What our Best Start parents are saying…
Sharon WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After 14 months of regularly dropping off and picking up my grandson from this centre I want to say that it is always a pleasure to visit. The children all appear occupied and engaged with a wide array of activities. The staff always greet me and my grandson enthusiastically. My grandson is keen to go to “school “ and happy when I collect him to continue to play at whatever he’s doing. My compliments to a really good ELC. nathan phippsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing childcare centre!

Juan PortosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had such a great experience with BestStart – the team there is absolutely lovely and really go the extra mile to make the place feel like a second home. Our child settled in so quickly, and it’s easy to see how much love and effort they put into everything. What really stands out is the quality of the care and learning – everything from the meals to the activities is done on site with such attention to detail. The facilities are clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up, and you can tell the educators genuinely care about the kids. Our little one comes home happy, confident, and full of stories every day.

Jessica PortosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best start is by far a huge industry standout. The staff are engaged, enthusiastic , experienced and warm. We have had to move around these past 4 years due to a number of reasons, sadly there are some centers that are not 100 % focused on the kids or lacking in experience and staffing. This is not that place !!! The management team are phenomenal! The staff are phenomenal and I simply cannot fault this wonderful place. Our whole family is grateful for them. Our child is flourishing and we can rest at ease each day knowing this. What the team have accomplished in just a few months is nothing short of amazing !

We believe children are active participants in their learning journey. Our play-based curriculum nurtures curiosity, creativity, and confidence by valuing their interests, strengths, and individuality, helping them explore and grow every day.
