Training available for all resources

The First Nations Art Series Bundle – Family Day Care Compliance Checklist Diary brings together a practical and thoughtfully aligned set of resources designed to support compliance oversight, reflective practice, and everyday organisation within Family Day Care services. Centred around the Family Day Care Compliance Checklist Diary, this bundle supports coordinators and educators to maintain clear, consistent records while meeting regulatory requirements in Early Childhood Education and Care.

The Family Day Care Compliance Checklist Diary Guide supports confident use of the Diary as a compliance tracking and reference tool, helping educators and coordinators clearly record required checks, actions, and evidence over time. To further support everyday practice, educators can also explore the article 50 Ways to Use a Notebook as an Early Childhood Educator, which provides practical ideas for using the included notebook to capture reflective notes, follow-up actions, communication with coordinators, children’s voices, and planning reminders that support continuity of practice.

Your service is also supported through free Butler Method training, which introduces a shared approach to documentation, reflection, and planning across Family Day Care contexts. This training demonstrates how Butler Diaries tools can be used consistently to support reflective conversations, informed decision-making, and clear evidence of practice, helping educators and coordinators confidently demonstrate the Cycle of Planning in everyday work.

For services seeking deeper alignment and consistency, learning can be extended through the Cycle of Planning Professional Development Training, which explores reflection, documentation, and planning in greater depth using real-world Family Day Care examples and guided walkthroughs that support consistent understanding across educators and coordination teams.

Together, the resources and training within this bundle provide structured, service-focused support to strengthen compliance systems, embed reflective practice, and keep documentation organised and audit-ready — without adding to workload — while honouring First Nations perspectives through meaningful artwork across everyday tools. You can view our full list of training available here or email our team for direction on what training would be most suited to you and your team.

FAQ

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions

The Family Day Care Compliance Diary covers your compliance records and a simple record of your activities. For a complete program and reflection that shows the cycle of planning for A&R, use the Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary with this Diary or use the FDC Combined Compliance Checklist and Programming and Reflection Diary that includes the daily compliance pages and monthly programming.

We collected your feedback and have now included a monthly visitor log and weekly menu. We’ve also reduced the size of the Diary BUT included a more simplified day layout that covers more areas of management, such as children away and notes. We’ve also improved the day page layout for quicker recording!

"Each diary that we use is laid out in such a way that ALL compliance and record keeping is there - it simply needs to be filled out - each individual diary ticks all the compliance boxes - all the educators have to do is fill them out - it is really simple and easy to understand - This ensures everything is easy to find and on show for spot checks etc. Also no need to go back and fill in missing gaps as everything is there."

Common feedback that we hear is that our Diaries keep everything is one place. With the pressure of Assessment and Rating and so much paperwork, it can make staying organised difficult. We reduce compliance confusion and support you in keeping everything together - particularly handy now with reduced time notices before A&R now in effect.

These resources are great places to get your questions answered. You can also always get in touch if you can’t find your answer below.
