You will be charged for all booked care unless it is cancelled by 6.15 PM Friday of the week prior (Th if F Pub Hol), regardless of the reason why care was not used.
To help your child/ren (& us) to enjoy being at Kids’ Zone, please ensure you are aware of the following:
Escort your child/ren into Kids’ Zone, sign them in & also let a staff member know they are here.
LUNCH – You must provide your child with something substantial to eat for recess and lunch every day (unless specified). Please don’t send meals that require cooking or heating as we
find it is impractical for staff to spend around 5 minutes per child at lunch times when we have up to
100 children attending. We encourage the children to eat all of their recess and lunch and ask that they put any leftovers back in their lunch box, so parents /carers can monitor.
We provide breakfast daily from 7.15 AM - 8.15 AM & afternoon tea from approx 3.45 PM – 4.15 PM.
Check programmed activities for any special requirements (eg. clothing or BYO ???).
Helmets are required on wheels day / sharing of equipment is not allowed.
Lunch is provided by Kids’ Zone on special days (see programme)– parents still need to provide recess.
Ensure suitable clothing, hats, sunscreen, footwear, etc.
Spending money is not permitted on excursions – packed recess & lunch only.
Ensure at least 1 litre of water is provided.
Arrive at least 15 mins before departure time on programme.
Children cannot stay at Kids’ Zone, nor can they join the excursion once we have left, unless a prior
arrangement has been authorised. Thank you.

Opening Times: 7.00am to 6.15pm Monday to Friday (Closed Public Holidays)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS INFORMATION IS UPDATED REGULARLY. If you are using our service for the first time,
or have not recently read the ‘KIDS’ ZONE - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW’ information package, please ensure you obtain a
copy (updated June 2015). In addition, please check the details we have on your enrolment form for your child/ren, to
ensure they are correct. If you have not completed a PINK enrolment form, or updated your details recently, please
complete one or check your current details PRIOR to the commencement of Vacation Care.
Please be aware that you will be charged for ALL booked care unless it is cancelled by 6.15pm Friday of the week
prior (Thursday if Friday is a public holiday), even if you do not use the care and regardless of the reason why care
was cancelled. Please refer to our “Kids’ Zone - All You Need To Know” handbook for more information. For excursion times,
please refer to the programme attached & ensure your child/ren are here at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled
departure times. As you would appreciate, we need this time to confirm the number of children we are taking and to organise
the final arrangements regarding staffing and transport, to ensure the safety of your child/ren. If your child/ren is not
here by the time we leave, no one will be available to care for your child/ren at Kids’ Zone, so they cannot stay, nor can they
join the excursion once we have left, unless a prior arrangement has been authorised.
Fees per child
Home Day $44.00 Excursion Day $50.00
Late Booking Fee $ 5.00 per child NO Booking Fee $10.00 per child
Late Pick-Up Fee $15.00 per family (after 6.15pm per every 15 minutes or part thereof)
These charges are necessary to ensure continuous quality care and to meet Licensing and Standards staff to child ratios.
Child Care Benefit & Child Care Rebate – Please refer to ‘KIDS’ ZONE - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW’.
***Bookings ***and Payment Conditions
The last day of term is Friday 25th September 2015. Parents are encouraged to book early for Vacation Care, as the
programme is very popular. Our vacation care booking deadline is two weeks before the term end, which is the 11th
September 2015 for this Vacation Care period. Shift Workers who do not receive their shift rosters in time or casual
workers need to talk to the Director/Assistant Director before the booking deadline to make an individual arrangement for
bookings. If a child arrives without being booked in, a penalty fee of $10.00 applies. Please do not assume that we
will be able to provide care for your child/ren, as we may be limited by venue bookings, staffing and transport or
CCB/licensed places. Vacation Care Bookings WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A DEPOSIT. Bookings will be
allocated to other children if a deposit is not paid. Bookings cannot be accepted for accounts with overdue monies
owing on either OSHC/Vacation Care. Vacation Care accounts will be issued every Tuesday in arrears. Accounts are
to be paid weekly.
