Quality of Care and Regulatory Standards

Quality Childcare Standards

Exceptional Care, Backed by Standards You Can Trust

Exceeding Expectations, Not Just Meeting Them

At Oz Education, quality is not just a checkbox — it’s our commitment to your child’s development, safety, and joy. We follow, and aim to exceed the National Quality Standards (NQS) and Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring your child receives care that is purposeful, regulated, and enriched by real human connection.

What ‘Quality Care’ Means to Us

Personalised, Child-Led Learning
Every child is unique. Our programs are built around their interests, strengths, and developmental needs, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework.

Purposeful Play-Based Curriculum
Our educators create dynamic learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, communication, and social-emotional development — all through the power of play.

Safe and Stimulating Environments
Each classroom is thoughtfully designed to inspire learning, while also supporting health, safety, and calm. Our outdoor areas encourage exploration, confidence and resilience.

Meeting Standards and Going Beyond

Rated Against the National Quality Standard (NQS)
Oz Education early learning centres are rated by ACECQA across all 7 quality areas. Many of our centres meet the national standard — and we’re committed to continuous improvement in all areas.

Internal Quality Audits
Our leadership team regularly audits all centres internally to ensure consistency, best practice, and proactive improvement — long before any official visits.

Full Regulatory Compliance, Zero Compromise
We are fully licensed and comply with all government regulations. This includes child safety protocols, staff qualifications, educator-to-child ratios, hygiene, and reporting requirements.

Our Educators Make the Difference

Highly Qualified Teams
Our educators hold early childhood qualifications and are supported by Educational Leaders and Centre Directors committed to mentoring and growth.

Curriculum Planning with Purpose
Each educator engages in intentional teaching, thoughtful documentation, and reflection — so every activity is meaningful and inspiring.

Professional Development Culture
We provide ongoing training in curriculum design, early intervention, inclusion, child protection, and more — so our educators remain at the forefront of best practice.

Transparency for Parents

Curriculum Access
Parents can see what their child is learning each week — and why. We explain the learning goals behind each experience so you can support learning at home.

Regular Progress Updates
Through our parent app, educators share observations, learning stories, photos, and goals — so you’re part of your child’s journey.

Openness to Feedback
We actively invite parent feedback and make improvements based on what families value most.
