Mock visits use the assessor’s method
  1. 1

    Observe

    Everyday routines on the floor.

  2. 2

    Discuss

    How things really run, with your leaders and educators.

  3. 3

    Sight

    Your policies, records and the evidence behind your practice.

It’s a practice run, not a rating, and you leave with a clear list of what to fix first. How a mock visit works

How services usually prepare

The usual options leave a gap.

Webinars and checklists

Useful, but generic. They can’t see your documents or how your team really works.

A consultant’s report

You get a list. Your team still has to change what it does on the floor.

Waiting for the visit

You find the gaps when the assessor does, with no time left to fix them.

What you actually want

A team that can show and explain its practice, evidence you can find, and no surprises.

What we do

Three ways we close the gap.

Training and PD for teams

Give your team skills they use on shift

Psychosocial safety

Identify workload, fatigue and conflict risks, then put practical controls in place.

Active supervision

Give every educator the same clear method for zones, headcounts, handovers and high-risk routines.

Child safety workshops

Refresh your team on child paramountcy, protected disclosures and what to do when a concern comes up.

From Meeting to Exceeding

Build the three Exceeding themes into every room, and work out where to focus first.

Professional development for your team, on site or online.

Mock compliance visit

Find the gaps before an assessor does

We review your policies and practice the way an assessor does: observe, discuss, sight.

Why Yaga Smart

We bridge the gap between early education and compliance.

Founded by an Early Childhood Teacher, we’ve opened centres at dawn, juggled ratios, answered worried parents and survived those nerve-wracking Assessment & Rating visits.

  • We work on site and online, so regional and remote centres get the same quality advice
  • We don’t shame directors for gaps or past mistakes
  • What you tell us stays confidential, unless the law requires us to share it
