The newest childcare centre in Aura, Goodstart Early Learning Nirimba, is set to open its doors in April 2025. The state-of-the-art facility will offer 132 much-needed places for children aged 0–5 years.
Located just 500 metres from Nirimba State Primary School, this new centre will give families access to early learning right on their doorstep. This allows parents to enjoy the convenience of walking their children to care.
Goodstart Nirimba will feature eight spacious learning areas and nature-inspired indoor and outdoor play spaces. An on-site chef will prepare fresh meals daily. The centre will also be eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and the Queensland Government’s ‘Free Kindy’ program.

Stockland Development Director Josh Sondergeld said the new Goodstart Early Learning Centre represents an important milestone in delivering essential services for Aura’s growing population.
“The centre joins Aura’s growing portfolio of education options, which includes 20 proposed educational facilities spanning schools, childcare centres, and a proposed university and TAFE,” Mr Sondergeld added.
Kerrin Thomas, Queensland State Manager for Goodstart Early Learning, said the new centre would benefit Aura families by combining high-quality care with play-based learning approaches.
“This centre will provide a nurturing, home-like environment with highly qualified educators who tailor programs to each child’s interests and strengths, ensuring they’re ready for the transition to formal schooling,” Ms Thomas said.
