My daughter loves going to daycare everyday and is so happy. She had so much fun and her learning in development goals are cared for.

### null review (5/5)

I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the exceptional care and nurturing environment provided by BestStart Long Bay Childcare. From the moment we enrolled our baby Owen, we felt a sense of comfort and trust in the dedicated and professional staff. The teachers are incredibly attentive and genuinely care about each child’s development and well-being. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes drop-offs a breeze. Owen has blossomed under their care, he really looks forward to going there every day! The facilities are top-notch, with a variety of engaging and educational activities that keep the children stimulated and happy. The outdoor play area is a particular highlight, offering a safe and fun space for the kids to explore. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and photos that keep us informed about Owen’s activities and milestones. The staff is always approachable and willing to discuss any concerns or questions we may have. Overall, BestStart Long Bay Daycare has exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their child.
