WELCOME TO
DIAGONAL ROAD
CHILD CARE CENTRE

We care about providing the best start for your child. Children thrive in our large, natural outdoor play spaces with the support of knowledgeable, experienced and passionate Early Childhood Educators.

It’s why generations of families keep coming back.

OUR CENTRE

The Centre offers care to children aged 6 months to 5 years for 50 weeks of the year to a capacity of 44 children each day.

The Centre is a not for profit organisation and is an incorporated body. We aim to operate on a break-even basis and include in the fees sufficient funds to pay staff, maintain the building and grounds, and provisions for long service leave for our long term staff. Any surplus funds are invested back into the Centre which directly benefits  your children.

Our Educators are experienced in supporting children and their families when settling into care by arranging orientation visits to suit the individual child’s needs.

OUTDOOR SPACES

Physical activity in our natural outdoor environment promotes a strong sense of well-being, exploration and play-based learning.

FEE STRUCTURE

The billing period is weekly, Monday-Friday in arrears. All booked days will be charged.  Attendance of any extra days (other than those booked as permanent days) will be charged as extra, regardless of whether the normal days have been used.  Reductions are not available for illness.

The Centre is closed for 2 weeks during the Christmas and New Year period, fees are not charged during this time.  The Centre is closed on Public Holidays; however, fees are still charged at the normal rate as the fees are not loaded to cover permanent staff wages on these days.

Holiday days are charged at the normal rate.  For extended leave exceeding two consecutive weeks the remainder of the leave will be charged at a 50% retainer fee for each full week not exceeding the total of six weeks.  This will ensure your child’s booking is held for your return.  Four weeks’ notice of extended leave is required for a retainer fee to apply.
