Goodstart Early Learning Ocean Reef is hands down the best daycare centre in Perth. The educators and staff are experienced, knowledgeable, kind and nurturing. They have created a wonderful and welcoming environment for my 6 month old daughter, making the transition to daycare so positive. They tailor their care to her individual needs and send through photo updates which I love. I couldn’t speak more highly of the centre and recommend it to anyone looking for quality daycare.

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.
Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool 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.
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.
Goodstart Early Learning employs qualified and skilled educators who are dedicated to making a difference to the children in their care. The centre employs people who are empathetic and compassionate, with a nurturing disposition and a passion for care. Working collaboratively as a team, the educators display qualities such as positivity, kindness and, most importantly, a desire to help every child thrive.
The educators hold relevant qualifications, including the Kindergarten and Preschool Program teachers who are university qualified. The educators are lifelong learners, participating in regular and ongoing professional development to enhance their skills. They are encouraged to upskill, learning about the latest research and thinking in the sector. They can then bring this knowledge back to the centre to share with their colleagues for the benefit of the children.
Kacey Honeysett
Kaya families, my name is Kacey Honeysett and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Ocean Reef.
I began my early childhood education and care career in 2010 and started working with Goodstart Early Learning in 2018. I hold a Diploma of Children’s Services and have worked in the early childhood education industry for the last 12 years, where I started as a trainee educator. From there, I obtained my diploma and spent six years as a lead educator. In the last six years, I worked as an educational leader and other management roles.
My passion for children has led me to a career in the early years as I aim to assist every child in their life journey by taking the time to get to know each child’s strengths, needs and wants. I believe doing this helps to create strong bonds between myself and the children. I believe in embracing the uniqueness of every child and providing an inclusive care environment.
By creating an inclusive environment, each child can create a sense of belonging. By achieving this, development is enhanced, and we can help create a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
I have learnt and maintained a strong belief in children learning through play. When children are provided with opportunities within their own interests and in a manner where they are comfortable and safe and without the fear of failing enables the most amazing learning to occur.
As an educator, I respect and welcome all contributions from children, families, and community members to be introduced into our curriculums and play.
I understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, childcare subsidy, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.
At Goodstart Early Learning Ocean Reef, we have educators who are committed, compassionate, passionate, and honest. We look forward to welcoming you to our Goodstart Ocean Reef family.

Prefacing this review that I was considering seeking daycare through this business upon my son turning 3. My mother and 14 month old went on a walk they regularly take this morning. My 14 month old stopped and was looking through the bars of the outside area where the children were playing. A younger blonde worker enquired if my mother was look at care for him there, when she said no, the worker advised them to “move on” Then when my mother indicated this was rude given he’s a 14 month old she came back with another worker telling her to move him on. Whilst I support children’s safety and would call myself vigilant about this. This was totally rude and lacked professionalism given he’s a baby. Had this been a teenager or sole adult or group of adults looking into the outdoor area, I would understand this and support it but if this is the lack of compassion staff show a baby I will not look at care through this company and having grown up in this suburb will tell others of the level of rudeness displayed today. Get some customer service training in for this people asap!

Nothing but good things to say about Goodstart Ocean Reef. My daughter started going here when she was eight months old and loved every second she was there (it was even hard to bring her home sometimes). She was in two different rooms during her time there and the carers in both rooms are beyond amazing (Chelsea, Selina, Birender, Maryanne, Sarah, Hali, Ashleigh, Taylor). They do anything to help the students progress in their development. I can’t imagine where my child would be at without being here. At 19 months old her language, social and motor skills are beyond that of expected for her age and it is definitely down to the range of activities and learning provided for her at Goodstart. All the staff members are so welcoming and lovely, especially Kacey and Rachel who it was so great to chat to every morning. Unfortunately we had to move due to moving out of the area but we were absolutely heartbroken to leave and the whole centre was sad to see us go. They made us feel so special and valued. We will miss Goodstart Ocean Reef terribly!
Thank you Isabella for your heartfelt words about your experience at Goodstart Ocean Reef. We are genuinely touched by your positive feedback and are thrilled to hear that your daughter enjoyed her time with us, thriving in both her social and developmental skills. Your kind compliments about our amazing team mean a lot to us. It's wonderful to know that Kacey, Rachel, Chelsea, Selina, Birender, Maryanne, Sarah, Hali, Ashleigh, and Taylor, played a significant role helping your family feel welcome and contributed so much to your little one's growth and development. We're grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to your child's early learning journey and appreciate the special connection we shared. If life ever brings you back to the area, we'd be overjoyed to welcome you again.
