How long is your waiting list?

We do have a substanial waiting list, but it is difficult to say how long it will take for a position to become available as this is determined on how old your child is, what days you are looking for and when you require the care. That means that even if you need care immediately, it is well worth giving us a call as we may be able to accommodate your needs. When joining our waiting list, if you can be at all flexible in the days of care you need, we are more likely to be able to find you a position.

We currently have limited vacancies for positions to start in 2009 on Mondays and Fridays.

What is included in the daily fees?

Our daily fees include 4 meals (morning tea, hot lunch, afternoon tea and late snack), nappies for babies, sunscreen and a stimulating educational program.

Parents need to provide sheets for children who sleep, bottles need to come in filled while the child is taking bottles, a hat (which can be purchased from the centre) and change of clothes.

What age do you take children from, and how are the children grouped?

We take babies from 6 weeks of age through to 6 years. Our centre is divided into three rooms:

6 weeks to 3 years	Ocean Room.
2 years to 3 years	Rainforest Room.
3 years to 6 years	Bush Room / Preschool.

To keep overall group sizes to a minimum, the Room are further divided into small groups

Ocean Room	3 groups of no more than 10 in each group
Rainforest Room	2 groups of approximately 12 in each group
Bush Room	3 groups, 2 with no more than 20 children and 1 with no more than 10
