Goodstart recognises excellence and impact at 2025 National Goodies awards
Goodstarters from across the nation gathered to celebrate best practice at the 2025 National Goodies awards this week.
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre North Lakes - Winn Street is located in a convenient spot close to local shops, schools and community amenities.
We offer a Government Accredited Kindergarten Program and Long Day Care facility for babies, toddlers and children preparing them for their transition into the school program, all in a first class centre with qualified, motivated educators who mostly live in the North Lakes Community.
We pride ourselves on our homely reception and comfortable facilities. Our well designed outdoor play space offers a variety of equipment, educational toys and fun experiences all in sunny areas with shade cover.
Spacious indoor rooms allow for the children to interact with one another as they are inspired to learn and investigate, also forming respectful relationships with peers and educators. Exciting and motivating activities are programmed that support the Early Years Learning Framework.
Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, we have two areas all with age appropriate play spaces and equipment. With a fun and engaging offering of manmade and natural play areas, we offer a variety of experiences where the children can test their skills, challenge themselves and learn about the environment and the importance of sustainability at the same time.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
We look forward to meeting and working with your family to provide a learning environment that offers your child the best possible start in life.


I have been a Centre Director for 1 year and commenced my role at North Lakes in January 2026, while the lovely Yogeeta takes maternity leave to welcome her baby girl.
I have worked in the Early Childhood Education and Care industry for 6 years, starting as an educator and progressing into management—where my passion truly lies. I take great pride in leading a high-quality centre where children’s safety, wellbeing, and care are always the top priority.
What I love most about early learning is the positive impact that we have on the children who come through our centre. I feel incredibly lucky to be a trusted source of comfort, fun, and guidance for children from all families, backgrounds, and cultures. I am a strong empath and passionate advocate for children, and since becoming a mother myself, this has only grown stronger.
At Goodstart North Lakes – Winn Street, our centre offers a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where children feel a true sense of belonging. Our dedicated team of educators provide high-quality, play-based learning experiences that support each child’s individual development while building confidence, curiosity, and independence. We are proud to be a caring community where children are supported, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive every day.
Fun fact about me: Although I don’t sound it, I am British!
