About Goodstart Tapping
We are a purpose built centre with four large spacious rooms and shady outdoor environments providing care and education for children aged six weeks to five years old. Children and families at our centre come from a diverse range of nationalities and we enjoy incorporating these cultures and experiences into our centre programs. We have a team of educators who are Diploma Qualified on permanent shifts ensuring that we provide continuity and a high level of care for our families and children. Most of our wonderful educators have children of our own, which allows us to relate to parents and provide first hand advice.
Our centre was assessed by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority and we received an overall rating of ‘Exceeding'. This process is a National Framework, which rates all Childcare Centres across Australia against the National Quality Standards.
