About Goodstart Banksia Grove
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Banksia Grove is situated in a prime location next to Banksia Grove Primary School and directly behind the local community centre on Viridian Drive. We have parking to the front of the building and a bus stop directly beside us! The centre was built in 2009 and is part of a growing community with many new homes and amenities being built, including a new high school and shopping centre.
Our centre provides care and education for children from 6 weeks to five years of age. We have strong links with the local community and are looking forward to the addition of a child and parent centre that is being built in our street for families to utilise and access. 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.
