Occasional Care

We are here when you need us to care for your child.

Our Rainbow Room is designed for babies, and the Catepillar room for Toddlers.  An enrolment procedure is required. Please fill in our pre-enrolment form and / or pop in the office* to discuss your childcare needs with our friendly and helpful team. You can book one week in advance. Some permanent places are available.

Our educators will care and encourage learning through role play, story time, building relationships and acknowledging children's interpendence with others. Our whole team is here to support and help develop interests for each individual child, as well as to help construct opportunities for each child's own identity and the understanding of their early world.

ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES
For security reasons the front door remains locked even during our Centre opening hours. New compulsory sign-in, sign-out procedures are now in place and swipe tags are made available for families. Each child must be signed in upon arrival and signed out on departure. Please ensure you keep your emergency contact number up to date. Only people nominated on your child’s enrolment form can pick up your child. You will need to formally contact the office to arrange an additional pickup. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to be authorised collection people. Please direct your child to their teacher and ensure you say goodbye when leaving.

RESTING
Rest time is a quiet period of the day that is essential within our service. Toddlers and babies will rest for at least 45 minutes of their day. It helps recharge and restimulate small bodies. Children learn to transform and reflect in a relaxing atmosphere.

Whilst we provide sheets required, you may whish to send two cot sheets or similar with your baby, as familiar smells may help in relaxing.
