The National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care (NQF) is a set of national guidelines recently introduced in Australia for the childcare sector, including out of school hours care services such as Eaton Street Centre. 

​

The NQF includes a national legislative framework, a National Quality Standard, a quality rating and assessment process and a national body to provide oversight of the system – the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA). 

​

Eaton Street Centre is expected to be assessed and rated against seven national quality standards in 2024. 

​

In the last review under the previous system, which was completed in March 2022, Eaton Street Centre received a 'Meeting National Standards' rating in all areas assessed by the National Childcare Accreditation Council.
