Google Business Profile is the source for the business data shown here, last checked 2026-09-08.

What do customers say?

Five-star reviewers credit the service with identifying domestic abuse and protecting children in crisis; one-star reviewers (mostly from people describing themselves as affected parents) allege the centre removes children unjustly, ignores parent concerns, and places them inappropriately with foster carers. Evidence is heavily polarised, with no middle ground.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Goodstart Early Learning Labrador - Olsen Avenue

4.7(29)✓ Google-verified

Most families describe a deeply nurturing centre where children thrive emotionally and developmentally, with educators who are warm, experienced, and genuinely invested in each child's journey. Staff continuity is exceptional (many 10-30 years tenure). Yet two serious reviews allege rough handling and physical discipline of toddlers, including shaking and forceful throwing. While the volume of praise is overwhelming, these complaints about toddler room practices warrant attention given the centre's own claim to provide safe, supportive care.
