Summary comments
Overall, the service is committed to children’s wellbeing, learning and development. The influences and programming support children as individuals and respected members of the community. It was evident children were the focus of the program and educators had the ability to extend children’s learning and growth at every opportunity. The relationships and interactions observed throughout the service were consistently supportive and respectful.



As a centre we were pleased to be rated at this level but would also like to acknowledge that the new rating and assessment process has been designed as an ongoing procedure of reflection and improvement that continues beyond the assessment .
