Hours and Fees  
     
  The centre is open all year from Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm, with the exception of statutory holidays.
 
     
   
     
  Fees are due weekly in advance. For your convenience, method of payment can be EFTPOS, Credit Card (Mastercard and Visa), Automatic payment, Cheque or Cash. Fees are charged for a child's absence due to illness, holiday (your child's place is being held for their return) and for statutory holidays.  
     
  A booking fee is due at the time of enrolment equal to one week’s tuition or $50, whichever is greater. This is allocated to centre fees when the child starts. If the child does not start at the Centre, the forward payment will be refunded minus $50.00 which will be retained as an administration fee.  
     
   
     
  At any time we can provide you with a summary of sessions attended and monies paid. End of year tax return statements are available on request.  
     
  As staff have often had a long day, parents arriving to collect their children after the closing time will be charged a late fee of $20.00 per 15 minutes (or part there-of) per child. This fee will be included in your next invoice and is used to pay the overtime for the two staff.  
     
  Jump Start Kids receive government funding from the Ministry of Education. This will be displayed at the end of the funding year on the Notice board at the Centre.  
     
  Work and Income New Zealand have a subsidy available to some families. We have information available about this or you can contact your local WINZ office..
