Childcare availability in Mascot is as important as quality. Even an Exceeding-rated service is of no use if there is a 12-to-18-month waitlist. For families planning to buy in Mascot and who need childcare within a specific timeframe, contact your preferred centres directly to check wait times. NQS ratings are publicly available, but waitlist positions are managed by each centre individually.
