Regulation & Rating and Assessment
The Early Childhood Education Directorate (ECED) has regulatory responsibility to raise quality and drive continuous improvement and consistency in NSW early education and care services.
The NSW Department of Education is the Regulatory Authority in NSW responsible for regulating early childhood education and care services in NSW. This regulatory responsibility includes monitoring, assessment and rating, and the provision of regular feedback, review, and enforcement
of compliance and approval processes for all services and providers.
The NQF introduced a new quality standard in 2012 to improve education and care
across long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten, and outside school hours care services.
