Edge Early Learning collapse forces sudden closure of 11 centres across Queensland, SA and ACT

Key points

• Eleven Edge Early Learning childcare centres in Queensland, South Australia and the ACT have been ordered to close within 48 hours. The centres could not be sold after the group entered voluntary administration in August.
• Many families had little notice and are now scrambling to find alternative childcare. Administrators at KordaMentha say families are being contacted in writing and given details of nearby services with spare places.
• Goodstart Early Learning has acquired 31 other centres in the sale process.
