Goodstart Early Learning Welshpool Centre overview
Children aged 6 weeks to 5 years will feel right at home in the warm and friendly environment at Goodstart Welshpool. The centre takes an engaging approach to learning, with a curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework.
The carefully designed outside playground provides the children with a balance of both natural and manmade elements. A sandpit and garden beds sit alongside engaging climbing equipment. The children also learn about the importance of sustainability as they play under the shade of trees. Children can also visit the chickens at the centre chicken coop.
The indoor areas are equipped with the latest resources and tailored to meet the developmental needs of the children. This includes a light table and home corner. As the children play in both the indoor and outdoor learning spaces, they do so alongside their peers. This aids their social skills development while they form early friendships.
Located in the heart of Welshpool, the centre is easy to access via public transport or car with a large car park available on site. Why not book a tour of this friendly and inviting centre today?

Curriculum and programs
Curriculum and programs
The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.
As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.
The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.
Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach. The educators embed teaching and learning into play experiences, helping the children to make sense of the world around them. This is how the children learn about how things work and develop important foundational relationships and skills.
The primarily child-directed, play-based curriculum ensures that the children are engaged in their learning. They are encouraged to take the lead, developing their negotiation, risk taking, problem solving and social skills. The educators observe the children and help to challenge them by extending their learning and interests.
The educators recognise that every child is unique and that they bring their own needs, interests and strengths with them each day. The program is designed to be flexible to cater to these differing needs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Goodstart.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress.
The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.
The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

When my son was ready to go to childcare, I was visiting childcare to find a suitable one. I actually went to about 20 different childcare’s and almost gave up and this place was the last. The moment I walked in, it was so welcoming and I felt my son will be in good hands here. Fast forward one year, I am absolutely impressed and amazed at how well they take care of every little detail. The best decision I made. Not only is my son being well looked after but he is also learning so much every single day. It is truly the best childcare I have ever come across. Well done :) Read more
