About Goodstart Early Learning Bracken Ridge

Goodstart Early Learning Bracken Ridge is a well-established centre in the local community, offering convenient access to main roads, public transport, local schools, shops, and TAFE. The centre is air-conditioned, with large, separate playgrounds for different age groups, including a fun water play area.

We care for children from Nursery to Kindergarten, with each room set up according to the Early Years Learning Framework. Our play-based learning environments are designed to encourage sensory exploration and development.

We use the Storypark platform to maintain open communication with families, along with regular newsletters and family events, ensuring each child's individual needs, interests, and strengths are met. Our culturally diverse centre tailors programs for every child.

Outside, there are three play areas featuring age-appropriate equipment including sandpits, cubby houses, a gazebo with a stage, swings, a vegetable patch, and a worm farm, allowing children to explore and use their imaginations.

We also enrich learning through community involvement, visiting local venues like libraries and rest homes, and supporting charities such as the SIDS Foundation and Cancer Council. Daily art and music activities encourage children to express their creativity.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family. Come in for a tour and discover how we can work together to give your child the best start in life.

Unfortunately our experience at Goodstart Bracken Ridge ended with us moving our four-year-old after repeated incidents in which she was hurt and we lost confidence in how our concerns were handled.<br>I spent weeks trying to get a clear account of one incident and received two different incident reports with conflicting information about what happened, who witnessed it, what she was struck with and her injuries. An incident report I had been told in writing would be lodged also never appeared in the records provided to me.<br>We escalated the matter to Goodstart corporate and the Queensland Early Childhood Regulatory Authority. The regulator did not substantiate a breach but did query the discrepancies in the incident reports, and educators are now receiving further training.<br>What I wanted was simple: a clear account of what happened to my child and clear, consistent answers when the records didn’t match. Instead, the process became exhausting enough that we moved her.<br>I hope other families have a better experience.
