About Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn South

Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn South is a welcoming, purpose-built centre located in a quiet residential area, close to schools and shops for easy drop-offs and pick-ups.

Our centre caters for 60 children across four rooms, from Nursery to Kindergarten/Preschool. Each room is designed according to the Early Years Learning Framework, offering engaging, sensory, and play-based learning experiences. Our experienced educators, who have been with us for two to ten years, create a warm, family-like atmosphere and are dedicated to nurturing and educating each child.

We value open communication with families through our Storypark platform, regular family nights, and newsletters. This ensures we can adapt our programs to each child’s unique needs, interests, and strengths, celebrating the centre’s cultural diversity.

Our outdoor spaces are equipped with age-appropriate play areas including sandpits, garden beds, vegetable patches, cubbyhouses, a worm farm, and a cosy book corner. These areas encourage children to explore, develop environmental awareness, and learn about sustainability.

Healthy, nutritious meals are prepared daily by our on-site cook, catering for all dietary needs, including allergies. We provide breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack.

Art and music form an essential part of our daily curriculum, allowing children to express their creativity freely. Community engagement is key to enriching our learning environment, with regular visits and participation in local events.

We invite you to visit and see how we can support your child’s early learning journey and offer you peace of mind.

Goodstart Blackburn South is the most amazing centre. The staff have been at the centre for years and all know the kids by name. Both my sons attended the centre and I knew they were well taken care of in the hands of Stacey and her team. There is a big focus on play and my children thrived here. I am so grateful for the kindness, empathy and caring they have shown my children over the past 7 years. You will not find better.
