Reviews and reports aren't enough to keep the early childhood sector up to scratch.  

The Education Review Office has found almost half of ECE services don't meet the quality threshold, down from 64% a year earlier. 

Advocates for Early Learning Excellence Chair Kelly Seaburg told Mike Hosking although the results are better, it also highlights things to work on.  

She says there needs to be a stronger systemic approach to lifting professional development and leadership. 

Seaburg also says there needs to be more than just reviews to better the sector.  

She says at the end of the day, there's no real teeth to these reports, and we can't leave children's education to chance.
