About our centre

Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Hampton Park - Somerville Road caters for children from six weeks to five years of age and is located close to local schools, shops and is within walking distance of multiple bus stop.

We have a strong team of dedicated educators that provide a fun and engaging education program that is based on the individual needs and interests of each child, and in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework. We have a strong commitment to provide a high standard of care and education to our families and the community.

Our educators are from diverse cultural backgrounds and are fluent in some of the local community languages. All team members have successfully completed Certificate III, Diploma in Children's Services or Bachelor of Education, with ongoing professional development opportunities encouraged. Our educators have a variety of experience, knowledge and cultural diversity which enriches our program through their values and beliefs.

Outside we have open and shaded play spaces enabling the children to explore, learn about the environment around them and the importance of sustainaibility, as well as stretch their imaginations. We have sandpits, climbing frames, slides, vege patches, worm farms, diggin patches and lots of space to run.

Our on-site cooks provide nutritionally-balanced meals, freshly prepared each day incorporating dietary requirements such as Halal, vegetarian and vegan needs also catered for. All meals, nappies, linen, sunscreen and hygiene products are included.

Families represent a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. We offer a variety of events that celebrate our children's cultures including Australia Day, Chinese New Year, NAIDOC week, Vietnamese Mid-Autumn festival, Cambodian Royal Ploughing day, Diwali and many more.

We communicate with families via email, newsletters, daily communication sheets/books and quality conversations face-to-face during drop-offs and pick-ups. Goodstart Hampton Park Somerville Road hosts events and open days throughout the year and invites all families and the local community to come and join the fun.

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.

With our flexible orientation process and devoted, friendly educators, we aim to make the transition from home to care as smooth as possible.

Come in and say hello! We would love to welcome you and your family into our centre.

Centre Vision - To provide a safe and secure environment with high quality care. A home away from home.
