Quality You Can Trust in Every Centre
At Affinity Education, quality isn’t just something we talk about - it’s something we deliver, measure, and continually improve. Every day, our educators, leaders, and support teams work together to provide safe, inspiring early education experiences - helping every child build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
As a proud provider of over 250 early education centres across Australia, we are committed to upholding the National Quality Framework (NQF). More than 90% of our centres are rated as Meeting or Exceeding the National Quality Standard (NQS), a reflection of our deep commitment to children’s learning, safety, wellbeing, and development.
What Quality Means to Us
Quality at Affinity is more than compliance - it’s about delivering meaningful outcomes for every child, every day.
We ensure every centre aligns with:
- The Education and Care Services National Law and Regulations
- The Early Years Learning Framework and My Time, Our Place
- The seven National Quality Standards
We take pride in offering environments where children feel safe and inspired, and where educators are supported to continually grow and improve.
