About Goodstart Bayswater North
Goodstart Early Learning Bayswater North is located on Colchester Road between Mountain Highway and Canterbury Road.
We are purpose built centre with extensive and well-equipped rooms and playgrounds. Our qualified professional educators, who most have been at the centre for a long period of time now are very friendly and provide a nurturing, individualized and educational play based program.
We have an open-door policy at Goodstart Bayswater North, which encourages families to share in their child’s experience by assisting with the program and offering to share their special talents and skills.
We believe it is important to build trusting relationships with all our families, to ensure we provide the best quality care for our children.
We work collaboratively with professionals & support agencies to explore the learning potential in play so that children with additional needs & their families are provided with opportunities to learn from active participation & engagement in experiences both at home & at our service.
We provide a range of inviting, stimulating & challenging play spaces throughout the centre, indoor & outdoors. We provide the children with a choice to play indoors or outdoors as they please, and provide progressive mealtimes for children to make decisions. We celebrate children’s milestones & success. Each child & family will have a Key Educator from commencement, to form a deeper bond & secure attachment with one educator.
We are open for centre tours so please feel free to make an appointment with us at any time. We look forward to meeting you and your family.

Belinda Hilston Centre Director
My name is Belinda and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Bayswater North. I have my Diploma in Early Childhood and have been in the Early Learning industry for nearly 30 years, and have been at Goodstart Bayswater North for the last 24 years.
I believe that we are gifted with the huge responsibility of caring for other people’s most precious possessions, therefore there is a need to always provide a safe, happy, warm, secure and trusting home environment always.
I strongly believe in not only forming great relationships with children but also with all families. It is so important to always greet children & parents, to comfort children & parents if needed, & to make the transition from home
