So, you'd love my centre....
- We don't send out information packs at all. You want one, come and get one. I have a 300 place waiting list. If you want the spot so bad, work for it!
- When there's a spot available, you get 72 hours to take it. We call 10 people off the waiting list at a time, and the first one who wants it gets it.

Yeah, it sucks, but we're in such demand that we just don't have time to care. A lot of our time is taken up by people ringing up and saying "I wonder if you have a place for my 11 month old for next week?" (AS IF!) and then getting on the waiting list and thinking they can change their place on it by repeatedly phoning and badgering us about it (does not work)
But the vast majority of our time is taking caring for and supporting the families who already use the service. And keeping up with miles and miles of rules and regulations - if you don't like them, talk directly to the Govt, not us. They're more likely to listen to families - there's more of you that vote.
