Our Commitment to Quality at Greater West Childcare

At Greater West Childcare, we adhere to the high standards set by the National Quality Framework (NQF), which establishes a national benchmark for early childhood education and care, as well as outside school hours care services in Australia.

The Nation Quality Standard (NQS) encompasses seven key quality areas crucial to children's development and well-being.

Our services are evaluated and rated by the regulatory authority against the NQS, receiving individual ratings for each of the seven quality areas and an overall rating based on these assessments.

Additionally, we integrate our compliance with the Child Safe Standards (CSS) throughout our NQS implementation, ensuring we meet the highest level of child safety throughout our organisation.
