We’re excited to welcome your family to Buttercups! Our team is here to guide you through drop-off and ease any child separation anxiety with a smooth, supportive transition. It’s normal for both kids and parents to feel emotional. If your child is feeling anxious, spending a bit more time on the first day can help. Always reassure them you’ll be back soon, which will build trust.
Open communication is key. If goodbyes are tough, we’ll be here with cuddles, comfort, and photo updates to ease your mind, too. Reach out anytime; we are here for you every step of the way. Before you know it, your little one will be running in with a smile!
This quick and easy Child Care Subsidy calculator tool helps you find out what your family might pay for early childhood education and care.
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about childcare enrolment.
We provide high-quality early learning experiences and care for children from six weeks of age through to school age.
To secure a spot, we recommend starting your childcare search early, as some centres have waitlists. Expressing interest in advance can help, even if you’re unsure of your start date. Planning ahead also allows time to prepare for child separation anxiety, ensuring a smooth transition. If you’re pregnant, you can use your due date as the 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 alleviate any child separation anxiety. 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. This can help with child separation anxiety. Please note that 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.
