Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay
About the Business
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay! Located at 13 Opal Drive in Blackmans Bay, Australia, our institution is a point of interest and a school that offers high-quality early learning and childcare services.
At Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay, we prioritize the well-being and development of your child. We provide a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can learn, play, and grow. Our dedicated team of educators works closely with families to create a supportive and engaging center that caters to each child's unique interests and enthusiasm.
As the Centre Director, I am Kylie, and I have been in the Early Childhood Education sector for over 11 years. Before joining Goodstart Blackmans Bay, I served as the Assistant Director at Goodstart North Hobart. I am passionate about creating positive learning experiences for children and building strong connections with families and the community.
In addition to our center-based programs, we also offer Goodstart at Home, a platform that allows parents to extend their child's learning at home through play. We believe in the power of play to enrich a child's development, and our Goodstart at Home program provides resources and support to enhance your child's learning outside of the center.
To make childcare more affordable for families, we offer a Child Care Subsidy estimator tool on our website. This tool helps you determine your eligibility for subsidies, making Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay an accessible option for families.
When it comes to convenience, we have six parking spaces available in front of the center, and curbside parking is also an option. If you're coming from Kingston, simply turn left at the Mitre 10 fork onto Algona Road, then left onto Opal Drive just before reaching Roslyn Avenue. We are conveniently located opposite the Blackmans Bay Shopping Centre.
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 Organization, ensuring the safety and well-being of all children in our care. We also acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians and First Nations peoples across Australia, recognizing their cultural and spiritual connection to the land.
Join our Goodstart community and experience the most rewarding environment for professionals and the best start for your child's early learning journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our wonderful center at Goodstart Early Learning Blackmans Bay.

Reviews
"Like the comments state 3 years ago, this centre was amazing. My eldest Son was blessed with educators who genuinely loved caring for children. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for our youngest child who I have recently pulled out of this centre (2021-2022) after several issues. A huge number of staff have recently left, including a complete change of leadership. The love for children and quality education that once was this centre is no longer. 2/3/2022 The new reviews of this service are from staff members who have children at this service. The fact that 3 people have reviewed this service over the past three days makes me think they have been asked to do this. This demonstrates poor taste and even poorer ethics. This does not give a fair representation of this service at all - simply bias opinion."
"We've enrolled our little one in 2021 and 2022. There has been a bit of staff turnover in the centre with COVID but I feel the centre have endeavored to keep consistency in staff where possible, especially in the younger rooms. The team have worked with us to create shared goals, and create stimulating activities aligned with our daughters interests. Our daughter's key educators really care about the kids and take notice of small achievements and are happy to share and celebrate them with us as parents. This is really important to us. I can tell there is a good connection between our daughter and educators because she is saying their names and "talking" about them when not at care. Because I believe these relationships are very important I was initially anxious about leaving my daughter in care to return to work, but I know she is in good hands and has a good time. The photo updates also help and give me something to look forward to while I am at work."
"My boy has started in Room 4 in 2021, and room 5 this year. Team members are supported and really nice. A strong bond was built based on close communication between us. Daily activities are creative and meaningful. He always came home with happiness and excitement to share his day with me. I strongly recommend this center for families."
"Goodstart Blackmans Bay has made returning to work much easier than it could have been. In the 3+ years that our family have been involved with the centre, we have found the staff to be wonderful, caring and nurturing. The reinvestment back into the centre is constant, with new toys and equipment for the children to enjoy. Communication between Educators and families is excellent- we know what they have eaten each day, when they slept and what activities they have been up to through Storypark. Can not recommend Goodstart Blackmans Bay highly enough!!"
"Our eldest child started at this centre 4 years ago and we now have our daughter here too. We couldn’t be happier. Our children are incredibly well cared for and looked after. Their well-being and learning are very highly valued. The staff are all amazing. Very dedicated and friendly. The communication between childcare and home is also fantastic. We love seeing what our children are doing throughout the day on Storypark. Both our children love it and are happy to go in the morning and are forming some fantastic friendships. The rooms and outside space are inviting, exciting and provide fantastic opportunities for exploring and learning."
