Once you’ve decided Buttercups is the right fit, let us know, and we’ll guide you through enrolment. If vacancies are available, the Centre Manager will assist with paperwork and provide details on fees, subsidies, and your child’s learning journey.
Not ready to start childcare? Join our waitlist, and we’ll add your child’s name for future availability. If your preferred Buttercups centre is full in your child’s age group, our team will keep you updated and contact you as soon as a spot opens up.
Once your enrolment form is submitted via Xplor, the Centre Manager will guide you through the next steps. We’ll arrange ‘stay and play’ sessions to help your child settle in. For more details, visit our How to Prepare for Childcare page.
After the ‘stay and play’ sessions, we’ll support your child’s transition, helping them settle into their routine and build relationships. The Centre Manager is here to assist you and if you have questions or need help, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We provide high-quality early learning experiences and care for children from six weeks of age through to school age.
To ensure the best chances of securing a spot, we would advise you to begin your search as early as possible. Some of our childcare centres may have waiting lists, so it’s a good idea to express your interest even if you’re not sure when you’d like to start care. If you’re pregnant, feel free to use your due date as your expected start date.
There’s no minimum booking requirement – whether you need just one day a week or full-time care, we’re here to accommodate your family’s needs!
All children attending childcare services in Australia need to be vaccinated as per the Australian Government’s policy. As part of the enrolment paperwork, we require a copy of your child’s current immunisation history or vaccination certificate.
We understand starting care can be daunting for both you and your child. We’re here to support this transition by helping your child build bonds with educators and friendships with other children. An orientation, spending time in the room, and consistent routines, like arrival times and goodbyes can help them feel secure. Gradually increasing their time at the centre can also ease the process. We know this transition can be emotional, so we encourage you to call, email, or check in anytime.
Yes, children can be dropped and collected at any time between our opening hours. Please note – depending on your session time additional charges may apply if you drop off outside of the booked session.
You can easily pay your fees through direct debit via bank account or credit card using Debit Success. Simply set up scheduled payments or make real-time payments through the app. Please complete the setup before your child’s first day. All payments and statements are accessible via Xplor for your convenience.
