Fees & Subsidy
Clear fees.
A confident start.
We believe in transparency, so you can plan with confidence.
Our daily fee: $155 per day
Included in every day:
- Five meals a day — breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack — made fresh on-site by our in-house chef, fully halal, with every allergy and dietary need catered for
- Our EYLF + Arkki creative curriculum and all incursions
- Nappies and wipes, sunscreen and a Smart Steps hat
- Bed linen and all learning materials
- Real-time updates via the OWNA app
Just bring a spare change of clothes. There are no hidden extras — $155 a day is all-inclusive.
Most families pay far less
As a registered service, eligible families receive the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Families of 3–5s may also access NSW Start Strong fee relief.

Enrolment fee, bond and payments
Is there an enrolment fee and bond?
Yes. A $155 enrolment fee is paid on confirmation of enrolment, before your child starts. A bond of two weeks' full fees secures your place and is refunded when 4 weeks' written notice is given and your account is up to date.
How are fees paid?
Fees are paid fortnightly in advance by direct debit. You'll receive a statement showing fees charged and any CCS applied; your gap fee is the difference.
Do I pay for absences and public holidays?
Yes. Fees are charged for every booked day, including sick days, family holidays and public holidays, and for full sessions only regardless of hours attended. CCS covers up to 42 absence days per child each financial year.
How much notice do I need to give?
4 weeks' written notice to end your enrolment, and 2 weeks' notice to change your days.
What if I am late for pick-up?
Children must be collected by 6:00 pm. Please call us if you're running late; late collection fees may apply.
