Goodstart Early Learning Clapham

In a recent family survey, our families were asked...
“On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend
Goodstart Clapham to a friend or colleague?”
We are thrilled to share that we were 1 of 3 centres in South Australia to receive a Family Net Promoter Score of 100.

Reaching this milestone is a clear indicator of the trust, care, and consistency our team delivers. Outcomes like this don’t happen by chance, they come from strong relationships, care, authenticity, and a shared commitment to quality.

I'm so proud of our team and so thankful to our families who are truly the best. It really does take a village! 💛

💐 A wonderful sense of Community 💐

What a special activity, incorporating flowers brought in from the toddlers own gardens, creating a beautiful end product.
Strengthening their fine motor coordination and movements, and visual perception, each child took turns, holding their chosen cutting in their fingers and carefully placing this into the vase and in amongst those that went in before.

This space enabled the children to further explore and connect with their world and nature, as they felt the petals, leaves and stems gently with their fingers, smelt the diverse scents, and developed their knowledge around the different parts of a plant, as we discussed and labelled these. The flowers were particularly interesting, as we examined the inside of these with curiosity.

There was also the opportunity to do some painting using some of the items brought in from home which resulted in some interesting patterns.

What a fun & fabulous learning opportunity!

We may look big but we are known for being a smaller centre, licensed for 57 children each day.
At our centre each age group has their own space, both indoor and outdoors – and that makes a big difference!
👶 Smaller sizes mean more individual attention for every child
🤝 We build strong, meaningful relationships that support each child’s growth
🌱 A calm, tailored environment helps little ones feel safe, settled, and ready to learn

Because when children feel seen and supported, they thrive.
Come see the difference a smaller centre can make! 💛

This week we welcomed George from SASHC (SA speech & hearing centre).
A company passionate about supporting early identification of speech, language and hearing difficulties.
George's caring approach really made the children comfortable in his presence and we look forward to having them visit again in the future.

SASHC offer a range of services and are conveniently located at Cumberland Park if this is something you feel your child would benefit from 💛 8272 9997
