COVID 19 INFORMATION
We continue to thank you all for your assistance in keeping Hunny Pots ELC and our community a COVID19 safe place.
Please continue to use the hand sanitisers upon arrival of the centre, keeping 1.5m apart where possible and dropping your child off at the entrance of the playroom.
We thank you for your support and positive feedback now and always. Our team are working extremely hard to ensure our children remember the fun learning they had during this time.
We thank you for keeping unwell children at home. Our educators have been doing the same. We understand how difficult this can be, but we truly hope that through out this crazy time we can work in partnership and keep Hunny Pots ELC a safe place.

Photos have been postponed to October. More information will come closer to the dates.
BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND CURRENT IMMUNISATION STATEMENTS.
If you have immunised your child recently e.g.: 1yr immunisation, 18mth chicken pox immunisation, 4yr old immunisation, please provide us with the updated record of this immunisation.
We must have a copy of your child’s up to date immunisation status on the premises.
No immunisation = no enrolment. This is a government regulation.
Also, please provide us with a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
Please check with the office if you are unsure if we have these documents.
WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CHILD/REDUCING DAYS
Parents must give at least three weeks written notice to the Director before withdrawing their child from Hunny Pots. If the child does not attend the centre during this period, fees are still payable (please see the below section: A child who has not yet received care or who has ceased receiving care) If the child is withdrawn without notice, three weeks full fees must be paid regardless.
Parents may reduce their child’s days of attendance by giving three weeks’ notice to the Director.
No notice period accepted in December and January for withdrawing or reducing days.
A child who has not yet received care or who has ceased receiving care
Below is from the Child Care Handbook Australian Government Department of Education and Training:
Child Care Subsidy will not be paid for absences where a provider charges a family to reserve a place for a child who has not yet physically started care.
If a child is booked in to start at a service on a particular date, and does not start on that day, no Child Care Subsidy will be paid until the child physically attends a session of care.
Similarly, a child care service is taken to have permanently ceased providing care for a child on the day the child last physically attends a session of care. This means that Child Care Subsidy will not be paid for absences submitted after a child last physically attends a session of care.
If a family has confirmed their child’s last day at a service, but that child does not attend their last booked sessions of care, no Child Care Subsidy will be paid for any days after the child’s last physical attendance at the service.
If a provider continues to charge fees for sessions on days after a child has left the service because the family did not give the agreed period of notice, Child Care Subsidy will not be payable for these sessions of care. If absences are reported in the above circumstances and Child Care Subsidy is incorrectly paid, these amounts will be recovered from the service.
You must attend the last day of care to receive child care subsidy on your last day.
