Why we are the best

I have found the staff, centre managers and regional managers all work in a highly professional, open and honest manner. Helping Hands contributes significant amounts of untied funding to Norville State School each year.

Norville State School

Helping Hands is a great fit for the culture of our school, passionately delivering on their commitment to work closely with the school to deliver positive outcomes for our school community. Nearly 30% of our school community attends the OSHC service daily.

Bourke Street Public School

The service is independent from the school, but provides a good partnership that enhances marketability of the school, and provides its own share of positive shopping centre conversations in the community

Burpengary State School

I am always confident that the staff of the service operate with the best interests of the children and their families in mind. While the service deals with issues independently, it keeps channels of communication open and works within the policies of the school.

Lane Cove West Public School

I think the work the team does is amazing, you look after children at the grotty ends of the day, you feed them, let them off load their energy after being cooped up all day and offer them some brilliant options. The flexibility of the service and the can do support of all the carers is amazing. I think Orange Grove are very lucky to have Helping Hands as it is an asset to the school. I also note that Helping Hands members are involved in school activities and use the service to enhance the schools values and activities of the moment.

Orange Grove Primary School

The programs delivered for our students during before, after and vacation care sessions are of a high standard and quality, supported by well trained staff and resources. The programs are constantly evolving based on the interested of the children in care. I regularly visit the service and enjoy seeing children engaged, laughing, having fun and learning through play based activities.

Oxenford State School

It is a really nurturing and warm environment, the children are always happy and engaged in some type of experience. They have the option to play inside or outside – there is always something on offer – things that they want to do. If the children come in with an idea it is used The staff negotiate with the children, and the children are always happy

Talara Primary School

I felt really guilty when I realised my children would have to go to After school care, but when I first came along I had a meeting with the Coordinator, she put my mind at ease. The environment that HH creates at the school is fantastic, the carers are so passionate about the children, I feel very secure that I am secure in leaving my children here. There is no more guilt
