Parking details

Parking We have five onsite parking spaces available at the centre. We also have parking on Surrey Road available to the families to access the centre.
Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn is located on Surrey Road. The centre is a refurbished house which gives us an extremely homey and warm atmosphere.  As soon as you walk through the front door you will notice that we have very high ceilings and all the rooms are bright and colourful, decorated with artwork and posters made by the children.

Our centre staff pride themselves on delivering a fun and educational program for all children. Goals and and targets are set are set so that each child can experience the joy of success and achievement.

We are proud that the majority of our staff have been at Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn at least three years. Our staff are a magnificent asset to the centre. We work really well together and pride ourselves on working together as a close knit team.

Out the back we have a garden that we call the ‘Magic garden’ where the children can run in the grass, pick lemons off the tree and play in the garden. 

We have a Kinder Teacher named Joyce who is here five days a week. Joyce provides the children with a daily kinder program which prepares our Kinder children for the transition to school.

Our families enjoy coming together when we celebrate special events such as grandparent’s afternoon tea, kinder graduation, centre Christmas party, dress up days and parent/teacher interviews.

We all love our jobs here at Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn and we work hard to ensure strong bonds and friendships are made between carers and children in all rooms. As soon as you enter the centre you will experience friendly staff and families and watch children busying themselves in the fun program. Please feel free to pop in for a visit or make an appointment for a centre tour. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi my name is Bonnie Stubbs and I am the proud Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn. I worked here for five years as Group Leader in the Toddler room before going overseas to work in an American summer camp. I returned at the end of 2009 to become the 21C before stepping up to the Director position. I am enjoying my role as Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn immensely.  

I really enjoy working with children and see a long future ahead with Goodstart. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
