**About Goodstart Mount Nasura**:
Goodstart Early Learning Mount Nasura is a purpose built childcare centre catering for 75 children each day, situated in a convenient location on Albany Highway.

We have two nursery rooms catering to the needs of children aged eight weeks to 15 months and 16 months to two years; a toddler room for children aged two to three years, a junior kinder for children aged three to four years and a Kindergarten for four to five year olds.

Our friendly, caring, qualified educators are all experienced and hold their First Aid and Working With Children checks.

All our rooms are inviting, bright and well equipped with plenty of resources. We are very proud of our centre and pride ourselves on being family oriented with an emphasis on play based and educational learning facilities - in line with the Early Years Learning Framework.

Our Storypark platform and Facebook page enables us to stay in close contact with parents and families providing open and clear communication. This ensures that we tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths - as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.

Outside, we have age appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment, as well as their understanding of the importance of sustainability.

We are very passionate about the environment with a focus on nature play and strive to instil an interest in our children to care for and nurture our worm farm, flowers and vegetables.

We have a fabulous cook who provides heathy and nutritious meals which cater for all our children’s dietary needs.

We believe in providing a rich learning environment offering a range of art, music and movement experiences which enable our children to express their creativity freely.
