Permanent Bookings

It is assumed that permanent bookings will operate for the whole year.

Cancellation of Care: 

A two weeks’ notice will need to be given to cancel any of your child/ren’s care.

To cancel care, we ask that you complete a Cancellation of Booking form which you can collect at the centre (located in the red tray, labelled ‘Cancellation of Booking Forms” where you sign in/out), or download from the SMOOSH website.  Once the form has been completed you will need to submit the form to the Director (or a Staff member to forward on to the Director) or if preferred to email you can email it to; smoosh.stmonicas@cg.catholic.edu.au.

Please note: Your two weeks’ will take effect from the date that we receive it. For more information regarding this please see the Centre Director.

Casual Bookings

All casual bookings must be phoned through to the Director by 12:00pm the day of care. Parents will be advised via phone or email by 2:00pm if a casual place is available. A $5.00 penalty fee will also be charged for failure to notify SMOOSH of a student’s absences/attendance.

NOTE: A causal booking may include multiple days and/or multiple children.
