I have had my two children in ABC centres and have found them to be excellent places both from an educational perspective and from a loving environment. The staff there are all trained, the curriculum is excellent and the food they are given is healthy and nutritous. Added to that my kids love it.
What else do you want from a childcare place?
I have also experienced community based centres and the ones I have seen do not come close although appreciate there are plenty that do.
The thing is that the price you pay for ABC is very high but that is due to the shortage of total centres as much as anything.
I just beleive that if ABC was not around the childcare industry would be a complete disaster.
Just my opinion.
