Payment of a bond (two weeks at full fee for the number of day/s your child/children attend/s) will secure your position for your agreed start date.

Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday 6:30am-6:00pm and your child can attend any time during our opening hours.

Our fee is charged for the whole day regardless of how many hours per day your child attends.
