This book describes what you can do to prepare for your NQS assessment and rating and how you can achieve continuous quality improvement in your setting. It points out the difference between achieving ‘meeting’ versus achieving ‘exceeding’ the national quality standard, and provides a multitude of helpful documents to use as a starting point to determine what you are already doing well and what you need to do to get your service to an exceeding level.
The book is designed to challenge your thinking on what quality education and care looks like, feels like and sounds like at your service. The resources can be used as a guide or a starting point to ensure that you and your team are raising the bar and striving to improve the programs, practices and leadership to provide better outcomes for the children in your care every day.
The first chapter describes the assessment and rating progress and explains why all services should strive for continuous quality improvement, even if they have already achieved an ‘exceeding’ rating level. The following seven chapters cover each quality area, and include detailed guidance and strategies, planning guidelines, reflection questions and checklists.
