Goodstart Early Learning Port Road Cheltenham

My daughter absolutely loves attending Goodstart. The educators take such great care of her, and she has learnt so much during her time there. They are great at communicating what the children have been up to each day. Would highly recommend this centre to anyone in the area :)

I cannot praise this centre enough! The care provided here is EXCEPTIONAL.I have been to multiple childcares now in order to find the right one and finally I can say I have never had a better experience. Each child's learning is approached to your child's individual needs, they take their time to ensure theyre treated as an individual and not just another number. The approach is treated as a family and you can only praise and praise how much effort is put into their learning approach and welcoming, warm atmosphere. No matter the area each teacher willl welcome you with open arms (even if they dont have your child as in their room) I know each and every day my son is in good hands. Kate's approach to pre school education program is exceptional and each day my son comes home with something new hes learnt and nothing but a smile. No matter the problem, big or small they will inform you of your child's day and keep you up to date of everything instead of leaving it till the end of the day, you know they care. Are flexible and always willing to accommodate to your last minute bookings or swap around with bookings. Keep doing all that you guys do because your hard work does not go unnoticed!

Goodstart had has some difficult times in the recent past, but I'm glad to say the new director, along with help from the friendly staff, has turned the place around and it is now somewhere I am once again very pleased to send my son. Good facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and usually a good number of updates via app so we can see what's been happening each day. My son always comes home happy. We will be sending out second boy there as well when the time comes.

Goodstart early learning at Cheltenham has been great since my daughter started going at about 9 months old, now 2 years old.She has developed so much as a person , speaking well , sharing with other children. The educators have been amazing through my daughters toilet training. I have always received great communication at pick ups.

Goodstart Cheltenham Review:Goodstart claims ‘We’re for children, not profit’, however, will not support a permanent three week rotating roster. So, if you’re working in emergency services or work shift work do not even attempt to go here. The Centre Director at this stage seeks permanent bookings. Care for your child is secondary to making sure they’ve got their numbers. We were welcomed with open arms during COVID as their numbers were down. As soon as they became busier they ‘couldn’t support our casual bookings’. Was told they would consider some of our bookings but after 2 weeks I gave up waiting. Also, be sure to tell them about every allergy your child has - write it, tell each staff member. We never received any paperwork during the 4 months at the Centre so used their recommended apps (Xap and Storypark) to furnish meticulous details about our child, including allergies. Because of ‘systems, you know how systems are’ our child was given egg. He had a rash over his body for 4 days, diarrhea and I had to take time off work to care for him - all whilst paying for the pleasure!!!! Considering I could tell them what I’m working 50 years from now and paying for a 12 hour day (only using 8hrs). They have ostracized our situation and the care for our child. Their negligence has compromised his safety. The Centre itself is beautiful and spacious and carers are generally friendly. But, be warned. They are not necessarily for children. They are for profit.

With 2 children attending - I love seeing photos of them playing and learning.It’s always a scary experience leaving children for the first time but I found them great with transitioning to begin their early learning.I absolutely love the communication books they have started doing, an the app to keep up me up to date with what they have been learning, any questions or general information about Goodstart.

My son went here and my baby girl started here when she was one and half years and now she is 4 and half She always ready to go. She loves all educators. If someone is on leave then she always let me know about her. She is learning many things like drawing painting n alphabets. I always prefer to everyone Goodstart is the best I know. Highly recommend.

I was feeling a little anxious at the end of last year with so many familiar friendly staff members leaving the centre. My son Kobe started back this year fresh to the toddler room. He loves it ❤ The staff have been amazing & super helpful to him (& me) in this transition. Their communication has been excellent with me & there is nothing better than having your little boy excited to walk himself into his room in the morning!
