Goodstart Early Learning Alfred Cove

We started at Goodstart Alfred Cove in 2018 and are about to finished with the youngest now in 2024. I was hesitant about daycare at first, but like many people had no choice. However sending them to Goodstart Alfred Cove is one of the best decisions I made for my kids. Their social skills were developed greatly, they love the educators, and one thing I really noticed at Alfred Cove specifically while we were there was there was low turnover of staff, which judging from comments from other friends is unusual in daycare. So staff who were there when my eldest started are still there today. The learning is all play based which I felt strongly about in children under 5, and I never saw or felt there was ever any pressure for them to do anything they didn't want to in terms of formal learning. But please don't misunderstand, there is structure to the day so they kids learn to get into a routine. My youngest also now loves eating black beans, so that's a massive win I've really appreciated everything that Lorraine and the team have done for me and my girls over the last 7 years and while my youngest is super keen to join primary school full time next year, I know we will all miss the staff who have been so great. On the few occasions I needed to deal with the central office in Queensland for admin type matters, that wasn't great to be honest, their manner left much to be desired but I quickly learned that there was little Lorraine and the team couldn't work out if you brought it to them. Thanks all at Goodstart Alfred Cove, we will miss you!
