Our experienced and qualified staff are dedicated to building strong relationships with families and forming meaningful connections with the children in their care.

We pride ourselves on providing educational programmes tailored to all ages, equipping children with the skills to become confident, lifelong learners. Our environment empowers children to engage independently while exploring their interests, strengths, and abilities. All rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten/Preschool, are designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, featuring sensory and play-based learning opportunities.

Families appreciate our welcoming atmosphere and our commitment to accommodating their needs. Special events such as Grandparent's Day, World Food Week, Community Week, and Graduation foster a sense of community.

Our Storypark platform, alongside regular family nights and newsletters, ensures open communication with parents, allowing us to tailor each programme to meet individual needs and cultural diversity.

Outside, we have three age-appropriate play areas, including natural and manmade play surfaces, sandpits, verandahs, and veggie patches with a worm farm, providing a safe and fun environment for imaginative play. Our on-site cook prepares nutritious meals for the children, ensuring they stay nourished throughout the day.

    Cannot speak highly enough of the team at Goodstart. They look after my son as if he was their own and I leave each morning with complete trust that he is ok and happy which as a mother is huge!

    Absolutely thrilled with the level of care my little one receives at Goodstart Nelson Bay. Super lovely, knowledgeable staff. Feels like an extended family. Highly recommend

  • Kathryn Jontulovicabout 6 years ago

    As an Early Childhood educator I was dreading the day I had to trust others to care for my little girl. As soon as I met the Director Mandy and saw the genuine level of care she had towards not only my child but all the children at the centre, I knew I had found the place for Georgie. The centre itself radiates the high level of care and dedication in which the room leaders and educators put into their programs and environment settings. I would highly recommend this centre to families who are wanting the best care for their children in the bay!

    We have our Son and Daughter both at Nelson Bay goodstart both started in the nursery and have moved up in all rooms (nursery to preschool) , my husband and I are extremely happy with the care that this amazing team of educators give to our children and there needs. We wanted a happy loving play based environment with great energy from our educators ,they have exceeded our expectations. My children are happy and thriving and most of all having fun. Love that they also use storypark so I can see photos of my children during the week and it creates great discussions at home about what they have been enjoying whilst at care. Melinda & Dylan Smith
