Casual bookings can be made via the website until 12 noon the day before you require care.After this time, you will need to phone the Centre, and your booking will be subject to availability given staffing etc. |

Alternating Bookings
An alternating booking means that your child requires care each week, but the days may vary from week to week, due to work circumstances etc. This may also include families that require split care.
If you require an alternating permanent booking, please advise the Centre Director so they can enable access via the Booking Calendar, under the Parent Menu on the Portal.
