Child Care Start-Up Support
Start your child care service with clarity, structure and a partner who’s done it before.
Launching a new centre is exciting; but the process can quickly become overwhelming, confusing and full of costly guesswork.
With two decades in early childhood and extensive experience guiding new owners through provider approval, centre design, licensing and opening their first centre, Platinum Education Group brings the clarity, confidence and roadmap you need to do it once and do it well.
Whether you’re preparing for your Provider Approval, designing your centre, or getting ready to open your doors — we walk beside you every step of the way.

- A clear step-by-step pathway
- Real-world examples (not theory)
- Deep Regulatory understanding
- Practical templates & systems
- Guidance through every milestone
No overwhelm.
No guesswork.
Just clarity and experienced support.
We've helped over 200 hundred Early Childhood Owners successfully navigate approvals, build compliant service and open with confidence.
Rony - Approved Provider
“I found Platinum Education while searching for experienced, industry-leading support to take my service to the next level. From the very beginning, it felt like more than a one-off engagement — it felt like the start of a genuine, long-term partnership.
Leeza and the team were exceptional. Nothing was ever too small to ask, and every question was met with thoughtful guidance and care. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and confident throughout the provider approval process.
Platinum Education are true industry leaders and strong advocates for best practice. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
Bruno & Bernadette - Approved Provider
"We engaged Platinum Education to support us through our provider approval, and from the start we received far more guidance and clarity than we expected.
Leeza has shown herself to be honest, highly knowledgeable, and deeply invested in achieving the best outcomes for her clients. Throughout the process, she empowered us with the understanding and confidence we needed; never just ticking boxes.
Our experience has been so positive that we know we want to continue working alongside Platinum Education beyond approval. This truly feels like a partnership built for the long term.”
Georgina - Approved Provider
"I found Leeza through Facebook and the Everything Early Childhood podcast while looking for guidance in areas I had little experience with as I took over my first service.
The depth of knowledge, support, and practical guidance I received was far more than I expected. The tools and resources Leeza shared helped me streamline my workload and feel confident stepping into ownership.
Leeza’s support was invaluable during such a big transition. I felt guided, supported, and equipped — not overwhelmed. I’m incredibly grateful for the role Platinum Education played in helping me take this step with confidence.”
