Client testimonials
I’ve just completed the critical reflection for OSHC webinar and I absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed how Stella made it so easy to understand critical reflection and that it really isn’t so hard. I also liked how it underpinned the framework and how clear the links were.
Thank you Stella for offering such a great webinar for OSHC!!

10 out of 10 from me!
Sue DeMarco
My husband and I own at OSHC service and have been operating for 4 years. Stella has been guiding us since the moment she opened her doors, and I find comfort in the fact that I can ask her for advice, training and resources in any area of childcare.
We gained ‘Exceeding’ during Assessment & Rating and I thank Stella for the incredible input that she gave us in preparation for this.
I couldn’t be happier with the service that Stella provides, she’s there for me, my centre and my educators 100% of the time.
