YMCA Pakenham has shown us nothing but warmth since my daughters started here. I feel safe have my child here and they feel it as their second home which is shown on drop offs when my daughter reaches out for her educators and yells out their names. Cant fault the love and care the educators have shown my daughter. Read more

The staff at Pakenham YMCA are beyond caring and reassuring and have been nothing but fantastic in providing love and care to my little one.

Rachel, we thank you for taking the time to share your positive thoughts. We are thrilled to hear your son is happy and that you feel a strong sense of connectedness to the educators. It is crucial to us that parents feel their child is in a safe and caring learning environment every day, so we are glad you feel this from the team. Thanks again.

As a working mum, it was incredibly important to me to find a childcare that filled me with confidence when leaving my daughter in their care. She has been with the Y at Pakenham since six months old, and it has been almost a year now; I couldn't recommend the Y enough. Not only are the staff across the whole center amazing with the kids, they genuinely care about your whole family unit. Very friendly, dedicated and above all else, they love the kids in their care.

In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
