Let customers speak for us
from 499 reviewsAn amazing tool which I now use consistently. What did I ever do without it!
This makes my job 10000% easier. I know where all my compliance is and i can extend on everything i need to with ease
This is going to make my life so much easier and the quality is fantastic
I love these, especially the observation books. Looking forward to my next delivery
Coming from the Family Daycare sector of the industry, this diary has been an integral part of our compliance, planning, communications and programming!
We can not recommend highly enough!
Such a fantastic resource for jotting and planning; a must for dedicated educators!!
I love this products. Easy to use and beautifully presented which makes filling them out a pleasure. Delivery is always in a timely manner. Communication with the support team is spot on.
Absolutely love these diaries.. The new addition of the extension box on the page is fantastic. Would love to see some critical reflection prompts added to next years diaries though :)
I did literally stumble upon these Diaries etc. a few years back. Thanks guys even my non familiar NQF staff are able to add to our service, by the simple use of these diaries.
Wouldn't be without the emails I get with so many tips on how to link stuff, how best to record stuff. Keep up the good work.
I love that every think is kept in 1 book so i dont have paperwork everywhere
I absolutely love this book i can keep everything together in 1 spot instead of having books everywhere
Very practical and easy to use. Reasonably priced too.
Really great learning tool for educators new to the industry simplifies and explains importance of outdoor programming and supporting outcomes.
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.
This book is the best and most simple diary to follow to do my reflecting on everything. So pleased to be able to use it.
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.
