Jody is an absolutely wonderful teacher at BestStart. She is caring, patient, and creates such a warm and welcoming environment for the children. You can really see how passionate she is about supporting each child’s learning and development, and the kids clearly adore her. Jody goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels included, safe, and happy. BestStart is so lucky to have such a dedicated and amazing teacher!
When sending my children to daycare I was extremely anxious. I had a 6 month old and 2 year old. I had been a stay at home mum for the full 2 years with my oldest and had the mum guilts about going back to work while my second was only 6 months old. I searched many daycares but as soon as I walked into Stokes Valley best start I knew this was the one. The staff warm and welcoming, making you feel like family rather than the people that pay their wages. The centre was clean. The range of activities, equipment and toys for the kids to play is huge! Drop offs each morning where you can actually speak with a teacher and let them know how your child is and feel like they actually take on board what you say. And pick ups getting updates on the child’s day. Bonus is Storypark updates during the day! Photos of their personal performances but also group activities. Both my children have been made to feel at home and I can see the bonds they have made with their teachers. I can’t not recommend Best Start Stokes Valley enough!
I moved my daughter to BestStart Stokes Valley after having a bad experience with a previous centre and have absolutely loved the centre since she been there. Vicky and her team have always gone up and beyond with my daughter. Always offering cuddles when she upset or needs them, helped her get on track with her development (as she was behind on something) and booster confidence on somethings. Highly recommend it
