Starfish Early Learning Centre - Blackburn

Our daughter started at Starfish Springvale this year and absolutely loves it. The educators were very welcoming and kind from the get go. We would highly recommend.

Our son jumped into Cathy's arms on our initial walk through and just like that he had chosen where he wanted to be. We have been so happy with the love and care that every Educator has shown our son but especially those that work in the Guppies room. I cannot recommend highly enough.

We are so pleased to have found Starfish. The staff are extremely dedicated, caring and welcoming. Our little one is so happy and well cared for. The centre provides quality programs and a stimulating environment. Thank you!

This centre is fantastic. Both our children attend here with our eldest wrapping up at the end of the year and our youngest still with a few more years before he also starts school. We've never had the need to look elsewhere and loved the care and sense of community from the first day we started. The educators are all lovely and so caring and our children love them so much. The centre is run well, we highly recommend!!

My kids loves going to Starfish; the staff are just amazingly kind and they clearly enjoy their work.

Our child has been with starfish for almost a year now and I have to say that our experience at starfish is very pleasant. The educators are caring, accommodating to our child's needs and most of all they maintain a good communication with parents. Strongly recommend this centre.

My daughter joined Starfish when she was 6 weeks old. Being a first time mum and new to child care I was very apprehensive cautious about centres. I viewed over ten centres but none of them came close to Starfish. Tonii and the team were so helpful and I felt that the level of service and detail was excellent - they were an integral part of me being able to return to work full time and maintain my career without ever having to worry about the level of care and education my daughter was receiving. After one of their sites was sold we remained on however it became apparent very quickly that the new management were a far cry from the high level of professionalism we had become accustomed to - within 9 months we returned to Starfish, willing to travel a bit out of our way to ensure education, cleanliness, care and attention to detail weren't compromised.The communication from educators is clear and positive, and offeted daily. Any issue is raised swiftly, with regular feedback and updates on our child offered (they offer funny anecdotes and observations, not just updates when there is an incident) and it is always timely, never days later or without context/relevance. Management give regular and informative communication and are always pro-active. A strong sense of community is encouraged, with fundraising and charity days supported as well as cultural diversity explored and promoted.My daughter graduated Kinder this week and the Starfish team have played a massive role in shaping her character and emotional well-being, and her intelligence. We are sad to leave this chapter of our lives behind and will miss the roles the members of the team have played in our lives over the past five years. They have moved from being service providers to a second family. The team are second to none and I couldn't recommend the centres more highly.

Highly professional yet nurturing, this day-care facility is the place to leave your kids for care. My daughter flourished into a happier child and I give credit to this day-care for the great start in making her so affable.

Our son is absolutely loving Starfish and is so happy when he walks in of a morning. The staff are lovely and very caring. Highly recommend.

Starfish is a wonderful center with amazing teachers and staff. We could not be happier with our decision to send our children there.
