I'm just so impressed by this Daycare. This is our first kid and signing up we knew nothing and didn't know what to expect from a daycare. We signed up to all of the other providers in town and waited.
A spot here opened up and we took it, a couple weeks later the offers of spaces from other daycares started coming in, ones that were closer to our house or work and others that we initially liked more.
What stopped us from swapping to a more convenient daycare were the people who show up everyday for our daughter. The staff here are quite literally the best people and I'm super comfortable leaving my daughter with them, they have a high level of care not only for our kid but their jobs. You can see it everyday in how attentive they are. I just can't recommend this spot more. Thank you for taking such good care of our little grub!

The teachers at BestStart Pinnacles Kindergarten are absolutely amazing! They are so supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and happiness. My daughter absolutely loves attending—she comes home smiling every day and always talks about the fun things she’s learned and the friends she’s made. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for her early learning journey. Highly recommend!

Pinnacles has always been a wonderful centre, and we’ve had such a positive experience over the last 3+ years. Since the new Centre Manager has come on board, we’ve noticed even more attention to the children’s daily experiences, with exciting new activities and celebrations. Each public holiday is made special with beautiful decorations, themed experiences, and fun, relevant celebrations, it’s fantastic to see how much thought and creativity goes into making things so fun and memorable for the children.

The staff are truly wonderful, so caring, attentive, and always greeting the children (and parents!) with warm smiles. It’s clear they genuinely care about each and every child. We are so grateful to the incredible team at Pinnacles for creating such a nurturing, exciting environment for our little ones to thrive.
