I wasn't overly keen on the little one going to day care, those exhausting years ago. But then the little one started and I was needed to do drop off and pick up increasingly for a while. The staff have some sorta knack with kids. My treasure of a child helps them, even informs them of the time and how to go about the required tasks. They have almost become her second home. She has blossomed so much and learning so much about being a good person, sharing toys beds mat time what ever. Learning about compassion for her class mates. This centre has been the best choice for out little treasure mostly due to the staff their patience under standing and willingness to push for that next step in development. I don't know who will be saddest about the eventual moving on to school the staff the little one or the wife and I.

Our daughter has been enrolled at BSB for just over a year now and it is fair to say that she has loved every minute of it. From the moment she started attending BSB, her development has rocketed along. The confidence she has in herself and her willingness to push herself have increased tenfold and it has been amazing to watch. A large part of her development can be attributed to the wonderful staff at BSB. The center has a real family feel about the place and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. They treat our daughter like family and we know that she considers them to be part of her little family also. The staff have encouraged her to embrace her little personality which has resulted in a lot of growth and some pretty sweet dance moves. We highly recommend BSB to absolutely everyone who has a preschool aged child.

From the office staff through to the educators, BestStart Burnside have an incredible team who are passionate about their roles. They operate a caring and nurturing philosophy, and are very responsive to the childrens' needs. From my daughter's first visit, she has been warmly welcomed and the staff have been very accomodating and helpful. The facilities are great and the staff plan & engage the children in a variety of exciting activities. Highly recommend this centre, thank you for your awesome work!
