1. Are you accredited?

Yes, our eligible service is accredited through the National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC). The NCAC is responsible for the administration of Child Care Quality Assurance systems for children's services throughout Australia. Its aim is to ensure that children in child care in Australia have stimulating, positive experiences and interactions that nurture all aspects of their development.

As part of the accreditation process, our Service has a visit from a Validator every 3 years, and during this time they will observe all aspects of our services within eight (8) quality areas. OOSH is currently accredited by NCAC to a high quality standard in all areas.
