About Great Beginnings Speers Point

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Speers Point, Lakelands, Macquarie Hills and Boolaroo near Newcastle. 

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.
  • Preschool (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 centre has been wonderful for both of my children. Happy friendly staff with smiles on their faces, their dedication and love for their jobs shows. I know my children are getting the attention, love and support they both require. Thankyou to Emma Mel, Ryza Emily, Tema and Belle for a wonderful 2024.

    My son has been attending here a few days a week for 5 months now and he's thriving. I'm always impressed that all the staff seem to know every child's name. When I talk to my child's educators it's clear they know him well and really care about making sure he's happy and getting the most out of his time there. The outside play area is massive with lots to do. I love seeing the photos of the different play and learning activities. I'd happily recommend this place to another parent.

    Belle and the team of educators at GB Speers Point have looked after my daughter for a few years and we have now enrolled our little boy. My daughter constantly talks about her educators and when her next day is. They have eased a parent’s mind when leaving them to go work. I feel assured that our children are in the best care at this centre. I’ve tried one other centre outside of GB where I found the services incomparable. I highly recommend this centre to any parent who wants piece of mind knowing their children are in a caring and fun environment!

    My 2 children both attend Great Beginnings Speers Point 5 days a week. My son has additional needs and all the staff are very accommodating for him and always celebrate his small wins with him throughout the day and myself at pick up. I definitely feel like my children are nurtured, well looked after and safe within their care.
