  I have found the Goodstart Hawthorne to be a great centre for my son. The teachers have a caring nature and give your children the required comfort they need throughout the day. This has made it easier for me to leave my son. The kids have large play areas inside and out which is great! Thank you!

  A great, nurturing environment for children. The carers and educators are experienced & caring, you can see their genuine passion about children’s education. The centre is clean with spacious outdoor play areas, a veggie patch & chooks. I love that it’s play based learning as well. I have seen my son blossom and grow during his time there, first in long daycare and now in preschool. He loves his teachers & carers, and has made some wonderful friendships. He learns so much and I love that their focus on school readiness is not limited to academic achievement but on a more holistic approach - improving a preschooler’s ability to do things independently & communication skills with peers & adults so they can navigate prep confidently. PS I felt it necessary to address the review about the children going to the Centre & getting scrapes. In my humble opinion, I think children will have accidents and/or minor scrapes when they play. It will happen at the Centre no more frequently than it would if your child is under your own care (provably even less than in other care centres) as this is part of a young child’s learning journey. Any incidence is addressed promptly as appropriate (I get a call immediately or a report at day end pickup) & I’ve observed the children treated with care & cuddles whenever they have a fall or scrape.

  A lovely, caring and natural environment. My girls love the chickens and birds they have at the centre. The teachers are all so lovely and extremely caring and nurturing to all children. We also love that the centre’s learning for the children is play based.

  As new parents, we had no experience with Daycare Centers. It was difficult to choose a centre. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for. Our daughter is being cared for by people that truly care about her and want to see her to well in life. We love to hear and look at photos daily about the things that she is experiencing and learning. We appreciate very much that the educators are teaching and not just "watching" her. Everyone at Goodstart in Hawthorne are very caring and lovely. My little girl gets so excited every Monday to go to her daycare.

  A fabulous centre, my daughter adores all the staff who are incredibly patient and kind with her. Feedback and communication with parents is excellent, I love seeing all the stories about what she and her friends have done during the day. They have chickens and a great veggie garden which I think is fantastic for the kids. We have had nothing but a wonderful experience here!!!
