About Goodstart Early Learning Narellan Vale

Goodstart Narellan Vale provides quality care and education in a positive environment to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Experienced educators lead a play-based curriculum and intentional programs that meet the children’s individual interests and needs. As a result, children are well supported in their learning journey to become confident and ready for the big step up to school.

Outdoors, the children have access to natural and manmade play areas. Sandpits, rock gardens, a water channel, a vegetable patch and a dirt pit are designed to instil an awareness of the environment and sustainability. Landscaped gardens and shaded areas are welcoming features while the children play, run and explore the different activities and equipment on offer. 

The indoor spaces open up many learning opportunities for children at the different stages of their development. Books, maths resources, educational games and an art space help to grow active, inquiring minds.

Conveniently located next to Narellan Vale Public school, the centre is close to shops. There is a bus stop a short walk away and a car park at the front of the centre to help with drop-off and pick-up times. Why not book a tour of this welcoming and comfortable centre today

Curriculum and programs

Curriculum and programs

The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.

As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.

The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress. 

The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.

The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills.

They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.

We have been at Goodstart Narellan Vale for the past 4 years and I highly recommend them to everyone. I am an ex childcare worker myself and when looking for places for my son 4 years ago, Goodstart was the one centre I felt most comfortable sending my child to. The staff at the centre, from Sophie the director, the key educators in my children’s room to casual staff are all so welcoming and attentive. They know each child by name and the care they provide for them is outstanding. They are constantly going above and beyond to ensure children are safe, happy and engaged. They have all been consistent and familiar faces over the last 4 years as most educators have been at the centre for 5-25 years with no high turnover of staff like most other childcare centres which I think speaks for itself showing what a great centre this is. I am so grateful for the way they have supported both my children over the years with my son now going off to big school. Thankfully my daughter still has a few more years for us to remain in the centre. It will be sad to leave this amazing place in the future.

From the start Goodstart Narellan have been welcoming and accommodating! We were stuffed around at another centre and Goodstart were able to assist even though that meant split between 2 centres , and eventually we were able to make the transition to their centre ! My child has absolutely thrived here and has made solid connections with staff and other children within the centre. My 2nd child has just started and I look forward to seeing both my kids grow this next year. The staff across all rooms are friendly and always greet my child by name and with a smile. Many of which have 5, 10,15+ years service within the center.

Response from the owner 08 Jan 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Joanne. We’re so pleased to hear that your family has felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning, especially during the transition from another centre. It’s wonderful to know your child has thrived, formed strong connections, and is so warmly greeted by the team each day. We’re grateful for your trust and are delighted to be supporting both of your children on their early learning journey. We look forward to many more happy moments together in the year ahead.

My son attended for a couple of years before starting school. They were very accomodating for his extra energy he had and took very good care of him. Staff were excellent. Food always smelled delicious.

Response from the owner 07 Jan 2026

Thank you so much, Jade, for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that your son had such a positive experience during his time with us. Our team works hard to support each child’s individual needs and energy levels, and it’s wonderful to know he felt well cared for and supported. We’re also glad to hear our meals made a good impression. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for being part of our community. We wish your son all the very best on his school journey ahead.
