Customer testimonials

Directors and supervisors across Australia use The Desktop to simplify compliance, policies, and everyday operations. Here’s what they say about the difference it’s made in their services.

"I love the upgraded platform — great new look and functionality. Good job, guys!"

Salvos Early Learning

"A very big thank you for this wonderful program. Feedback from our A&R using this program was so positive. As an OSHC service it is very hard to receive Exceeding, and I truly believe this program helped us reach this rating."

Diocese of Rockhampton OSHC

"The platform has provided us with an extensive breakdown of the NQS. All our Educators are able to contribute to the documentation in their own time and from wherever they are. Such a valuable tool."

Grange Public School OSHC

"I love how easy the program is to use, the layout and the way each section has been broken down in steps. It makes the whole process less daunting than being faced with a report style."

Indigo Early Learning Centre

"Basically, we would not have achieved the 'Exceeding' rating at all without the assistance of the platform. The Assessor told us that many services have been operating for over 10 years and still have not achieved this result. A big thank you!"

Crestwood Childcare Centre

"The platform has made a significant difference to our service and how we update our QIP. We have found it easy to use and it saved us time, plus helped us confidently work through the A&R process."

Mulgoa Preschool

The newsletters are so well written, not tacky at all — the information is so relevant and well presented. I LOVE THEM!
