generally the not for profit child care providers are less risk. they are usually staffed in excess of regulatory requirements with robust processes. think of it like this like a McDonald's rather than a dodgy lunch bar.

the big players have generally ironed out the problems although lack of quality staff is always an issue in the industry. the family owned and family day care operations are more likely to understaff and non- report. and the number of sexual abuse disclosed by children in fdc or small services are strongly over represented.

Goodstart is the or one of the biggest players and well run. g8 also is generally well run, as is ymca's services.

kids and busses and complacency of staff will end up leading to more unfortunate deaths.

I do not think that there will be a flood to g8 services. just consistent slow growth. g8 are not amazing child care centres- they are the dominoes pizza. reliable, safe, regulated, trimming quality to increase profit.
