About our centre

Goodstart early Learning Child Care Centre Bondi Junction - Oxford Street West is a 65 place child care centre conveniently located on Level 6 of the Bondi Westfield Shopping Centre, with easy access to the Bondi Junction Terminal for those families who commute into the city as well as servicing the neighbouring suburbs of Woollahra, Tamarama and Edgecliff. We also have designated parking spaces allocated to our centre to enable a safe drop off for families. Our centre is secure and accessible with a pin code that is given only to our parents.
 
Our childcare centre is spacious and filled with natural light and our rooms are split into three age groups. We have two beautiful outdoor play areas for each age group at the centre. 
 
Our educators are committed professionals who foster an ethos of respect and belonging. Our team is culturally diverse and this diversity translates into our educational programs. We also encourage families to participate in the development of our responsive program.  
 
We have a strong focus on supporting the holistic development of each child. Our program builds learning skills, early literacy and numeracy, life skills and social and emotional resilience. We also offer extra-curricular experiences on a weekly basis to support our program. 

Inside, all of the rooms  - from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool - are all set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning.

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. Our playground has sandpits, a wooden boat, climbing equipment, compost bin, worm farm and vegetable patch, climbing equipment and lots of space to run.
 
Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
   
Our on-site cook is a qualified Hospitality Chef who provides nutritious meals daily and caters for a number of special dietary requirements. Our cook creates the meals on our menu using a mixture of vegetarian and non-vegetarian ingredients using the Long Day Care Menu Planning Method developed by the NSW Department of Health.

At our child care centre we build strong connections with families and children through a Primary Care Educator approach. 

Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.

We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.

Lesley Shneier

Centre Director

Hi, I’m Lesley Shneier and I’m the Centre Director here at Goodstart Bondi Junction West. 

I hold a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education, and take great joy and satisfaction in overseeing the educational programs and care at Goodstart Bondi Junction West.

I have been in the Early Childhood industry for almost 40 years and as a Director for 20 years. I have been privileged to have had the opportunity to impact many children’s lives by instilling a love for learning, growth and development.

My Early Learning values:
I believe that developing positive and collaborative relationships with staff and families is paramount. I have always had an open-door policy and encourage both staff and families to pop in either for a chat or to address any concerns and to offer my guidance and support.
Together with my team, I am committed to offering a safe and loving environment for children and infants in which they can flourish and reach their full potential. All children are capable and active learners, and we need to advocate for them where they are heard and respected.
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences” (Reggio Emilia)

What I love about our community:
When children are raised in a community that values care and development, they benefit from positive interactions with other children, caregivers, and adults in their lives. Events, programs, and initiatives help bring us all together and this connection and engagement helps build a strong sense of shared responsibility for children’s wellbeing.

A little more about me: 
I am originally from South Africa and moved to Australia in 1999 with my husband and 2 children. I am blessed with 2 grandchildren who bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face every day.
When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me enjoying walking around the local neighbourhood, spending time with my family and friends and reading a good book in the sunshine.

Why your child should spend the day with me (and the amazing team at Goodstart Bondi Junction West):
I believe that the environment should feel like a 2nd home for your children where they feel a sense of belonging and are loved and nurtured. As parents you know your child better than we do and we value your input and want to share in your child’s learning journey.
I believe that Happy children make Happy parents.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our family at Goodstart Bondi Junction West.
