Goodstart Early Learning Rostrevor

Children thrive on routine. On familiar faces. On knowing what their day will look like.

That’s why at Goodstart, we’ve always prioritised building strong, consistent teams who stay, creating a sense of belonging for every child who walks through our doors.

In times of change, that consistency becomes even more important. It’s what helps children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn.

If you’re currently navigating unexpected changes in your childcare arrangements, know that there is a place where your child can feel secure from day one.
We’d love to welcome you into our community 🌼

At Goodstart, we believe stability isn’t something you should have to question. It’s something you should be able to count on.

Our highly trained and experienced educators, many of which have been part of our centres for years, grow alongside the families they support. That continuity means your child isn’t just another enrolment, they’re known, understood, and genuinely cared for every single day.

We offer reassurance, consistency, and a community you can trust 🌿

Reach out anytime if you’d like to chat about how we can support your family.

When it comes to your child, nothing matters more than feeling safe, settled, and supported ❤️

At Goodstart Early Learning, our focus has always been on providing consistent, high-quality care you can rely on - not just today, but for the long term.

Our centres are built on strong, experienced teams who have worked side by side for years.

That means familiar faces greeting your child each morning, educators who truly know their routines, and relationships that help little ones feel secure and confident.

Because when children feel safe, they thrive — and so do families.

If you’re exploring your options, our doors (and hearts) are always open 💛

Child Protection 🚨 Emergencies

We’ve been learning about what an emergency is and when we might need help. The children shared their ideas and recorded them in our Floor Book.

There was lots of excitement around sirens and the different helpers in our community—like ambulance officers, firefighters and police. We’ll definitely be building on this interest in future learning!

⭐️Immediate vacancies available ⭐️

We understand that finding immediate childcare can be an emotional and challenging experience and we are here to help.

Our tour slots are open all week, you are welcome to book online or call our friendly family support team on 1800 222 543. We look forward to welcoming you and your family into our happy centre 😃

Creating a meaningful maths space in the kindy room 🔢✨

Our maths space invites children to explore numbers, patterns, shapes, and problem-solving through hands-on play. With open-ended materials and engaging provocations, children are encouraged to count, sort, measure, and investigate at their own pace.

This space supports early mathematical thinking, builds confidence, and fosters curiosity as children make connections through play-based learning 💛

Exploring healthy eating through hands-on learning 🥕🍅

Some of our children are still developing their confidence with vegetables, so we introduced a fun cooking experience making pasta sauce together!

As we prepared the ingredients, the children were encouraged to taste carrot, celery, cabbage and capsicum, sharing their thoughts on textures and flavours.

A wonderful way to spark curiosity, build confidence, and support positive food experiences 🍝💛

Did vou know vour baby is building important fine motor skills every time they reach, squeeze, pull or let go?

From birth to 15 months, these small hand and finger movements lay the foundations for future skills like feeding themselves, drawing and eventually writing.

The good news? You don't need fancy toys or structured lessons.

Simple, playful activities at home - like pulling ribbons from a basket, scrunching paper or transferring pegs - can help strenathen coordination, build confidence and support early communication.

We've shared easy, at-home play ideas in our latest article to help you support your baby's development in natural, joyful ways.

If you'd like to see how we support babies' development in our nursery environments, we'd love to welcome you for a tour.
