About our centre

At BestStart Lakeside Village, we believe in developing strong, positive connections with children, families, and the community.


We create a nurturing and caring environment with a homely feel that provides children with a place to create memories, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. Our calm and safe learning environments cater to each child’s unique ability to explore, play, have fun, take risks, and make their own choices at their own pace. 

We value diversity and promote individuality by encouraging children to experience their culture through celebrations within the centre. We collaborate with families and the local community, such as inviting the local librarian to our centre to read to the children fortnightly.

We leave our boy there for the day, confident that he is in good hands, allowing us to spend the day with peace of mind. Additionally, the cleanliness of the premises is noteworthy."
