Meet The director

Miss Cloe

As Director of One Step Up Childcare, I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued, cared for, and supported. I believe the early years are a precious time that shapes children’s confidence, wellbeing, and love of learning, and I feel privileged to be part of their journey.

Building strong, respectful relationships with children, families, and educators is central to my role. I strive to lead with kindness, empathy, and collaboration, supporting our team to grow professionally and deliver high-quality, reflective practice.

At the heart of our centre is the belief that secure, nurturing relationships provide the foundation for learning and belonging. Through teamwork and reflection, we work together to implement the EYLF and uphold the NQS in meaningful, child-centred ways to ensure we can give your child the best start in life.


How the CCS works

The CCS is paid directly to approved child care providers, which then pass on the benefit as a fee reduction to families. Families pay the remaining balance, known as the ‘gap fee.’ The amount of CCS a family receives depends on the following factors:

  • Combined family income: The subsidy percentage is determined by the family’s annual adjusted taxable income. For lower-income families, the subsidy can cover up to 90% of child care costs. As income increases, the subsidy percentage decreases on a sliding scale. There is an upper income limit, beyond which families may not receive any subsidy.
  • Activity test: The subsidy amount is also influenced by the parents’ level of activity, including work, study, training, or volunteering. Generally, the more hours parents engage in these activities, the more hours of subsidised child care they can access. There are four activity levels, which correspond to the maximum number of subsidised hours a child can receive: up to 24, 36, 72 or 100 hours per fortnight.
