I have been terrified of daycares for as long I can remember but this daycare has erased all my worries. My twins have gone here for 3 years almost and everyone that works there is better than family to us. I have never known people who take care of strangers kids like they are their own and penfield does just that. My kids and I know everyone's names and we love every single person there. Thank you to everyone who works there. You are amazing people. You saved my sanity, my kids sanity, helped them learn in ways I have no idea about or can't do, but most of all thank you for being the amazing people you are and loving and taking care of my twins like they are yours. You have changed our lives forever for the best. Thank you so much I have no idea what I would do without you lovely people.

My 3 children attended Goodstart at Penfield and I couldn't ask for a better childcare centre for my children. The care and education that my children were given A+ and even having a special needs child they were always there for him and caring for him. I appreciated everything that the director and staff did for my children. They always enjoyed going and had lots of fun also. Highly recommend Goodstart at Penfield. Thank you Nicole McNeill.
