get home in time, because I want to chat to everyone who has been on this journey with us. Of course some days I just have to leave in a hurry but it just never feels awkward here. Never! We were so happy with this centre, that for all these years we travelled nearly 30 mins one way (2 hours per day) for our child. As impractical as it was, I just could not imagine changing childcares. We even declined an offer we got at another childcare (after 3 years of being in waiting), even though it was a 5 mins walk from our place. We were so happy here that we decided to have another baby 😃 And that baby went straight to the Nursery room when he was 10 months old. And again, like with the first experience, we were so happy to see how well our second child adjusted here. The staff have supported me at every transition of my life. When I was pregnant, when I was getting back to work, when our family had a car accident…just always - no matter how big or small the matter was. I just had to share my life concerns and they would be ready to offer any support possible. And mind you, all practical support. As a family we are heartbroken to be leaving this centre, but have to because of unexpected family circumstances. Even through this last phase of the journey at the centre, we have been supported. My kids have formed some amazing bonds here with the educators and the children. I consider myself extremely blessed to have found this centre. And for my kids to have gotten all the love and memories they got along the way. I can’t imagine how life will be from here on for us as family. We will sorely miss the people we met, the community we belonged to and the feeling of extended family we got every day! I am grateful to each and every person who makes Goodstart Clarinda the perfect place that it is! Kash, Ritu, Sunil, Mamta, Sarika, Parminder, Sandeep, Mandeep, Nina, Shivangi, Shanaz, Joy, Navkiran, Anas, Lenny, Kylie, Sanchi, Monica...and many many more wonderful people <3

This is one of the best childcare early learning centre in Melbourne Victoria. The director, teachers , educators, carer and staffs from Clayton Goodstart and moved to this new Clarinda Goodstart centre. They are truly the kindest, hard word and dedication people with a lot of love and care for the children. I am a single father with three of my children all being care and love by this centre all these years. My children and I are so grateful to have this centre all these years( more than 10 years !) I still remember the day when I send my baby girl Nara to the centre when she is just few months old . My premature baby daughter, she born with just 1.2KG. But she was very well taken care and loved in this childcare centre ever since she was just a few months old baby until last year . She is happily attending prep in primary school this year . And also my other two boys 9 and 12 , they are all very happy growing up. As a single father for almost six years, I believe there is no words can express our gratitude toward the people in this childcare centre. But from the bottom of my heart, my children and I would like to say a big thank you to Kashmira the centre director , Sanaz, Parminder, Ritu, Sunil ,Sarika and all the educators and wonderful staffs in the centre. Your love ,kindness support , hard work and dedication to the children are truly appreciated.

Goodstart Clarinda has been an amazing place for both of my sons throughout their early years. They started in the baby room and completed their journey here at the end of 2024. The centre has always felt so warm and homely, creating a comforting and welcoming environment for the children. The educators are exceptional – knowledgeable, caring, and incredibly adaptable to each child’s needs. They go above and beyond to ensure the kids are happy, supported, and learning every day. It’s clear how much love and effort they put into their work, and it’s made a world of difference for our family. We are so grateful for the wonderful experiences and memories created at Goodstart Clarinda. Highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a nurturing and professional daycare!

Kash and her team at Goodstart Clarinda has been exceptional! They ensure children are in a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment. They communicate well and in a timely manner. Our child values the relationship he has established with his peers and with his educators, especially Sunil. We will miss everyone dearly as we move forward to primary school this year. I highly recommend this center! Thank you Goodstart clarinda!
