Exceeding National Quality Standards

Navigating the Assessment and Rating process can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. With my tailored guidance, you’ll be ready to approach it with confidence, clarity, and the expertise to showcase your centre at its best.

I’ve supported multiple centres to an exceeding rating and I sleep well knowing I’m advocating for practice that supports little people to have the best early education and care possible.

What to expect

The assessment and rating process plays a crucial role in elevating the quality of early learning across Australia. But let's be real - it is a daunting process! It’s important but losing sleep is not want I want for you (trust me, I’ve been there)

I am here to be your overseeing eyes, that extra lens to ensure you have considered all your T’s and dotted those i’s. My support will look at all Quality Areas with a targeted focus on areas - 1, 3 and 5.

The process is tailored because your centre is unique, with its own set of challenges as well as a rich history of all the amazing things you’ve already accomplished. To get started, reach out to discuss where you’re currently at with your preparation. Whether you’re looking for comprehensive support or help tackling specific challenges, I’m here to guide you through.

This process is not a mock assessment but rather a thorough review of your centre’s practices. I’ll gather key information and evidence, then provide a detailed report with clear insights and tailored recommendations to help you meet best practice standards and focus on continuous improvement.

Once your report is ready, we’ll connect for a virtual or face-to-face meeting to go over the findings and next steps with your leadership team.
