Validation Results.
We are happy to say that we have received our results for Validation. The centre received an overall rating of Meeting Quality Standard. We did receive Exceeding in Quality Areas 6 Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities and 7 Leadership and Service Management. The validator expressed to us that we are so close to receiving Exceeding for all quality areas we just need to work on a couple of things to achieve this. She expressed that the centre has great outdoor spaces, the children lovely and the educators are doing a great job.
Areas for improvement are: making sure all children are engaged in the experience at all times, more natural experiences in the younger rooms, educators are consistently and constantly engaged with the children scaffolding their learning. We will continue to work hard to achieve exceeding in all areas.
