What is the minimum number of days required for enrolment?

How do I pay my fees?

Our billing cycle is charged on a weekly basis via direct debit for child care fees, one week in advance. Statements are released on Wednesday each week, ahead of charges on Thursday and are available in the finance tab in our Parent App. The Primary Parent can also change & update payment methods at any time.

What are the Centre operating hours?

We operate from Monday to Friday (7:30am to 6pm). This excludes public holidays. Christmas closure: Our services close the last business Friday of the year and reopen on the first Monday following New Years Eve. The Christmas closure period is free of charge.

Why do I need to pay for a public holiday?

The reason we need to charge on public holidays is because we have everyday costs that take place, regardless of whether children are at the centre or not. Some early childhood services absorb their running costs into their fees making their daily rate higher. This may mean that you are paying for public holidays even if your child is not enrolled on a public holiday. The great news is that we also offer 4 weeks of holidays per year where you can get a 50% discount on your gap fee so that you can enjoy that time with your family without worrying about losing your child’s position.

What is Childcare Subsidy (CCS)?

Child Care Subsidy, also known as CCS, is an Australian Government program designed to assist families with the cost of childcare. The subsidy aims to make childcare more affordable and accessible for families. To work out an estimate of your out of pocket expenses, follow the link below. A Customer Reference Number (CRN) will need to be provided to the centre to receive your Centrelink CCS co-contribution to your fees. Follow the link below to find out more about your Customer Reference Number. Your CCS activity levels are confirmed by Centrelink depending on your circumstances and will provide a number of hours of care each fortnight. To find out more information about CCS and eligibility, go to the Child Care Subsidy Information page on Services Australia available below.

How does the childcare Subsidy (CCS) work?

Your subsidy will be subtracted from the full fees owing, leaving a gap fee which is the amount families pay to the Centre. The subsidy a family receives is determined by the Government and not by Simba Education. The amount depends on your family's employment and study activities. More information can be found in the link below. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to apply for Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) from the Government over and above the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). The Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) is a Temporary Financial Hardship payment designed to support families experiencing significant financial stress due to exceptional circumstances. To discuss your individual circumstances, please contact our service for further support.

  • Making the move to simba has being incredible the change in my almost 4yr old with his engagement, learning and discussions on his day have helped me learn more about him and raised my expectations on what early childhood education should be.

    The amazing staff have fabulous experience and have a focus on mindfulness and inclusion. I feel my voice is also heard with what I want for my child with parent collaboration sessions.
    Alice Hamer
  • This place is incredible. They truly care for my kids and offer a variety of activities for both children and parents. They're constantly checking in to make sure my kids have everything they need and are always looking for ways to support their individual needs and help them grow.
    Paula Guevara
  • We absolutely love Simba Education. The facilities are amazing, with bright, spacious indoor areas and a huge outdoor space with plenty of shade. The educators are fantastic, so kind, experienced, and genuinely caring. Our daughter adores them and really enjoys her time here! 
    One of the best things about this daycare is how much effort they put into making learning fun. There are always new, creative activities happening, and it never feels repetitive. Whether it’s exciting hands-on projects, outdoor exploration, or group activities that build social skills, there’s always something fresh and engaging. 
    They also truly value parents’ input and make real improvements based on feedback, which is amazing to see. 
    I can see our daughter growing so much here, socially, emotionally, and academically. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and nurturing environment!
