24.01.2022 Good afternoon Families, Thankyou for playing your part in keeping our community safe and dropping your child/ren at the front door the past 4 days To continue taking extra precautions during this time we are opening our foyer to ALL families but ask you do not go into the child/ren's rooms. Instead, drop off & pick up your children either at the front desk with office staff or at the door of the child's room where educators are able to assist.... No parents, siblings or other family members will be able to go into the children's rooms at this stage. We are hoping this is only temporary but are taking every step we can to ensure children's, families' and staff's safety. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us via phone: 8254 8520 or via email: [email protected]

23.01.2022 Good Afternoon Families, With the latest updates from the Government we are implementing more safety measures over the next 6 days and until further instructed. As of tomorrow: Thursday the 19th of November we are requesting ALL parents/families do not enter the service. Instead please ring the door bell and an educator will come out to take your child inside/bring your child out to be collected.... We thankyou for your patience during this time.
