2026 Central Outdoor Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary - Hard Cover Spiral Bound

Butlers Diaries

I've been purchasing Program and reflection diaries from Butlers for many years, and I wouldn't purchase them from anywhere else. They have everything you need to do a complete program. The new column on the end "Extension experiences etc is a great addition. The jotters notebok is a good size for carrying arund through out the day, to make notes, write ideas and write brief observations.

2024 6 Month Weekly Programming and Reflection Child Educator Diary

Best thing ever

The Exceeding Guidance for the National Quality Standard: Evidence Summary is a really great book for centres that repeat on one standards instead of exploring others to make the childcare place a better place for children. The resources in this book are a really big help in order to meet our standards.

Yes — purchases made during the Black Friday sale are still covered by our standard return and exchange policy (please see our Returns & Exchanges page). That means if the diary is unused and in original condition, you may request an exchange or refund within the timeframe stated in the policy. (Please note: check the T&Cs for specific product return policies)

We still accept all our usual payment methods during the sale: credit card, direct deposit, invoice, purchase order and PayPal Pay in 4.

We are 100% here to support you in every way we are before and after the sale.

Because of the increased order volume during the Black Friday period, we ask for your patience. Orders placed between the start of the sale and midnight Monday will be processed sequentially. Our team will endeavour to ship all orders within 2–3 business days, but dispatch may take slightly longer than usual depending on volume.

Shipping times once dispatched remain unchanged — however, given the season and courier demand, you should allow a few extra days for delivery in Australia. We recommend placing your order as early as possible in the sale window to avoid delays and to help ensure you receive your items in good time for programming planning or centre use.
