Both our Possums Room and Pre-Kindy program run 8.30am to 3.30pm Monday – Friday.

Bookings for our Possums Room (daily child care) are a permanent year round booking, with a 2 week break over Christmas when the service closes.

Pre-Kindy runs during Term Time, with the option to book places in the Kindy Room during School Holidays.

From 2022 the Pre-kindy will be operational year all year round.

As an approved centre you may be able to claim Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for either Possums room or our Pre-Kindy. Most families are entitled to some form of benefit. To find out if you are eligible to apply, please contact Human Services on 132 468 or visit the website www.humanservices.gov.au. Alternatively visit your nearest family assistance office located within the Centrelink service centres.

Once you are registered, please advise the centre of you and your child’s CRN number, once we have made a booking for you centrelink will be informed and you will be asked to approve your booking on your myGov account.

• Nappies for the day
• Clearly labelled healthy lunch
• A piece of fruit to share for fruit time (2 pieces if your child is attending for a full day)

The preferred method of payment is Direct Debit on a weekly basis as it takes less administration time. We do also accept payments in the morning via EFTPOS or cash. Payments are debited from your account on Monday following the week of care. In the event that your direct debit is dishonoured, you will be charged a fee of $19.95 by Debit Success.

Yes. If your child is booked for daycare or to attend our pre-kindy program on a day that is a public holiday, you will still be charged for that day. You are still able to claim CCS for this if you are eligible.

Living in the Perth Hills, we are very aware of being ‘bushfire aware’. That comes hand in hand with our magical bush environment.

If the Bureau of Meteorology states that the fire rating in our area is classed as Extreme and the Fire Behaviour Index is 75 or above or Catastrophic, the centre will be closed for that day. We will contact all parents via email and phone the previous day.

Under advise from the Fire Safety officer of Shire of Mundaring  we have adopted the decision to stay in place in case of an emergency, please contact the service for the full policy. We also have a centre emergency evacuation policy and procedure, both policies are displayed in the service for your information. We practice our evacuation and stay in place drill’s every 3 months with the children.

Our fees:

Possums room $94.00 per day.

3 year old Pre-Kindy $98.00 per day.

As an approved centre, you can claim Child Care Subsidy for both rooms if you are eligible.
