About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Grafton is a purpose-built childcare centre situated conveniently on Duke Street, Grafton. We cater to children aged between six weeks and six years old, offering a nurturing environment that supports their development through tailored programs and activities.

Our team is exceptionally experienced, with over 100 combined years of service, many of which have been dedicated to our centre. We are deeply passionate about providing high-quality care and education to the children and families of Grafton.

The centre comprises five rooms designed specifically for different age groups: two Nurseries, Toddlers, Pre-kindy, and Preschool rooms. Each room offers individualised programs based on the unique needs, strengths, and interests of the children, aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework.

Daily activities are carefully planned, implemented, and assessed by our qualified staff, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and challenging environment where children can make choices and learn under supervision.

For our Pre-Schoolers, we offer a comprehensive school readiness program facilitated by Early Childhood Teachers, who provide enriching activities tailored to each child’s developmental stage.

Communication with families is paramount to us, facilitated through our Storypark platform. This tool allows us to maintain transparent and consistent communication, keeping parents informed about their child’s progress, milestones, and achievements.

Outside, our play areas are designed with age-appropriate equipment to enhance children’s awareness of their environment and sustainability. We provide a balanced mix of natural and manmade elements, along with shaded spaces for safe outdoor play.

Nutrition is a priority, with meals prepared by our qualified cook meeting national daily nutritional requirements for children under five years old.

We warmly invite you to visit our centre, meet our dedicated team, and explore how we can support your child’s early learning journey. Your family's comfort and trust are central to our mission at Goodstart Early Learning Grafton.

Lana Hutchings

Centre Director

My name is Lana, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Grafton.

I have been working in the childcare industry for the last 12 years all of which has been at this centre. 

I started off by completing my traineeship and gaining my Certificate Three in Early Childhood Education and Care. Shortly after completing my traineeship, I then continued my studies and obtained my Diploma in Early Childhood Services. 

During my career I have worked across all age groups. I was a room leader for 8 years before becoming assistant director then moved into the director role early 2024. 

My goal is to provide safe learning environments for all children with opportunities and support that promote positive learning in preparation for your child’s further education. 

I look forward to working with you and your family.
