“Jen and Craig really helped me turn our centre around with their great audit, mentorship and advice. Thank you. Very very highly recommended.“
Sandra Williams - Centre Director
“As AIWT, a registered training organisation, it was always a pleasure working with Jen and Craig in Kids College Childcare Centre. We were well aware of their commitment to quality and was always assured that any trainee or work placement student would have the best opportunity to learn from the best. From their insistence of having good training and practices beyond industry standards, Jen and Craig truly embodied what our child care industry stands for. “
Yvonne - CEO Budding Sproutz & AIWT
“As Budding Sproutz Miniversity, we reached out to Jen and Craig to assist us in our A&R Audit. Rather than making improvements for us, they taught us what to do. They showed us how to improve our systems and processes, how to work with our team and how to improve our marketing. They had the solutions to all our identified concerns and also to all the issues we were not even aware of. Our enrolments steadily grew and continue to grow with the improvements and with their assistance, we scored Meeting for all Quality Areas in our A&R. Most importantly, we are now confident in taking our centre forward and aiming for Exceeding in our next A&R.
I would highly recommend BEST Childcare Consultancy Services if you are looking to set up a centre, to improve your centre or to increase your enrolments.“
