Arrival And Departure Policy
Children need to be dropped and collected at Family Day Care only by those listed on the Parent Agreement Form that is completed during the registration process.
- Scheduled drop off and pick up times are firm, if you are running late, contact MUST be made with me or other arrangements may need to be sought due to other scheduled start times possibly being affected. Note: Late pick-up fees apply.
- If you wish another person to pick up other than those allocated, this needs to be arranged well in advance and the person collecting must be over the age of 16 years, have photo ID and must also be known to the child.
- Please provide details of any court orders that are in place- a copy needs to be supplied for my records and a copy will need to be supplied to the Family Day Care Business Centre ( I can arrange for this).
Absences And Holidays
Each child is allowed 42 absences each financial year.
If you plan to cancel contracted care you must give at least 2 weeks notice, otherwise you may be obligated to pay the full fee (2 week fee) as there are CCB restrictions relating to absences that occur in the last two weeks of care.
