About Goodstart Middle Ridge

Our centre opened more than 15 years ago, meaning we have strong links with our community. We are fully equipped with a wide variety of age appropriate resources to facilitate learning, exploration, play and creativity. Inside, our rooms are designed and set up around our curriculum activities and we cater to children in rooms from Nursery through to Kindergarten and nutritious meals are provided.
 
Our programs are developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines to ensure all children are well prepared to make a smooth transition to school. We also ensure the individual needs and interests of each child is taken into account and, through close communication with families and parents, these are built into each child’s plan.
 
Outside, we have a beautiful big backyard filled with trees and gardens as well as a bike tracks, vege patches and plenty of environments which encourage the children’s understanding of nature and sustainability in safe, sensory-based, fun surrounds. 
 
At Goodstart Middle Ridge, our educators and carers have long associations with the centres, their longevity and commitment to the children lending to a combined level of service not often found. This allows us to provide a stable learning environment and build strong and lasting relationships with children, families and community.

Nicola Lock Centre Director

Hi! My name is Nicola and I am the Centre Director here at Goodstart Early Learning Middle Ridge.

For about 27 years I have been working in the child care sector and I have my Advanced Diploma of Childcare. I have been with the Goodstart team for 15 years and for the past 9 of those years I have been here at Middle Ridge.

Throughout my career I have gained experience working will all early education age groups and I love what amazing adventures each day brings!

Every day I have the chance to make a positive impact on a child’s start to life. I am passionate about early learning and the education of children in their first five years as this is when they are building the foundation of their knowledge and skills for schooling and life.

It’s a passion I share with my wonderful team of educators. We strongly believe that, as is the core principle of Goodstart, children really are central to everything we do.

It’s all about your child, and we work closely with you, as parents, to ensure not only are their needs met but that you can walk away comfortable in the knowledge your child is happy, safe and getting the highest quality care.

Come in and say hello! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

    "I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Goodstart Middle Ridge. All educators are friendly, caring individuals with a genuine passion for all the children.
    The read more centre is always clean and tidy - that's saying something for the educators who obviously are powerhouses when it comes to cleaning up after so many little ones! This just proves they take the health and safety of the children, parents and other team members very seriously.Healthy meals are always on the menu and I can tell my little one enjoys meal times immensely!I am confident I picked the right child care centre as I feel that my daughter is shown an endless amount of care, love and attention.
    Thank you to all the educators, who have made this a positive experience for me."