Arrival and Departure
Parents and carers must ensure that children are signed in and out each day of attendance. To ensure the safety of your
child, please notify an educator of their arrival and departure (please refer to our policy regarding the dropping off and
collection of children).
O:\Vacation Care\Information Sheets\2015\Sept Oct 2015\Sept Oct 2015 Information sheet.doc 28/08/15
Food and Drink
Children should be provided with RECESS and LUNCH every day (or lunch order on home days). We do provide an
afternoon snack at approximately 3.45 pm, however on occasions this may not be until 4.15 pm. Please provide your
child/ren with recess and a packed lunch on excursion days. Please also ensure they have at least a litre of drink on
excursion days. To minimise the risk of bacterial infection, we suggest that an ice pack is put in their lunch box. Spending
money will not be permitted on any day. In fairness to all children attending we cannot allow ANY child to buy food /
drink whilst on excursions so please provide them with a packed lunch & recess. We hope you understand the
difficulties in monitoring this and the issues that arise with children’s varied socio-economic backgrounds. Lunch can be
ordered from the local deli on non-excursion days (please refer to the attached menu). Please complete a lunch order form
(provided near the signing in/out book) & give (with payment) to a Kids’ Zone educator. Change will be given to your child/ren
with their order unless you specify otherwise. We will be cooking a lunch of homemade chicken nuggets, spinach and
cheese triangles, tasty potatoes and salad on Wednesday 30th September. We will be providing a Pizza Hut pizza
lunch (including lemonade/squash) on Friday 9th October 2015. Please let an educator know if your child will be bringing
their own lunch instead on this day.
Suitable clothing
We would really like your child to get the most out of each day, so please ensure your child is appropriately dressed, as some
of our programmed activities can be messy. We do provide paint shirts where required, however it is not unusual for
children to get dirty. Please send your child wearing safe, comfortable shoes (no thongs or heels please).
Sun Safe Policy – “SLIP, SLOP, SLAP, SEEK & SLIDE!”
ALL children are required to wear a hat outdoors between September & April when the UV is 3 or above so please
provide one, otherwise he/she may miss out on certain activities. Approved hats are legionnaires, broad brimmed or a
bucket hat (no caps please). Hats can be kept in children’s bags or placed in one of our labelled, plastic, zip-lock bags stored
at Kids’ Zone. Although we apply sunscreen during the day, we would appreciate a thorough application on your child before
arrival at Kids’ Zone each morning. If your child has a sunscreen allergy, please discuss sun safe strategies with us or
provide an appropriate sunscreen for them to use. We also encourage you to send your child wearing a T-shirt, rather than
singlets or tank tops. Please see the programme for any other specific clothing requirements for excursions or activities.
Excursion Days/Special Activities
If we are offering a choice of two excursions on the same day, please ensure that your child(ren) discuss it with you and
their friendship group, when choosing which one they will be attending. Due to staff to child ratios and venue bookings, we
are unable to allow them to swap. Some excursions / activities may need to be cancelled due to the heat or wet weather. If
this happens, a decision will be made by 6.15pm the previous day (when possible). Risk Assessments have been conducted for
all venues – information available on request.
Excursion Days Transportation
On all excursions, the children will be transported in a private bus by a qualified driver. The staff will travel on the bus with
the children. Risk Assessments have been conducted for transportation to venues - information available on request.
Wheels Day
Please observe that there is one day these holidays where children will be able to bring bikes, skateboards, scooters and
roller blades. A helmet is the minimum safety equipment required, however knee/wrist/elbow pads etc. are strongly
encouraged. Children are not permitted to use other children’s equipment (unless same family).
Water Restrictions
Permanent water conservation measures are now in force in South Australia. The permanent measures reflect an ongoing
commitment by the State Government to water conservation and to sustainable management of our precious water
resources. We have therefore limited our inclusion of water play activities accordingly.
Kids’ Zone Contact Numbers
We can be contacted on the following numbers 8365 5677, M1: 0431551009 or M2: 0403357024. If staff are unable to
