About Goodstart Early Learning Thornbury (Opening Early 2026 - Register Your Interest Today)
We’re excited to welcome families in 2026 to our brand-new early learning centre in Hutton Street, Thornbury. Located opposite Thornbury Primary School, our new centre is designed with community, convenience and children’s growth.
Set in a prime location in the heart of vibrant, family-friendly Thornbury, the centre offers ample onsite parking, easy access for drop-offs and pick-ups, and beautifully designed indoor and outdoor spaces to support up to 96 children from 6 weeks to school age.
This new centre was born from a simple idea: to create a place where children feel safe, supported and inspired – and where families are truly part of the learning journey. We imagined a space where babies take their first steps, toddlers build friendships, and kinder kids grow confident and ready for school.
Our team of passionate, experienced educators will bring each room to life with play-based learning aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, celebrating every child’s unique interest and cultural background.
The centre will feature:
- Spacious, light-filled classrooms from Nursery to Kindergarten
- Natural outdoor play areas
- A qualified in-house cook preparing fresh, nutritious meals each day
- Connections with Thornbury Primary School and other local schools to support school readiness in their kinder/pre-school years
- Family-friendly events, learning updates via Storypark, and a welcoming, inclusive environment
Whether you're new to our community or returning to enrol in our new Thornbury centre, our new Hutton Street home offers the ideal space for children to learn, play, and thrive in a location that truly supports growing families.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Goodstart Thornbury where lifelong learning begins.

Thank you for the 5 stars Brett!

We have sent both of our kids to Goodstart and they had a wonderful experience. The carers were amazing and the kids always come home happy ... and frequently teach the parents all the things they learnt at daycare be it sign language, climbing or how to draw a unicorn-pegasus cross. We could not be happier with the centre.
