Frequently asked questions

How many childcare centres are in Canberra?
Counts on this page are ACECQA-approved services within the mapped radius of Canberra, ACT — not an unofficial directory scrape. Totals change when the national registers update.
Do you show childcare fees or vacancies?
No. ACECQA national registers do not publish daily fees or live vacancies, so ChildcareScout shows those fields as Not available rather than inventing them. See the fees and waitlists guides for official CCS tools.
What is the ChildcareScout Score?
A transparent ranking using published NQS quality (50%), information completeness (20%) and location/operating status (30%). It is not an ACECQA rating.
