### null review (5/5)

Ever since my baby girl started with BestStart Botany Road 1 year ago, she has been absolutely happy. Not once cried when dropping her off and always happy to see her teachers. It warms my heart to see how she does not want to go home in the afternoons. The teachers are really friendly and very helpful.

As my baby is my first child i was very anxious leaving her at school, but BestStart Botany and all the teachers there made this a super easy transition for me as well as for my baby!!

Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable school to send their babies/ kids!

Thanks you guys! You are all appreciated in so many ways!

BestStart Botany Road has been such a special place for our family. Both of our daughters truly enjoyed being part of this centre. The teachers are caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in the children, and the staff are always warm and welcoming. We always felt valued, supported, and cared for. Diversity is embraced and respected, making it feel like a true community. Kudos to the amazing team for the love and care they give every day. 💛

Best Start Botany Road is a wonderful childcare centre with a caring and supportive team. The staff listen to parents and also understand the needs of the children. They provide a safe, positive, and nurturing environment, which is exactly what we want for our child.
The manager, Philomena, is excellent. She is kind, professional, and always approachable. She manages the centre very well and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Communication is clear, and she always listens and responds with care. Her leadership creates a welcoming and well-organised centre.
My child is very happy here and has built a strong bond with Bron, Savita, and the other staff. This shows how comfortable and well cared for my child feels every day.
