Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi I'm new to Aussie Childcare Network and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with G8 Education? As staff, director, parent etc. What is it like?

Good points: all very professional for parents with strict rules and policies for staff. Their centre are probably the safest ever they are really strict on safety , ratios etd

Welcome to Aussie Childcare Network!

I worked for G8 Education for five months and found their education standards/level of care extremely good, however at this particular centre they didn't follow policies and procedures on certain incidents in which I was asked to write two incident reports. Nothing was done to improve the situation and the innocent were left without a voice. I found it extremely frustrating and upsetting too.
I was then asked to ensure that several infants/children be kept away from the said individual as they were highly distressed being near this carer.
I also found G8 not as flexible as they claim to be. I was then refused shifts because I couldn't come in at 15 minutes notice and start at 6:30am as I had young children and my hubby was a night shift worker and I couldn't work from 9am till 6:30pm five days a week. I was also studying part time as well.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a crap experience. Hopefully that this is just a one off and usually it's due to the staff and director that make up the centre rather than the "brand" itself.

I really hope you have found a happier place,
