At Goodstart Ingle Farm we are situated in a prime location within our community close to local shops, schools, the United Community church and walking distance to the local library and Ingle Farm Recreation Centre - which we utilise to enhance learning opportunities for our children.
We are a supportive and inclusive centre who welcome all families within our community and believe we provide a sense of belonging for everyone within our centre.
We believe in inspiring an enthusiasm for lifelong learning which we provide for children and educators. We encourage children to wonder, question and approach new challenges with confidence. We encourage children to engage in learning with confidence and curiosity. Our natural outdoor play environment allows children to foster a love of environment and nature play.
Our purpose-built early learning centre caters for up to 75 children per day across four rooms (Nursery 0-2, Toddler, 2-3, Pre-Kindy 3-4 and Kindergarten 4-School). Our centre welcomes children from 6 weeks of age, and we strongly encourage families to stay right up until they start school, as we run a Government Funded Kindergarten program, taught by Early Childhood Teachers Miranda Bernard and Tatjana Duno, who both have over 10 years’ experience.
We are also lucky enough to have an Early Childhood Teacher Jaspreet Ajimal. in our pre-kindy room who works closely with educator Paige Fisher to ensure the children are able to access valuable play based learning in preparation for attending our kindy program.
At Goodstart Ingle Farm, you will be welcomed by our friendly, long standing staff team as well as our existing families. Together we create a beautifully unique community where we celebrate and learn from each other’s cultures. Goodstart Ingle Farm also values reconciliation, by acknowledging and learning from the Kaurna People. We have an active Reconciliation Action Plan which is created to pass this love and respect for the Aboriginal culture on to the children within our care.
We take pride in our room environments, as we believe children need to be inspired and excited by their spaces as they engage in play. This means our spaces look beautiful and inviting, but are also created to support children’s learning and development.
Goodstart Ingle Farm works closely with families to build trusting relationships and a strong sense of community. We know it takes a village to raise a child and we invite you to be a part of ours!

Goodstart Ingle Farm is exceptional! I have two of my children there currently. I have used the nursery, toddler room and prekindy. The educators treat my children with respect, understanding and kindness. I know the cook does an amazing job on the food that is prepared as my children are full when they come home and talk about the food they have eaten. They have learned so much through Goodstart and have also made their own social groups independently. I love how the educators celebrate different cultures and traditions from different countries and teach the children in a fun and exciting way. When I drop my children off in the morning, I can go to work knowing they are safe and will be well looked after. I have recommended Goodstart Ingle Farm to my friends and family and will continue to do so. A massive thank you to all the Goodstart team.
Best childcare centre, all the ladies that work there are absolutely amazing with my son. His in the toddler room. He has bad separation anxiety, and they go above and beyond to make him feel safe and happy when leaving him. He has approved interacting with others and playing nicely, sharing and talking soo much more. Thank you all for making the process easy with keeping me updated on how he is doing through out the day and week. Definitely 5 star childcare
I'd felt uncomfortable visiting other centres but the moment I stepped into Goodstart Ingle Farm I immediately felt the warmth, inclusion, and genuine care the educators afford the children. My son has been enrolled since 7 months old and his capacity for learning has expanded immensly with his educators. Most first time parents can resonate with that anxious feeling of leaving their babies with someone else but the educators treat the kids like family and its obvious each one has a passion for childhood wellbeing and development. The centre will cater to each childs needs and learning trajectory. Staff are always available to answer any questions or discuss concerns. I know my child is safe and happy at Goodstart Ingle Farm.
With a Diploma in Children’s Services and many years of experience in the early childhood sector, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles in Darwin and Adelaide including Assistant Director, Educational Leader, and Senior Educator. These experiences have shaped my leadership style and deepened my passion for early learning. I’m excited and honoured to lead the team here at Ingle Farm, and I am dedicated to giving every child the best possible start in life.
As a mum of two beautiful girls; one in primary school and the other attending our centre. I understand through my own experience how important it is to feel confident in the care and education your child receives.
I believe every child is a capable and unique individual, full of potential. As an educator and leader, I am committed to nurturing each child’s strengths, interests, and abilities, and using these as the foundation for their learning and development.
I also recognise that families are children’s first and most important teachers. Building strong, respectful partnerships with families is essential, and I encourage open communication so we can work together to support your child’s growth and learning journey.
Creating a safe, warm, and welcoming environment is a top priority for me. When children feel secure and supported, they’re confident to explore, learn, and thrive.
