Sessions & Fees

When you enrol your child at Moko Club Huntly, we will work with you to book days and times that suit you. Spaces are subject to availability, but we will do our best to accommodate you or add you to a waitlist. To enable your child to form relationships with their teachers and other children, we have a minimum booking requirement of two half days a week (4.5 hours or more per day). Siblings of enrolled children are offered first preference of available vacancies. If you need to change your booking at any time, please consult with our management team.

Our centres are staffed according to our scheduled bookings. For this reason, it’s important that you contact us as soon as possible if your child won’t be attending their pre-booked session or if you need a booking change. Please also contact us if you are running late for drop off or pick up. If your child is going to be absent due to illness, please endeavour to contact us before 7:45 am that day or sooner if possible. Any permanent changes in bookings need to be approved and recorded on an amendment form, signed and attached to your enrolment agreement. We require a minimum of two weeks’ notice if you are intending to withdraw your child from Moko Club.

It is important that you feel comfortable leaving your child in our care and they get used to the centre and the staff. This is why pre-visits are essential. We encourage a minimum of three pre-visits before your child starts with us. For the first couple of visits you’ll stay the whole time, and as your child starts to settle you’ll leave for a short time to get them used to being there without you. We recommend you come for a morning, lunch and afternoon session to enable your child to become familiar with the routines of the day. All children take different lengths of time to settle into daycare life. Try to be consistent with your approach and feel free to discuss anything with us.

Centre policies and procedures can be found in the Centre office. We review our policies bi-annually and notify parents of any changes. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions around policies and procedures.

Every child aged 3, 4 and 5 in New Zealand is entitled to 20 ECE hours FREE. Entitlement is 20 hours per week, to a maximum of 6 hours per day. No fees apply for the time we are closed for two weeks over Christmas and New Year. You are entitled to book one free week and one half-price week for holidays per annual anniversary year from the start of enrolment. Please note: holiday discount cannot be banked year-to-year and cannot be taken within the first three months after enrolment. Fees must be paid up to date. Please give two weeks’ notice to administration if your child will be on holiday — your child must be absent for the whole period taken as holiday.
