  Hopefully my review gives a more fair an objective picture of Croydon Early Learning Centre. I’ve also tried to include a bit of information about the national rating system so you know how to check out the standard of different services.
  
  Since 2009 there has been a national governing body that conducts independent ratings of each service (kinder, long day care etc.). They look at the service in relation to aspects such as educational program and practice, physical environment, child health and safety and staff ratios amongst other things.
  
  There are 5 levels:
  
  Working towards National Standards
  Significant Improvement required
  Meeting National Standards
  Exceeding National Standards
  Excellent
  
  Croydon Early Learning Centre achieved a rating overall at exceeding national standards. Each service by law must display their national rating in the front entrance of the building.
  
  Yes, the building is a bit older (it has been a functioning childcare facility for over 40 years!). The business owners, who do not actually own the building, Shameem and Sanjay are still frequently updating and improving the facilities. For example: last week a new shade cloth area was added to the toddler yard and the animal barnyard was re-done. And yes, there is a vacation holiday program.
  
  Some of the things I really value about the centre include:
  • the centre is a smaller centre with approximately 50 places, so all the staff know all the kids really well! As staff members walk in in the morning you will see kids running to hug and greet them. The walls are filled with children’s artwork and there is a lovely homely feel.
  • the staff are culturally diverse and friendly. Many members of the the team are bilingual, which is great for families whose primary language is not English!
  • The directors, Shameem and Sanjay work on site and are friendly and accessible. They are always happy to help parents access any funding options that they are entitled too.
  
  When considering different early education and care settings for your child, I would look at the services national rating, read their philosophy and have a tour of the setting to get a feel for the centre.
