Are you preparing for a National Quality Standard (NQS) assessment but don’t have enough evidence for your centre’s teaching practices? This guide can help you showcase your educators working hard to follow approved learning frameworks and outcomes. It also illustrates how Programming and Planning (P&P) software can make it easier for your teams to prepare for an audit and help your service stand out with a high NQS rating.
Are your educators impacting your NQS rating?
Services rated Working Towards NQS recorded the lowest occupancy at 49%.
Full health recording
Record nappy changes, sleep logs, nutrition, medication administration, incident forms, sunscreen application and more. Every logged health event automatically attributes the educator and a time stamp. And all this is done with 2 clicks in the Playground app.
Countdown timers for critical health events
Nappies, sleep, and sunscreen applications all include countdown timers designed to help remind you to action the next health event. Improve your NQS QA2 score and keep organised during busy periods.
Health reporting
Generate reporting on health and emergency evacuations that Storypark Manage can't track.
Reliable regulatory & health compliance features.

Why parents love Playground.
Increase connection to a child’s learning journey
Parents receive regular live updates about everything their child is doing with the ability to download photos and videos. From health events to observations of playtime to excursions, parents love being connected to their child’s day.
Photo and video observation capabilities
Include up to 16 photos in a carousel observation (photo cycle) or up to 30sec for a video observation. Easily add titles, descriptions, future planning ideas and dates, learning outcomes from not only approved learning frameworks but also childhood theorists and the NQS.
Custom free form planning
Sick of templated planning limitations? So were we, so we built a free form drag and drop planning builder. Do it your way, without imposing restrictions from your software provider.
At home learning plans
Create comprehensive lesson plans with video for parents through tailored child portfolios. Guide parents on themes, instructions, tasks and examples on what to do with their children’s learning activities. Includes two-way messaging for logging daily progress.
Portfolio categorisations
View individual child portfolios, educator portfolios and room portfolios. Great for that end of year scrapbook for parents as their child's learning is all in one place.
