As an extremely protective mum, trusting anyone with my daughter was one of the hardest things for me. From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to reassure me, support me, and make both myself and my daughter feel safe and comfortable. Nothing is ever too much to ask — they always keep me updated, answer every question, and genuinely care about the children like they’re their own. The love, patience, and effort they put into everything they do is incredible. My daughter absolutely loves going, and seeing how happy, settled, and cared for she is gives me so much peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful for everything they do for our family and couldn’t recommend them enough.🤍

We cannot speak highly enough of the nurturing, care and support provided to our children by the staff and educators at Goodstart Payneham. The centre is led by a fantastic leadership team who are warm, accommodating and excellent with their communication. Many of the staff have been there for years which speaks to the excellent culture within the centre which filters down from leadership to educators and staff to the children. We were particularly impressed with the "family feel" that we experienced and continue to experience through the Goodstart Payneham community. The educators run an excellent program and our children have learned so much during their days at the centre. They love attending and have formed such strong connections with both peers and staff members alike. If you're looking for a warm, nurturing, supportive ELC with a strong community feel, you can certainly trust Jess and her team at Goodstart Payneham!

About Goodstart Early Learning Payneham

At Goodstart Payneham, we prioritise building trusting relationships with families and delivering high-quality care and education. Each of our four rooms offers an educational curriculum tailored to children’s individual interests, with a focus on intentional teaching. Daily activities include physical development, music, movement, sustainability, and cultural awareness.

Our Kindy room provides a government-funded Universal Access program that supports excursions and new experiences. Additionally, we offer a soccer program to develop physical skills and a dance class, "Happy Feet," that children love. The centre’s daily menu is freshly prepared by our on-site cook, featuring five meals from breakfast to late snack. Children also participate in cooking classes, exploring a variety of cultural recipes.

We support breastfeeding families with a dedicated area in our cot room and welcome parents to return throughout the day to feed their child. Outdoors, our spacious play areas encourage exploration, physical activity, and environmental awareness through natural resources and open-ended play opportunities.

Many of our educators have been with us for over a decade, providing children with familiar faces and fostering lasting connections. With secure facilities, personalised learning, and a robust school readiness program, we aim to make every child’s experience enriching and supportive.

We invite you to book a tour to see our centre and meet our passionate team. Join our Facebook community to stay connected and receive parenting insights and early childhood resources.
