Bonny Babes Fee Schedule

Daily Fee discount for families who attend 5 days per week

* Out of pocket expense can be much lower than the above rates depending on your eligibility for federal government assistance – Childcare Subsidy. (CCS) Calculate your rate at https://www.humanservices.gov.au

Make up days may be used within the same week as the absent day

Public Holidays are charged at 50% of daily fee if no make up day is used within the same week

Payment of Fees

A once off family enrolment fee of $50.00 is payable when your booking is confirmed. Fees are then paid in advance for the week ahead. If we are able to estimate what your weekly fee will be (less Child Care Subsidy) then you will only need to pay the gap amount. Fees are then payable weekly by the Ezidebit Direct Debit payment system.

Inclusions

Nappies & Wipes for Infants & Junior Toddlers children

Healthy meals – Morning tea, Lunch & Afternoon tea provided

Fun educational shows throughout the year

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

How does it work?

Three things will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy:

1.  Combined family income

A family’s annual adjusted taxable income will determine the percentage of subsidy they are eligible for.  To estimate what your new subsidy might be, go to education.gov.au/childcare

2.  Activity level of parents 

The number of hours of subsidised care families can access, will be determined by an activity test.  The higher the level of activity, the more hours of subsidised care families can access, up to a maximum of 100 hours per fortnight.

Recognised Activities 

• paid work – including leave, such as maternity leave
• study and training
• unpaid work in family business
• looking for work (if this is your only activity, an individual will be entitled to up to 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight)
• volunteering
• self-employment
• other activities on a case-by-case basis
