What Assurance Standards We Meet: Accreditation and Certifications at Creative Learning
Choosing the right preschool isn’t just about cute classrooms and nice playgrounds. You want to know if this place is regulated? Is it safe? Are the staff properly trained?
At Creative Learning Preschool Ryde, we don’t just say we’re committed to quality, we prove it.
With robust industry certifications and government-accredited standards, we ensure our preschool meets (and often exceeds) the benchmarks set for early childhood education in Australia.
So, what does being an accredited preschool in Ryde really mean for you and your child?
Let’s break it down.
What is Accreditation in Early Childhood?
Accreditation is a formal review process that confirms a childcare provider meets national quality and safety standards.
In Australia, this is governed by:
The National Quality Framework (NQF)
The National Quality Standard (NQS)
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)
Our certified childcare centre in North Ryde operates under these frameworks, ensuring your child receives education and care that’s developmentally appropriate, safe, and genuinely enriching.
Key Accreditation Standards We Meet
Here’s what you can expect when enrolling your child at Creative Learning Preschool:
1. National Quality Standard (NQS) Compliance
We are assessed and rated against the 7 quality areas of the NQS:
Educational program and practice
Children’s health and safety

Governance and leadership
Our practices are regularly reviewed to ensure they align with current educational standards and child well-being requirements.
2. ACECQA Approved Centre
