We've had both of our boys at Goodstart and have been going to the centre for 5 years now. The educators are fantastic and it is a very well run organisation. Highly reccommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Stephen. We are delighted to hear how positive your family’s experience has been over the past five years. Our educators and staff take great pride in providing a caring, well run early learning environment for every family. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your continued trust in our centre.

Have a grandson going there. His family does not exist once he arrives.

We have been at Goodstart for almost a year now with our two boys and have been in two of their nursery rooms. Both rooms have wonderful and warm educators who exhibit the kind of care you would want for your child when they are away from home. Class size have ranged from maximum 6-10 so far in the two rooms we’ve been (2 and under). The centre from the outside looks well loved but the magic is really on the inside and the people who make the centre another home outside of home for our boys. The rooms are clean and tidy, they rotate the layout and toys in the room so the kids don’t get bored and they organise very thoughtful activities to develop the kids. Nappies, meals and snacks (they have a lovely in-house chef who also spoils the kids with special treats on special occasions during the year!) are provided with the weekly menu posted onto Storypark each week. Updates on what the kids get up to are also posted on Storypark; we get daily updates currently but when they were younger we understandably only got updates when they did something special that day. The centre’s leadership team have always been responsive to any concerns I have had and immediately addresses them. You will often even see some of them helping with calming the kids who are upset or getting them breakfast etc. This is the kind of centre where majority of the educators in the centre greet our boys when they see them. Some educators have been there for many many years and still have the spark of fire and enthusiasm when dealing with the kids. The staff turnover rate appears to be very low at this centre which speaks volumes about the culture here. There are many newly established child care centres around the area but I wouldn’t bypass Goodstart. Kids aren’t going to remember how nice and new the rooms were (that’s more for you as a parent) but they will remember the experience and care they had while being away from home.
Thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt review, Janet. We’re so pleased to hear your boys have felt so cared for and supported during their time with us. Your kind words about our educators, leadership team, and the meaningful experiences we aim to create truly mean a lot. It’s wonderful to know the environment feels like a home away from home for your family. We’re grateful for your trust and so proud to be part of your children’s early learning journey! 🌟
Goodstart Early Learning Mont Albert is a warm, family-focused centre located in a quiet residential area near schools, shops, and community facilities. Our mission is to create a homely environment where families and children feel welcomed, always greeted with a familiar, smiling face.
Our play-based educational programs, from Nursery to Kindergarten, reflect the Early Years Learning Framework. Children grow through sensory, play-based learning in colourful, stimulating spaces. Outdoors, two age-appropriate areas feature sandpits, veggie patches, a worm farm, and obstacle courses.
Our dedicated, passionate educators, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, hold formal qualifications and are trained in first aid and anaphylaxis. Our diverse, multicultural team speaks 13 different languages, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all families.
We offer a range of enriching activities, including sports, music, and movement programs. Our Kindergarten School Readiness program partners with local schools, and we host diverse incursions like Lunar New Year celebrations, Aboriginal Smoking Ceremonies, and visits from the police.
Healthy, nutritious meals are prepared on-site daily by our qualified cook, using fresh ingredients. Children also enjoy hands-on cooking experiences in their rooms.
We work closely with support agencies to ensure all children, including those with additional needs, thrive through active participation. Communication is key at our centre, with families kept up-to-date through our StoryPark platform, which allows parents easy access to their child’s learning journey, centre events, and tailored learning opportunities.
