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.

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.

Best Reflection Diary Ever!

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.

Rachel Patchett
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.
