Disgusting, and a difficult read.

For the nearly ten years they were operating, none of the centres ever met minimum quality ratings.

Are these ratings public? Not that it would make it okay, but at least gives people half a chance of avoiding scum like this.

Anyway, once again the issue with relying on private companies that only care about money to manage something so important reveals itself.

And don’t forget the Spud wants to lower supervision ratios to 1:50.

Yes all early learning centres are rated by ACEQUA and you can search their database online:

We are well-past this stage, but at least the place that our kids attended is "Meeting NQS". Which stands to reason, it was a council-run centre.
