Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham

This used to be a fabulous centre. They still have some fantastic educators, however, since Julia Foldes has taken over from the previous sensational manager it's gone downhill on an incomprehensibly fast trajectory and many of the fantastic staff have left (and it's not hard to see why and the negative effect she's had on the remaining staff). You used to see management in the office daily and bubbly happy educators. You will now go months without seeing anyone in the office at all. There appears to be no one running the centre, communication is poor and the previously bubbly staff have seeming lost all enjoyment in the centre. They have overfilled the centre with kids to the detriment of others who have been there for years, clearly making financial decisions over the children's best interests and contradictory to what they previously communicated was in the children's best interest. Hopefully Goodstart hierarchy see how much the standard has dropped and move Julia on shortly as she is rude, unhelpful, lazy and has a genuine lack of care for the children and really does not appear to want to be there. I would not send my children here while Julia is still involved and I am actively seeking alternative arrangements for my child who used to love going there with her friends, but now hates it as she was separated from all her friends by Julia's incompetent management.
