Rated Exceeding the National Quality Standard
We are proud to have been rated Exceeding the National Quality Standard (NQS), a recognition awarded by the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA). This rating is given to services that go beyond the requirements of the National Quality Standard in multiple areas of practice, demonstrating a consistently high level of quality in early childhood education and care.
What "Exceeding" Means
An Exceeding rating indicates that our service:
- Delivers exceptional educational programs and learning outcomes for children
- Demonstrates strong, consistent and reflective practice across all aspects of care
- Shows highly effective leadership and continuous improvement
- Actively builds strong relationships with families and the wider community
- Consistently exceeds the benchmarks across the National Quality Standard quality areas
Why it Matters
The NQS sets a national benchmark for quality early learning in Australia. Achieving an Exceeding rating means our service is not only meeting these standards but consistently surpassing them, providing families with confidence that their children are learning and thriving in a high-quality environment.
