My eldest daughter attended Best Start Faringdon East for 4 years before heading off to school. My youngest daughter has now been attending for around 3 and a half years. The centre is always clean with great food prepared fresh daily for the children. It’s got my fussy children trying new things every day which is amazing! The rooms all have age appropriate activities that challenge the children’s learning each day. The Teachers and Centre Manager care about each child that comes into the centre and their families. You honestly feel like part of a family. Which is huge when your child spends so much of their time there. The Centre Manager is so genuine and caring and always has an open door for a chat with any parents coming through. It will be a sad day when my youngest goes off to school and we are no longer a part of the centre!
I couldn’t recommend Beststart Faringdon East enough , there stuff are truly amazing both my girls absolutely love it there , they have such a good set for school program in the older room which has helped my daughter so much lately and I’m truly greatful , they are always so welcoming when I drop the girls off in the mornings always helping me if drop off doesn’t go well there always happy to give them a cuddle to comfort them as I leave , I always enjoy all there cool art work and projects that come home and there always so proud to show me , this is such a great centre and have been here for 4 years with 2 kids there and have never had a problem there always accomodating with changes etc.we love Beststart Faringdon East with Jade and the amazing team there.
We’ve had a really good experience with this daycare. It has a very family-oriented feel and the staff have always been supportive and approachable. They even have a dog that visits the centre, which has been great for helping our son learn how to be around animals he normally wouldn’t have exposure to. Administration has always been helpful with any changes to our hours, and the centre manager is very on top of things. It is a larger centre so it’s not one-on-one care, but any concerns we’ve raised have always been taken seriously and managed appropriately to make sure our child has the best experience possible.
