Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre located on Port Road opened in 2018. Our newly constructed centre features six separate, naturally inspired learning spaces, each with direct access to our landscaped designed outdoor environment providing children with the opportunity to move freely between the indoor and outdoor. Our environments have been specifically designed to engage, challenge and excite the children throughout all of their developmental stages.
Our beautiful outdoor dining hub connects our learning spaces to the playground and provides a shaded, outdoor dining space for all children and educators. Our onsite kitchen with child-height servery allows our centre cook to serve and interact with our children and engage in cooking and preparing meals.
We provide high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Using the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our education program and scaffold children’s learning, our educators are passionate and committed to providing nurturing and simulating early learning environment.

My two girls have been attending Goodstart Cheltenham for a couple of years now. We adore our centre director and all of the educators. The bonds and strong connections built with our children (and us as parents) are priceless. We have had trying times over the past 18 months and have felt nothing but love and support to help us through. Our girls growth and development have come leaps and bounds, we work together with the educators to overcome obstacles and communication has been great! Most days they don’t even want to come home cos they love childcare so much! Highly recommend the center and couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of their community 💖🙏
I cannot praise this centre enough! The care provided here is EXCEPTIONAL. I have been to multiple childcares now in order to find the right one and finally I can say I have never had a better experience. Each child's learning is approached to your child's individual needs, they take their time to ensure theyre treated as an individual and not just another number. The approach is treated as a family and you can only praise how much effort is put into their learning approach and welcoming, warm atmosphere. No matter the area, each teacher will welcome you with open arms (even if they don't have your child in their room). I know each and every day my son is in good hands. Kate's approach to preschool education program is exceptional and each day my son comes home with something new he's learnt and nothing but a smile. No matter the problem, big or small they will inform you of your child's day and keep you up to date of everything instead of leaving it till the end of the day, you know they care. Are flexible and always willing to accommodate to your last minute bookings or swap around with bookings. Keep doing all that you guys do because your hard work does not go unnoticed!
Goodstart Early Learning Centre, Port Rd is a fantastic facility. It offers children a safe environment to play, learn, and build skills and friendships. The centre's staff are warm and caring. Everyone from the Director to Admin is experienced at meeting children's and parents' needs. The educators facilitate quality programs and learning opportunities to keep children engaged and happy throughout their day. I highly recommend this centre for all children prior to starting school.
I have dedicated 15 years to the early childhood sector, all of which have been with Goodstart Early Learning. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working across all age groups in various roles, which has provided me with a deep and comprehensive understanding of early childhood development. My experience as a Centre Director spans many years, and my passion for fostering children’s growth and development drives me to ensure the highest quality care and education for every child in our care.
I am deeply committed to early childhood education and believe strongly in the power of nurturing strong, supportive relationships that help children grow into resilient and capable learners. I also recognise the importance of building trusting, secure, and reciprocal relationships with families, understanding the profound significance of our role in caring for your children.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
