There is no enrolment fee. Upon accepting an enrolment at the centre, families are required to pay two weeks’ fees in advance (as per the number of days enrolled) to secure their position.

Child Care Subsidy may be available for eligible families. Please contact the Department of Human Services for more details and to apply.

It is impossible for us to give you an accurate time frame for how long the waiting period will be. We may be able to give you an estimation based on the number of families before you, but due to the unpredictability of many factors surrounding enrolments, we can’t guarantee anything until you are sent an official Offer of Enrolment. Due to the changing staff to child ratios some age groups are much easier to place, so please contact our office for more information.

We endeavour to give you at least 30 days’ notice before your starting date at the centre. Sometimes we can give you more notice and occasionally we have positions available to be filled immediately. Once you have been offered a position a starting date can be negotiated, and a position can be held for up to 4 weeks.

It is a policy of Margaret Cribb Early Learning that enrolments will only be accepted if the child is fully immunised, on a catch‐up immunisation schedule or if they have a medical contraindication or natural immunity (which is certified by a General Practitioner). On enrolment, parents must provide an immunisation history statement showing that their child’s immunisation status is up to date before the service is able to accept the enrolment.

Nutritional meals can be provided at an additional cost. Families are required to provide nappies.
