Northern Beaches Council’s education and care services have again exceeded national quality standards.

Cromer Vacation Care, Brookvale Children’s Centre and Belrose Children’s Centre have been recognised as ‘Exceeding the National Quality Standard’.

The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets the benchmark for the quality of children’s education and care services across Australia. 

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said Cromer Vacation Care is now ranked in the top 10% in New South Wales.

“Reaching this high standard is no easy feat. The overall rating of ‘Exceeding’ is given only to services that go above and beyond the requirements of the Standard,” Mayor Heins said.

“It is well deserved recognition of the efforts, expertise and skills of our dedicated educators and staff.”

“We are so fortunate to have a children’s services team that is committed to continually improving our education and care services.”

Services are assessed against the NQS by the NSW Early Childhood Education and Care Directorate with assessments made against 7 key areas including health and safety, educational programs, relationships with children and leadership.

The NQS assessment officer commented:

“Your service is commended on its achievements in providing quality outcomes for children. In particular, reflective practice, continued learning and willingness to collaborate with families and other community organisations to enhance children’s learning and wellbeing demonstrate the commitment to quality by educators at your service.”
