Your Expert Partner in Quality, Compliance, Leadership & Culture
Running a high-quality early childhood service is a daily juggle — compliance, environments, supervision, safety, team culture, leadership, and the never-ending “to-do” list.
This free HGT Quality Partnership Service Priority Checklist helps you cut through the overwhelm and finally see what needs to be addressed now, what can be tackled soon, and what should be monitored ongoing.
 
Designed using our Service Walk Through™ framework, this checklist gives you a clear, traffic-light style snapshot of your centre so you can support your team with clarity, direction, and confidence.
 
What’s Inside the Checklist
Our easy-to-use traffic-light priority system:
🔴 Immediate Actions (1–2 Weeks)
🟠 Soon (2–4 Weeks)
🟢 Ongoing (4–6 Weeks)
This high-impact checklist includes real examples we identify during HGT Quality Partnership visits, such as:
Ensuring active supervision in all play areas
Reviewing and updating your nappy change procedure (aligned with Staying Healthy 6th Ed.)
Re-labelling and safely storing chemicals
 
The checklist is editable for your site (with some inspiration from us), to ensure it's tailored to your current compliance needs.
