About Headstart Early Learning Centre
Welcome to Headstart Early Learning Centre in Berwick, Australia! Our centre is located at 44 Parkhill Drive and is a point of interest for families living in or commuting through Berwick, Narre Warren, Beaconsfield, and surrounding suburbs. We are proud to hold an ‘Exceeding’ rating by the National Quality Standards (NQS), ensuring that we provide high-quality education and care for children from birth to 6 years of age.
At Headstart ELC Berwick, we prioritize creating a warm and homely environment for all children. Our purpose-built facilities are designed to cater to the unique needs of each child, and our caring and loving educators are dedicated to nurturing their development.
As the Centre Manager, my name is Heather, and I have been working in the early childhood education sector for 10 years, with 7 of those years at G8 Education. I started as an Assistant Educator in 2015 after completing my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. Throughout my career, I have primarily worked with infants in the Nursery, understanding the challenges new parents face when returning to work and placing their babies in childcare. This experience has fueled my passion for building collaborative relationships with parents and providing the best quality education and care for every child.
I am fortunate to work with a wonderful team in Berwick, who build meaningful relationships with each child and provide educational care that supports their growth and development.
We invite you to visit our centre and experience our facilities firsthand. Our Customer Engagement team can arrange a tour at your convenience, allowing you to observe our practices and interactions, explore the rooms and playgrounds, and have any questions answered by our qualified educators. If you are unable to visit in person, we also offer virtual tours for all our centres in New South Wales and Victoria.
To ensure that you receive regular updates on availability, we conduct monthly check-ins and send text messages to confirm your continued interest in our centre. Our Family Support team is always available through Web Chat or phone to provide updates or assist you in finding other G8 early learning centres with immediate availability.
Starting child care can be an anxious time for both children and parents. To ease this transition, we encourage you to participate in Stay and Play sessions at our centre and gradually introduce new routines at home. Our dedicated educators will support your child through this process and provide a nurturing environment for their development.
When preparing for your child's day at our centre, we provide nappies, wipes, sunscreen, hats, and nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres may also offer sheets and formula, so it's best to check with your chosen centre for a complete list of inclusions. For nursery children, additional items such as nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles, teats, comfort toys or blankets, spare outfits, socks, and a plastic bag for wet clothes may be required. For toddlers and preschool/kindergarten-aged children, spare underwear, a water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits, socks, and a plastic bag for wet clothes are recommended. Individual needs, such as breast milk, sleeping bags, comforters, or medication, should also be discussed with your centre.
To maintain a healthy environment for all children, we have policies in place regarding infectious illnesses. If your child shows signs of illness, you may be notified to make alternative arrangements or pick them up from the centre until they are no longer infectious. We understand that this can be inconvenient, but it is essential for the well-being of all children.
Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year, which can be used for any reason without the need for documentation.
If you would like to discuss your needs or learn more about our Kindergarten Program, please fill out the form on our website, and our local centre manager will be in touch. We also invite you to register your interest in attending a Kindergarten & Preschool Information Night or download our Kindergarten & Preschool e-book through the provided forms on our website.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Headstart Early Learning Centre in Berwick, where we strive to provide exceptional education and care for every individual child.

Reviews of Headstart Early Learning Centre
"Headstart Early Learning Berwick is the only centre I will send my children to. We have been attending here for the past 6 years. I cannot rate the centre manager and staff highly enough."
"Our first son has attended since he was 12 months old (now almost 5), and our second son (6 months old) is attending. The staff have only ever looked after my children like their own. We are truly grateful and appreciative of all they do. Very friendly, supportive and communicative staff! We love it and highly recommended other families to attend. Thank you ladies for all your hard work, support and kindness!"
"There are so many wonderful things I can mention about Headstart EL Berwick. My son has been attending since he was 7mo, he's now 15mths and absolutely thriving. Every single educator has a special and unique relationship with my son; every time I drop him off I have absolute confidence he will have the best day. There is such a strong and genuine interest in adhering to my son's dietary requirements and stimulating his intense personality. The centre goes above and beyond to include special activities and programs (and also has a fruit bowl at reception promoting healthy eating), and makes a consistent effort to communicate clearly with the parents. On top of this, the centre is always kept clean and tidy. I could not be more thrilled to send my child to such an incredible day care. Thank you to Hailey, Sue, Bella, Cath, Heather, Jess, Brittany, Alka and many more I've missed! From The Jayasundaras"
"Brittany and the team at Headstart are fantastic. The educators are friendly, kind and supportive. All staff go above & beyond to make sure your little one is comfortable and happy. You receive daily updates by the educators on your child via the app which always has a lot of thought and time put into them. Centre management also have clear communication with families. We are so happy with the care we receive from each and everyone person at Headstart."
"Both my daughter and son have attended Headstart over the years, my son is currently attending for 3 year old kinder there. We love Headstart, all the staff are amazing and I have always felt comfortable leaving my kids with them. The love and care they show my kids is so appreciated and makes for a great experience. My son is learning so much and comes home so happy everyday."
