Simon Laube: Early Childhood Council Chief Executive on some ECE centres not meeting required standards
About this episode
Early childhood centres are lifting their game, with fewer falling below quality standards.
Education Review Office monitoring shows 47% of standalone services didn’t meet the quality threshold, down from 64% a year earlier.
Early Childhood Council Chief Executive Simon Laube says the reviews are just snapshots and even the best centres go through staff changes and have to rebuild quality.
He told Ryan Bridge that the reviews are sensitive, so anything that’s slightly out of place will appear on the review, and pretty much everyone will have something.
