On enquiry at the centre, you will be given information outlining the fees structure and the method of payment. It is a policy of the centre to have all fees paid weekly or fortnightly. For your convenience, we use debit success which deducts your fees automatically from either your bank account or credit card.

We require two weeks advance notice of any cancellation/change to your booking to enable us to fill the place in good time. Fees may be charged in lieu of notice.

When children are sick they need more attention, as well as quiet, warmth and rest. It is impossible to give a child who is placed in a group situation this type of care, as it requires educators to lessen their involvement with the remainder of the group.

THEREFORE, WE REQUEST THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE SICK NOT BE BROUGHT INTO THE CENTRE.

It is our policy that fees are payable for the days that your child is booked into the centre. If a public holiday falls on one of the days your child is booked in or your child is sick, fees are still payable. If a spot is vacant within the same week, it may be possible to swap the days of care.

Yes, it is a government requisite that you provide your child’s immunisation history statement, without which we cannot accept your child.
You may access your child’s immunisation history statement either by:

1. Going to your MyGov account, to Medicare and printing the statement; or
2. Calling the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809, who will then post the statement to you.

Lakeview Kindergarten & Childcare employs educators who are approved by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

Before commencement, each potential employee must provide a current Working with Children’s check if over 18 years.

Our educators are encouraged to participate in professional development in order to broaden and upgrade their skills. The centre maintains correct educator ratios as defined by the National Quality Framework 2011.

During all hours of operation, there is at least one educator with a First Aid, Anaphylaxis, Asthma and C.P.R. Certificate.

A responsible adult known to the nominated supervisor and/or the educators must bring children into the centre.

Only authorised persons (as indicated on the enrolment form) will be allowed to collect children from the centre.

We operate an open-door policy, where parents and family are welcome into the centre at any time. Parent participation sends strong, positive messages to your child that you support them and are part of the child care environment.

Before enrolling your child at our centre, it is important to discuss with us any additional needs your child might have and how we can meet them. Planning for children with additional needs requires careful thought and often the assistance of specialists.

It is important to know how the specific needs may or may not affect the child’s learning and activities. This information will help us to meet the needs of the child and seek assistance from specialists and support workers.
