About Great Beginnings Golden Bay

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Golden Bay, Secret Harbour, Singleton and surrounding suburbs. 

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
  • Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

This is not a review I ever thought I'd have to write after being part of this centre for over three years.<br><br>Before my son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, we had always been happy with the care he received. Unfortunately, once his medical needs changed, our experience changed completely.<br><br>As parents, we worked closely with the centre and did everything we could to support staff with his diabetes management. We provided training opportunities, information and were always available. Despite this, there were repeated failures in managing his care, inconsistent communication, and an overall lack of confidence that staff fully understood the seriousness of his condition.<br><br>After three years of trusting this centre with our son, it was heartbreaking to reach the point where we no longer felt he was safe in their care. We ultimately had no choice but to withdraw him.<br><br>This review isn't directed at the educators who genuinely cared about Connor. It reflects concerns with the centre's leadership, systems and ability to appropriately support children with complex medical conditions.<br><br>If your child has additional medical needs, I would encourage you to have very detailed conversations about the centre's training, experience and processes before enrolling.<br><br>I truly hope improvements have been made so that other families don't have to go through what we did.

Response from the owner

Hi Zoey,<br><br>We’re sorry to hear how disappointing this experience became for your family, particularly after being part of the centre for more than three years.<br><br>Due to privacy and confidentiality, we’re unable to discuss your child’s individual medical circumstances publicly. However, we do want to acknowledge that additional measures were put in place as his medical needs changed, including external diabetes training for educators, additional staffing support, individual support planning, adjusted attendance arrangements and ongoing discussions with your family and operational leadership.<br><br>We recognise that supporting a child with complex medical needs requires close collaboration, clear communication, appropriate training and confidence across the team. We take that responsibility very seriously and continue to review how we support children with individual medical needs and their families.<br><br>Thank you also for recognising the educators who cared for your son during his time with us. We’re sorry that, despite the additional support put in place, your family ultimately lost confidence in the centre.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>The Great Beginnings Golden Bay team
