Additional Centre Information

Lauren Jacobs

Centre Director

My name is Lauren. I have been working for Goodstart Early Learning since 2006. I hold my Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services.

I am very passionate about working within the Early Years sector and providing a high-quality care for all children from birth to five, and love seeing the children grow and develop through the first five years of their life, which are so important.

My aim is to create a warm and caring environment for your children, as it is my belief that children achieve their optimum development when they feel secure, loved and free to explore and express themselves.

I look forward to working with the educators, families and the community to build a Centre that is united and full of engaging educational experiences for all children our care

I regret leaving this daycare but because we had to move 30mins away we had to find somewhere closer. I have not once questioned wether my childs being taken care of when he use to go to goodstart sydenham. They took well care of him and were always up to date with everything. Staff were lovely and my son has never had any accidents.. If they somehow had moved closer to where I am i wouldnt hesitate to put him back. 🤍

Been trying to get my bubs in since last year, did the online tour, got the forms emailed to me replied with questions to get not response back, went in last week look around got the forms rang Monday with questions still waiting for a call back, I'll know be looking for another daycare centre as Im meant to be starting back work on Monday the lady I spoke to face to face new I needed them in by the end of this week told me she would ring that day with a starting date no call and now no follow up of anything extremely poor form makes me wonder what else they don't follow up, definitely not sending my baby's there.

When trying to decide on a centre for my first child I went to a few centres. When B1 entered this centre he immediately wanted to crawl around the nursery room and started to play with one of the children. Very professional, welcoming and if your child has special dietry requirements (as B2 does) they are so helpful. I have not worried one day since the first day dropping B1 off, and now both B1 and B2 enjoy the friendly staff who treat them like their own. The centre is very culturally diverse and the excursions, incursions and Magic Jenny, add to the diversity of the centre. The ability to agree or not want your child/ren to attend is also comforting. The upgrade to the playgrounds/rooms makes it even more appealing. My boys love attending Goodstart Sydenham. I'd love to learn how to cook like Jasna as my boys tend to have two helpings of lunch, and yet at home they tend to be extremely fussy. I don't have to worry that they are not getting all the nutrition they require.
