We took the best decision to send our son to Best Start Melling and would always recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, inclusive and caring day care center. As parents we initially had our son at home care and would constantly be stressed and worried about him and how his day is going. Ever since he joined this centre we’ve been a lot more confident, stress-free and happy about his progress. The team have always been open to all feedback, we were given a plan of action and have noticed that put into practice the very next day. Its great to see how proactive, open and responsive the team are to feedback. Highly recommended to all parents and a big shout out to all the staff, teachers and management at the Center.

We couldn’t be happier with Beststart Melling. The teachers are absolutely amazing, and the communication with families is excellent, we always feel informed and supported. The food provided is great, and there are always fun activities and celebrations for special occasions and other themed days, which our son loves. Since starting here, our son has learned so much and grown in confidence, social skills, and independence. It’s been so special watching him thrive in such a caring and fun environment. We truly couldn’t have wanted more from a daycare and are so grateful for everything the team does. Highly recommend!
