Goodstart Early Learning Labrador - Olsen Avenue

Most families describe a deeply nurturing centre where children thrive emotionally and developmentally, with educators who are warm, experienced, and genuinely invested in each child's journey. Staff continuity is exceptional (many 10-30 years tenure). Yet two serious reviews allege rough handling and physical discipline of toddlers, including shaking and forceful throwing. While the volume of praise is overwhelming, these complaints about toddler room practices warrant attention given the centre's own claim to provide safe, supportive care.

Families repeatedly credit Kindy House with creating a warm, nurturing environment where children flourish. Staff retain long-term and staff including directors Rachael and Kim receive personal praise for their genuine care, while multi-year enrollments and transitions across age groups run smoothly. Beyond daily childcare, the centre's vacation care and before/after-school programs stand out as strengths. Parents note the cottage setting, outdoor space, and play-based learning approach. One family specifically praised staff support for a child with special needs, and many describe the experience as transformative for their children's confidence and development.
