Enrolments
Enrolments must be fully completed prior to care. We strongly encourage all families to enroll their child/children so in case of an emergency, hospital, or doctor appointment you have the options of utilising the service.
To start the enrolment process, either email our staff who will send you the link or visit our website and click on the Enrol button on the Enrolments page.
Bookings (Before and After Care)
Bookings are essential as it allows us to cater and to staff the program to the correct levels as required under the current Regulations. Parents can book in for Term Bookings (full-time/part-time), casual care and emergency care.
Bookings (Vacation Care)
Bookings are essential as it allows us to cater and to staff the program to the correct levels as required under the current Regulations. Parents can book in via the Xplor app. Bookings need to be made before the Vacation Care starts.
Parent’s Responsibility
It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the service (through our Xplor Home app) when children are going to be absent. If a child fails to show for a booked After School Care session, staff will try and locate them in the school and school grounds. If they are not found the parents will be called and notified of this. If the child’s whereabouts is still not known, processes will be put in place to report the missing child to the Department of Education and Training.
Allowable Absences
Once a child has been booked into a session, that session must be paid for regardless of if the child attends or is absent. The Commonwealth will allow up to 42 absence days without supporting documentation. Your CCS will still be paid for by the Commonwealth for those 42 absences.
If you provide a doctor’s certificate for a child being absent, you still have to pay for your session, but your CCS will be paid for, and it will not be deducted from the 42 absence days allowed. Educators will add the certificate to your child’s profile.
Cancellations
Term bookings cannot be cancelled.
48 hrs. notice must be given to cancel any casual sessions.
Xplor Home app
We use Xplor for our Childcare Management software. Parents will need to download the Xplor Home app after their Enrolment has been completed. The app allows bookings to be made, notifying staff of absences, downloading statements, viewing observations, registering Hub guests and signing in and out children of booked sessions.
