About the Business
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Blackburn South! Located at 286 Middleborough Road in Blackburn South, Victoria, our establishment is a point of interest and a school dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education and care.
At Goodstart Blackburn South, we prioritize the well-being and development of each child. Our team of dedicated educators, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, create a safe, peaceful, and natural environment where children can thrive. We believe that a positive early childhood education experience sets the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Our centre is proud to embrace diversity, with a team and families from a range of cultures. We value the strong bonds between our educators and the children in their care, ensuring that each child feels safe, secure, and supported.
As the Centre Director, I, Stacey, bring 15 years of experience to Goodstart Blackburn South. I obtained my Diploma of Children's Services from Swinburne TAFE in 2015 and have been in the Centre Director role for the past 5 years. I am passionate about providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children to learn and grow.
In addition to our on-site programs, we offer Goodstart at Home, a platform that allows parents to extend their child's learning at home through play. We also provide resources such as our Subsidy Estimator tool, which helps families determine their eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy and calculate potential savings.
We understand the importance of convenience for families, which is why we offer 6 car spots for parent parking at our centre. Alternatively, parking is available on Craig Street. Our location on the corner of Middleborough Road and Craig Street, across from Genisis Gym, makes us easily accessible.
Outside of my role at Goodstart Blackburn South, I am a busy mother to three-year-old girl/boy twins. I enjoy catching up with friends over coffee and spending time with my family.
Goodstart Early Learning is Australia's largest early learning provider and a proud not-for-profit organization. We have been recognized as a Child Safe Organisation at the 2023 Queensland Child Protection Week Awards. We are committed to acknowledging and respecting the cultural and spiritual connections of First Nations peoples across Australia.
We invite you to visit us at any time to experience the warm and nurturing environment we provide at Goodstart Blackburn South. Contact us today to learn more about our programs, vacancies, and how we can support your child's early learning journey.

Reviews
"Goodstart Blackburn South is the most amazing centre. The staff have been at the centre for years and all know the kids by name. Both my sons attended the centre and I knew they were well taken care of in the hands of Stacey and her team. There is a big focus on play and my children thrived here. I am so grateful for the kindness, empathy and caring they have shown my children over the past 7 years. You will not find better."
"Working Parent and still settling in a new country, Goodstart Blackburn is a boon. The staff is extremely supportive and take extra care for kids to adapt to their environment. Big shout out to Stacy and team for helping out working parents who have no support system to lean on. Hugs and love."
"What an exceptional Centre to send my boys to! The director and staff have been so overly welcoming and compassionate in the boys transition to this Centre. My sons have built relationships with the other children and educators so quickly which has been so pleasing to see. The communication is consistent and they always handle matters in a professional manner. The educational activities provided for my children are always targeted towards the needs of the children and their individual interests. My boys have absolutely thrived by attending this Centre and I would highly recommend to anyone!"
"Goodstart Blackburn South was an incredible start for our kids! The educators were passionate, warm and caring and made every effort to ensure our kids felt safe and comfortable. Stacey the director, met with me regularly to give me updates and listened if I needed a chat. She was even there to give me a big hug when I struggled heading off to work. A home away from home for our babies!"
"I highly recommend Goodstart Early Learning, Blackburn South. The staff are welcoming and inclusive to all children and their parents/carers. They keep communication open and are happy to receive any feedback. As an Education Support Officer of a Primary School, I feel that Goodstart Blackburn South using the 'Early Years Learning Framework' will help the children transition easily into their first school year. 'Storypark' email with photos and a lengthy explanation of all the activities done on the day is great! Stacey is a friendly, professional Director, who has a smile on her face every time you see her. She is a wonderful leader to her staff and very nurturing to all the children, who communicates and listens to the needs of all parents. Well done to all the staff, keep doing what you are doing!!"
