Additional Centre Information

Nancy Sood

Centre Director

Hi, I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Cowandilla. I joined the centre in September 2022 as Assistant Director. Here’s a little bit about myself.

I am bringing with me an extensive 10+ years of experience in early childhood learning. Prior to joining the childcare industry, I was a full-time mother and that sparked my interest in working with children. I have one daughter who is studying in high school, and I also have a beautiful fur baby (Simba).

I was born and brought up in India and moved to Australia in 2008 with my husband and daughter. Life has not been easy, but I have learnt that hard work always pays off and never goes unnoticed. I have a Master’s in computers, but my passion lies with children. 

I love to go out for retail therapy whenever I get time - not something my husband likes to do! I also like to travel to new places.

It is an honour to lead the dedicated team at Goodstart Cowandilla. I look forward to working with all the amazing families and to create an inclusive environment for children and the staff. I believe that the environment around us always plays a great role in shaping our personality and psychological wellbeing and it is my aim to create this environment in our centre.

I would love the opportunity to show you through our beautiful centre and answer your questions.

The educators have taken such good care of my child and have great communication, especially when my child first started. I can call any time to ease any anxiety I might have and have always been met with kindness.
Our daughter loves going to Goodstart Cowandilla. She's been there from 2022 and ever since she loves to go there. Educators Fayaza, Shika, Robyn and Om were very helpful in taking care of the kids. Admin people are very responsive and kind. I will certainly recommend Good Start Cowandilla.

My two boys attend Goodstart Cowandilla and have since the centre opened. The centre and the team of educators are fantastic! My children have always struggled at morning drop off time but the educators take the time to help them feel comfortable and adjust every single morning. The educators post regularly on the Storypark app so I can see how their days are progressing and what they are up to. Both boys love their teachers and have a great little group of daycare friends to play with. It’s a fun place, with a great vibe where my kids feel safe and happy every day. Highly recommend.
My little one has been there for almost two years! They are like a family, and I couldn’t be happier with their kindness and care! Always walk the extra mile and adjust to our requests and needs. I love their positive behaviour approach and really appreciate how Shikha and Om have made a difference in my child’s life. Thank you so much, Goodstart Cowandilla, for looking after my precious do well.

We have two little guys that go here. Our oldest has been there right through from room 1 to room 6. We love all of the educators and wish we could sing all of their praises. But, we really want to thank Om and Shikha. They really have had a huge and positive influence on our eldest. They constantly teach compassion, respect, and honesty, and we can't recommend this centre enough.

We were worried when we first sent him to childcare, but I am now feeling much better as the staff is very friendly and they communicate everything to us. It feels like a second home to our son, and definitely recommend this centre to others. My son is Lucas Tran

I have had the most amazing experience with Priya Dave in LS1 as the repour she has with my little one is undeniably beautiful... I was extremely upset leaving my youngest at first but grew so comfortable and at ease with leaving my baby with this angelic soul..
Google ReviewSeptember 04, 2023
I was so nervous sending my son to a new childcare, however, goodstart cowandilla eliminated my worries from the first orientation. The educators in his learning space and the other educators are so wonderful. I am confident he is enjoying his day and learning new things. Lovely, helpful staff :)
