Goodstart is celebrating its’ centres success with strong representation at the 2024 Kindicare Excellence Awards, earning 14 accolades for their outstanding family and community reputation and commitment to high quality early learning.

Each year, the KindiCare Excellence Awards recognise and celebrate the top performing early childhood education and care services in Australia.  

The KindiCare Rating is a unique score given to every early learning service in the country, combining data from the centres, feedback and reviews from parents and families, and government assessment and ratings under the National Quality Framework, to provide an indication of a childcare service’s performance.  

Excitingly, Goodstart Red Hill was awarded joint winner of the 2024 National Winner Award receiving a perfect KindiCare Rating of 10.0.

Goodstart Red Hill Centre Director Renee Mitchell said her team were both proud and excited to receive the award, which underscores their work as leaders in the sector.

“This award highlights to us the importance of building strong and respectful relationships with all families, as well as the importance of showcasing best practice at our service through our online reach - because this is not an award that we applied for, Renee said.

“We are looking forward to celebrating this recognition together.”

It’s been an incredible year for Goodstart Red Hill, which received the highly coveted Excellent rating by ACECQA in February 2024 (read more ).
