About Goodstart Early Learning Mill Park - University Drive

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Mill Park – University Drive is conveniently located behind McDonald's on Plenty Road, close to the Western Ring Road, Westfield, and University Hill shopping centre. The centre is near public and private schools, as well as RMIT University, making it easily accessible for families in the area.

Our team of experienced and qualified educators, many of whom are long-term staff, provide high-quality care in a warm, nurturing environment. The centre is purpose-built with age-appropriate outdoor learning spaces. Inside, each room—from Nursery to Kindergarten—follows the Early Years Learning Framework, offering sensory and play-based learning to support children's growth and development.

We focus on preparing children for school through stimulating surroundings and engaging activities. The Storypark platform, alongside family nights, newsletters, and emails, helps us stay connected with families, ensuring open communication and allowing us to tailor programs to each child’s needs, interests, and strengths. Our centre celebrates cultural diversity, reflecting this in our curriculum and community.

Our outdoor play areas feature natural and manmade elements such as sandpits, veggie gardens, a worm farm, and plenty of shaded space for exploration. We also offer a nationally balanced, rotating four-week menu to ensure healthy, nutritious meals for all ages.

Come and visit us! We would love to welcome you and your family to explore how we can support your child’s lifelong learning journey.

Response to the owner - my daughter Sophie has attended your facility for a few years. I would have thought that, given I share the same last name with my daughter, you could have worked it out. ‘Oh, we have a child on our books named Sophie Mitton. Then we get a rating from Nathan Mitton. No idea who he could possibly be related to - unable to verify’. This seems to aptly typify what goes on here. There is no point in me calling anyone at your self proclaimed ‘women-owned’ facility, to discuss anything. Your ‘educators’ played a role in trying to alienate my daughter from me. I’m disgusted by some of what occurred at your centre, and I certainly will not be wasting any time trying to ‘discuss’ it with you. The daily updates on StoryPark are riddled with facile spelling and grammatical errors. There’s also a lot I could say about the daily photos, but I won’t even start down that path. This isn’t great, but I could deal with it in the absence of better options. If only some of the ‘educators’ made half an effort to pretend to be fair. I cannot recommend anyone take their child to this place. Especially separated men. This place has a lot of good reviews, but as another reviewer has already noted, and my experience confirms, as a separated male you will be demonised and looked down on. The absolute, total, and complete lack of compassion, understanding, and care from people who are supposed to be playing a role in raising our children is disgraceful. It’s actually heartless.
