Policies & Procedures

Important information about fees, holidays, and sick days.

Fees, Holidays & Sick Days:

N

Public Holidays

Daisy Lane Early Learning is closed on public holidays. Fees still apply if your regular attendance days fall on a public holiday. The good news? CCS will still apply to public holidays, unless you’ve already used your 42 allowable absence days for the year.

N

Sick Days & Absences

We understand that little ones get sick! Fees are payable for all absences, including sickness, holidays, and cancellation of booked days. Families are entitled to 42 days of allowable absences in each financial year, which can be used for any reason and without the need to produce supporting documentation (including public holidays).

N

Payment Information

Fees are paid by the family weekly in advance and via Direct Debit, either from a bank account or credit card. Payments are direct debit only, which authorises us to arrange for funds to be debited from your account to cover your child’s fees.
