Early childhood education and care providers

The NSW Department of Education regulates early childhood education and care services. They assess providers against the National Quality Standard, give them a quality rating, and offer advice on what to look for when choosing a quality service.

You can search for providers near you on the government's StartingBlocks – Find Child Care page.
The search results include a map option that gives you a clear picture of the number and precise location of providers, within your area.

Note: Parenting young children is a useful source of information, support services and guides for parents and carers in NSW to help their child get the best start in life.
