We are so grateful to all the wonderful teachers and staff at BestStart Bader. From day one we could tell our children are truly cared for and having a lot of fun while they learn and grow. We especially appreciate the delicious, healthy, nutritious meals you serve, it gives us great confidence to know they’re being well-looked after in every way. Thank you to the whole team for making our children feel safe, happy and excited to come each day!Thank you so much, our dear Teachers!🤎

I liked this daycare at first.
My kids enjoyed it and they were fed well. But the first problem was a teacher refusing my child food.
That was resolved and then my daughter came home saying a relief teacher smacked her little brother for not wanting a nappy change.
The next problem was hidden fees they advertise 4years get 30 hours free. My children went for 30 hours per week the daycare was receiving 20hours ECE from work and income and they still tried to charge me when I was not meant to be paying them at all.
Once I removed my children from this childcare, one of the teachers were showing photos of my kids to other people outside of the daycare and talking inappropriately luckily I knew the person and word got back to me
Don't recommend this place one bit
