How to Enrol at child
From first enquiry to first day, we make the process simple and supportive. Here's what to expect.
Enrolment Process — Step by Step
We guide you through every step so that both you and your child feel ready and excited to start.
Enquire
Contact us by phone, email, or through our website form. Let us know your child's name, age, and when you'd like to start. We'll check availability for you.
Visit Us
We'll arrange a personal tour of our centre so you can see our rooms, meet the teachers, and ask any questions. Bring your child along — they'll love exploring!
Complete Enrolment
If you'd like to proceed, we'll provide you with an enrolment pack including the Enrolment Agreement, Fee Policy, Fee Schedule, and all the details you need.
Transition Visits
Before your child's official start date, we arrange settling-in visits so they can spend time in their new room, meet their teachers, and feel comfortable.
First Day!
Your child begins their journey at child! Teachers will keep you updated throughout the day. We'll have everything ready — you just pack a change of clothes and a smile.
Our Settling-In Programme
We know that starting at a new childcare centre can be a big transition — for both children and parents. That's why we take settling-in seriously.
How it works:
- Introductory visits Transition visits to the room before the official start date
- Primary caregiver Babies are assigned a dedicated primary caregiver from day one
- Parent communication We keep you updated throughout this time.
- No rush Every child is different — we follow your child's lead and never rush the process
Many parents are surprised how quickly their children settle at child. Our warm, welcoming environment and experienced teachers make the transition feel natural.
Waitlist Information
Depending on the room and time of year, we may have a waitlist. We recommend getting in touch as early as possible — many parents enquire during pregnancy to secure a spot.
Good to know:
- Priority Siblings of current children receive priority placement
- Flexibility If your preferred start date isn't available, we'll work with you to find the next best option
- Early enquiry The sooner you contact us, the more likely we can accommodate your preferred dates
What to Bring on Day One
We provide almost everything. Here's the short list of what you need to pack.
- Spare change of clothes (labelled with your child's name)
- A jacket or cardigan
- Sun hat (warm months) or warm hat (cool months)
- Bottles and formula (babies only — cow's milk provided for all)
