Little Feet Childcare Centre believe it is important for our children’s learning to have experiences outside the centre as well where they will learn about their wider local community.
The purpose of any excursion is for educational purposes and should be part of the educational programme. It is therefore essential that these excursions are planned for and carried out in a manner that promotes safety for any teachers and children involved.
- Upon completion of the Enrolment Agreement Form and a confirmation of your child’s place in the centre, you are required to pay one week’s BOND and one week’s FEE in advance.

- Bond is a security which we hold on your behalf and is refunded in full to you once your child leaves the centre provided all your fees are up to date.
