Our dedicated educators foster a collaborative and supportive environment by maintaining strong communication with families through daily updates, Storypark, regular newsletters, and family nights. We have a strong community connection, with visits from local professionals such as dentists and child health nurses, as well as monthly sessions with specialists. Fortnightly excursions to local parks and shops further enrich the children’s learning experience.
Our centre’s four rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten, follow the Early Years Learning Framework, integrating sensory and play-based learning to develop key skills in language, science, numeracy, and creative arts. Outdoor play areas feature newly renovated spaces with wooden decks, sandpits, climbing structures, worm farms, and water features, fostering environmental awareness and sustainability through gardening and water recycling.
Our team of long-standing, highly qualified educators creates flexible, engaging learning experiences tailored to each child’s individual needs. Most hold a Diploma in Children’s Services or higher, with some holding Bachelor's degrees.
We offer nutritious, chef-prepared meals throughout the day, and now include complimentary evening meals for children, supporting families by easing routines and reducing living costs.

When we first went looking for a childcare center when our first child was going to start we visited a few, and at the time felt so uneasy this was until we went and toured Goodstart South road. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and at ease and the kids looked happy. Brittany the manager is exceptional and knows how to run a good team. As they say, you know management is good when staff have been there for many years. Everyone looks happy to be in the role. All the staff are professional, warm and dedicated to creating a positive and engaging environment for children to grow. Goodstart South road doesn't just have a childcare feel it feels more homely and more like a family. Knowing our children are in such a nurturing, caring and safe environment ticks the boxes for us.

My son has been attending Goodstart for over 1.5 years, and he’s had such a wonderful time there. He enjoys every single day, and seeing him thrive in all areas of his development makes us feel incredibly happy and grateful. The staff are attentive and provide personalised care with great attention to detail. They are always patient, kind, and genuinely care about the children. There’s a wide variety of activities throughout the day that keep the kids engaged and learning through play. We really appreciate the nutritious meals provided, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which take a lot of pressure off us as working parents. The team has been consistent with very stable staffing, which gives us peace of mind and helps our son feel secure and settled. We’re truly thankful to have found such a caring and supportive environment for our little one. It’s been a big part of his early years, and we can see how much he’s grown in confidence, language, and social skills.

Our son moved here from a different kinder and we couldn’t be happier! This place is absolutely amazing, it feels more like a family than a childcare. The educators are great and they even offer my son to come and join them for special events on the days he’s not usually attending kindy. Highly recommend this place!
