3 Best Preschools in Cairns QLD

I am so grateful and can see how my daughters are developing beautifully everyday at small steps. The teachers are so lovely and they take care of them very well. They put lot of effort and are well aware of tiny development in my child. I am Very pleased with daycare with amazing staffs.

I absolutely love how supportive the community at small steps are. All the educators and staff are kind, compassionate and will only have your child's best interests at heart. Both my children absolutely love this center with my oldest begging to go for vaccination care in the holidays. I can not express enough how grateful I am to have the caring support of these amazing people.

Our little one LOVES coming to 'school' (as we call it). She's formed some great connections with the educators and the other little kids. The way she lights up when we arrive in the mornings and is still smiling when we pick her up in the afternoons is a testament to how great Small Steps really is - and it's all thanks to the amazing educators. How much they care about the kids and nurturing their learning really shows, it's amazing how many new things she learns each week and is so excited to bring home and show and tell the family. Can't speak highly enough of Small Steps.

Brinsmead Goodstart is an amazing centre! My son has been attending for 7 months now and he is absolutely thriving. The admin staff are always so friendly and welcoming, tend to any queries I have straight away even if they are busy. They are also often out in the yard doing activities with the kids which I think is great! The educators are the absolute best, they are caring and thoughtful to my son and always make me feel reassured when I’m leaving and he’s upset. He has just moved to an older room so he now knows lots of the teachers and I can see the confidence he has grown since being at this centre. They take on board anything I have requested, they always check in via text or storypark to let me know how his day is going and they always communicate at pick up how his day has gone etc. I couldn’t recommend this centre more.

My son has been attending Goodstart Brinsmead for 7 months now and I'm very happy with the center. His educators are always planning new activities and they are also very caring. I feel confident in leaving him on their care. The admin team is also great and had always been very good in trying to accommodate our requests (which/ how many days a week, occasional extra day etc). Communication has been good too, and I feel they are always open for conversation, and are empathetic with my first mum feelings.

Our son started at Goodstart Brinsmead this year in the toddlers room and I can honestly say we have all never been happier. This centre is amazing! Zoe, Sasha, Ellie are such friendly faces when you arrive and then our son's primary daycare educators, Alex and Hana are the absolute best and truly feel like an extension of our family. We were nervous as first time parents at the start but we felt so reassured with the constant communication from the team. The updates each day with the collection of photos and recap of what they did and learnt for the day is so cute! The outdoor area is amazing, our son never wants to leave when we go to pick him up haha! If you are looking for a daycare, please put your name on the waitlist for Goodstart Brinsmead. It is 1000% worth it. Highly recommend.

Best daycare ever!! Nowhere else even compared to the natural way that they approach learning with so many animals and outdoor space for them to explore, play and grow Both of my children have been at the centre since they were babies and we will be sad next year when they will both be at school. Thanks so much to all the staff that have cared for my kids We will never forget you.

My children have been attending Natural Beginnings Childcare for 3.5 years. I love the outdoor learning experiences that the children are exposed to. My children come home talking about their day with such excitement and are asking to go back the next day! Amazing daycare and great staff that ensure you feel welcomed every morning with a breakfast offered every morning! Highly recommend this centre.
