Most places I know big name or not will offer perm part time unless you are actually a casual with no fixed hours. Personally I would look beyond the big names.
I have only ever known one centre in my nearly 10 years in Australia who did not have any perm employees apart from the Director

Hi,
I've been working at a few centres over the years and they are all different, it depends on what you are looking for.
do you have a preferred method of your childcare.

I've worked at about 14 different goodstart's and they are all different, apart of big business is more support, a smaller one will have more of a close network.
