Important Information regarding Fees
We charge based on bookings; this gives you the flexibility of managing your own bookings online.
Our current fee schedule is:
Before School care (incl breakfast)
- 7:00 am to 8:30 am: $17.00
- 7:45 am to 8:30 am: $10.00
After School care (incl afternoon tea)
- Early Pickup 2:45 pm to 3:30 pm: $7.50
- 2:45 pm to 4:30 pm: $17.50
- 2:45 pm to 6:00 pm: $22.50
All fees need to be paid a week in advance. Fees are payable for days booked, irrespective of attendance.
Please note that you are charged based on the booking, and you have up to 8pm the night before to change your online booking.
Any cancellations made after this time will incur the full charge of the booked session. If you need to book or cancel your child’s booking on the day, then please text us on 0277831826. There is an additional charge of $1 for on the day bookings. We will no longer be doing bookings for future dates by text or phone call. We encourage you to do this online.
Please note that as we offer a tiered system for fees,
You must make sure to pick up your child between the times you selected. We allow a 5-minute grace period, after which you will be charged for the following tier.
Example: If you pick up your child at 4.36 pm then you will be charged $22.50 instead of $17.50
Late fees for pick-ups
after 6.00pm are as follows:
- 6:00 pm to 6:15 pm is $13
- 6:15 pm to 6:30 pm is $26
- After 6:30 pm is $50.
We will also be implementing a $5 charge for booking and then cancelling (by text/phone call/email) on the same day.
As you can understand, rearranging our daily program takes time and we need to pay for administrative work.
Additionally, in order to cover costs we are now implementing a Public Holiday Charge. In line with normal business and commercial practices, statutory holidays which fall on normal school days, are treated as such, with appropriate fees applied. If your child attends a session that would normally fall on that day, they are charged the applicable rate.
A big part of our income is from parent fees so in order for us to be able to pay our staff and to continue providing this service, we need fees to be paid on time. We send out statements fortnightly. A big thank you to all our parents who pay as soon as they receive the statements. If the amount you owe has become quite substantial and you need to make a payment arrangement, please do contact us.
OSCAR Subsidy
Work and Income’s Out of School Care and Recreation (OSCAR) subsidy is a payment that helps you with the cost of before and after-school care as well as the cost of school holiday programs.
If you’re eligible, you can claim up to 20 hours per week for before and after-school care and up to 50 hours per week for school holiday programs. We’ll work with you and Work and Income to make sure that the process of applying for and receiving an OSCAR subsidy is made easier.
This means more people will be able to get these payments. If you think you may be eligible then please contact us.
Below are the new income thresholds from 1 April 2025.
Upon signing your child up to our services you agree to the contents of this policy.
