About our centre

Goodstart Varsity Lakes is conveniently located next to Bond University, close to an array of local businesses and easily accessible from the local bus route. The Varsity Lakes community consists of university students and teachers, and caters to a large multi-cultural population. The centre has been operating in the area for over 10 years.

Our child care centre caters for children from six weeks to five years. Most of our families have been with the centre long-term, with children starting in the nursery and graduating from our Kindergarten room.

Goodstart Varsity Lakes has a family-friendly feel, with nurturing and qualified staff. Families love the consistency of long term staff, most of whom have worked at the centre for over a decade. All of our team members are either Diploma-qualified or working towards their qualification.

We understand that communication is important to families, and offer a range of different communication methods. In addition to verbal communication we maintain daily program books which describe in detail what children have done at the centre each day. A community noticeboard is also available for families to keep up-to-date with events and happenings at the centre. Families are encouraged to visit the centre any time throughout the day, and we love receiving feedback on any changes or improvements we could make to our service.

Goodstart Varsity Lakes run a kinder-funded program with a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, who works closely with the Varsity Primary School to provide children with the skills for starting school. Our Kindergarten children are also offered additional activities including Nikko Nikko Japanese classes and Kelly Sports.

Our doors are always open to new families and we would love to welcome you into our extended family.

Amanda Jeffery

Centre Director

Hello! My name is Amanda Jeffery, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Early Learning Varsity Lakes.

I have been with Goodstart as a Centre Director since 2002 and have worked at a number of centres across the Gold Coast.  

Creating an environment where strong relationships between children and their families can be developed, is of the upmost importance.  Working collaboratively ensures each child is given every opportunity to reach their full potential.  Each child is a unique individual and by providing them with a stimulating learning environment we can make sure they have the best possible start in life.

Here at Goodstart Varsity Lakes, we are fortunate to work alongside a well experienced and highly qualified team, who all have the passion and drive to provide children with the highest quality of care and learning.
Please don’t hesitate to stop by, say hello and meet the wonderful team here at Varsity Lakes.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family into our little community!
