Little Bunnies Preschool

Our strong commitment to child safety at Little Bunnies Preschool

All managers, staff and volunteers are committed to implementing the NSW Child Safe Standards. The safety, health and wellbeing of children is the number one priority of all staff and volunteers who understand children’s safety is a shared responsibility. We have zero tolerance for any form of child abuse and are committed to acting in children’s best interests. Our policies and procedures support and inform this commitment, and our leaders and managers regularly review staff and volunteer practices and understanding, prioritising training or taking other relevant action if required.

Our policies and procedures also support and comply with the Education and Care National Law and Regulations, and the National Quality Standard (NQS), whose guiding objective and principles outlined in section 3 include ensuring “the safety, health and wellbeing of children attending  education and care services”, “the rights and best interest of children are paramount”, the principles of equity, inclusion and diversity underlie this Law”,” that Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued”, and “that the role of parents and families is respected and supported.” This objectives and principles are embedded in many of the Laws and Regulations which we must comply with. The Laws, Regulations and NQS elements which are particularly relevant to child safety are listed above.

We provide nutritious and delicious meals that support children’s health, energy, and development. Our menu is designed in alignment with the Munch & Move program, promoting healthy eating habits and physical wellbeing from an early age. Meals are prepared and delivered by Kids Gourmet Food (KGF), a trusted provider of childcare catering that meets national dietary guidelines. Our meals with KGF are also Halal certified. We regularly review our menu based on children’s preferences and feedback to ensure mealtimes are both enjoyable and nourishing. Special dietary requirements and cultural needs are always respected and accommodated.

At Little Bunnies, we recognise parents as the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. We are committed to building strong, respectful partnerships with families and actively involving them in our centre’s decision-making processes. We welcome and value parent input in shaping our programs, policies, events, and quality improvement goals. Through regular communication, surveys, meetings, and collaborative planning, we ensure that family voices are heard and reflected in our practices. By working together, we create a supportive and inclusive learning environment that truly meets the needs of our children and community.

Our educational programs are thoughtfully designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and responsive to each child’s individual needs, interests, and developmental stage. We follow a child-centred approach, where children are active participants in their learning journey. Our educators observe, listen, and extend on children’s ideas to create meaningful experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

We also offer a dedicated Transition to School Program, which helps children build the skills, confidence, and routines needed for a smooth and successful move to kindergarten. Through strong connections with local schools and regular school readiness activities, we support children in feeling prepared, secure, and excited for the next step in their learning journey.
