Wyndham City Council has completed the establishment of its new Early Years Provider (EYP) Panel, strengthening the delivery of high-quality kindergarten services across the municipality.
Following a competitive Request for Access (RFA) process undertaken in December 2025, Council received strong submissions from a range of experienced early years providers.
Interviews were conducted in early January using Council’s merit-based and equitable assessment approach to ensure the best outcomes for Wyndham families. As a result, six early years providers have been appointed to the new Panel.
Council is pleased to continue its partnerships with ECMS, One Tree Children’s Services, KU, and Bestchance, and welcomes two new organisations to Wyndham’s early years sector: Y Ballarat and BPA Children’s Services.
The appointed providers will lead the implementation and ongoing delivery of kindergarten programs across Wyndham. Each organisation brings significant sector expertise and a strong commitment to meeting the needs of Wyndham’s growing and diverse community.
The new Panel Deed will be in place until December 2028, providing stability and continuity for families, kindergartens and the broader early years system, while supporting innovation and community-centred service delivery.
Wyndham City Council looks forward to working closely with all six providers to support the municipality’s rapidly growing population and ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
