We’ve a really positive experience with Goodstart Early, Cheltenaham. The centre director, educators, other staffs are caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to our child’s needs. The centre is clean, well maintained, and offers a good balance of learning activities and play. We feel confident leaving our child here and would recommend the centre to other parents.

All staff are incredibly kind, caring, and professional. The centre is always clean and well maintained, and most importantly, my child is happy there. I honestly can’t name everyone individually because they are all amazing.

About Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham

Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Cheltenham

Our caring educators nurture children’s love of learning across five large, age-based indoor spaces and well-resourced outdoor yards. We have two nurseries, two toddler rooms, and a three- and four-year-old kinder classroom.

We invite you to take a tour – we love to show you around. Our beautiful heritage-listed building is within walking distance of Cheltenham Primary School, Westfield Southland Shopping Centre, and Southland Train Station.

Situated in the heart of Cheltenham on a quiet, tree-lined street with ample parking, we are easily accessible by public transport. During your visit, you’ll discover why families love our longstanding team, welcoming homely atmosphere, quality-approved learning programs, and strong focus on family relationships.

All educators hold high qualifications, with many having been with Goodstart for over a decade. They create a safe, comfortable learning environment with endless opportunities for children.

From nursery to kindergarten, our teacher-led programs follow the Victorian Early Years Framework. Two bachelor-qualified kindergarten teachers lead programming tailored to children’s interests while supporting school readiness. We adjust sensory and play-based learning plans while supporting their readiness to take that critical step to school.

We enrich children’s experiences with community visits and excursions throughout the year, including art and music incursions, an annual onsite dentist visit, and trips to a community garden. Storytime at a local primary school helps our kinder children transition smoothly to school.

Our centre offers a warm, cosy, family feel. Children learn closely in five spacious indoor rooms, including an educator-run intentional space for mindful movement and emotional learning.

Sustainable outdoor spaces include playgrounds with messy play, veggie gardens, a worm farm, sandpit, water feature, mud patch, bike tracks, and shaded verandas.
