    This was great to hear, especially the ‘green flags’ it’s nice to hear the positive side of things. Just fyi, I have two negative, low stars on my Google and I literally have no idea who the people are. What response do you think is best, other than ‘I don’t know you’?

The Truth Behind the NQS Ratings
Q: Who puts together the NQS or the standards?
A broad group of lead thinkers in the early childhood space and the regulatory body (ASIQWA) developed and continually reviews the standards to ensure they reflect important practice.
The Truth Behind the NQS Ratings
Q: Tell us, what is the NQS or the National Quality Standard?
The NQS is a set of standards that all early childhood providers must meet or be working towards meeting; it serves as a benchmark developed from research on what's important for looking after young children.
Is My Baby Too Young For Childcare?
Q: How young is too young for childcare, and what does the evidence say about starting at six weeks vs two years old?
The evidence suggests focus on quality and developmental readiness rather than fixed ages; high-quality care with stable staff and strong parent relationships can support infants well, while quality and context matter more than age alone.
