FAQs

Everything families usually ask us before enrolling.

Still have a question?

What ages do you care for?

We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years, with a program for every stage — from The Nursery through to Kindergarten.

What are your opening hours?

Our centres are open Monday to Friday, with hours that vary by centre — from as early as 6:15am to as late as 6:30pm. You’ll find each centre’s hours on its location page.

Can you help with the Child Care Subsidy?

Yes. Our friendly team can explain what you’re eligible for and help you understand your entitlements, so child care is more affordable for your family. Call us on 1800 342 940.

Is there a waitlist?

Yes — if there isn’t a place available straight away, we’ll add you to the waitlist for your chosen centre. Send us an enquiry or call 1800 342 940.

Are meals included?

Yes. Healthy meals and snacks are prepared fresh every day by our on-site chefs.

Do you close during the year?

No — we’re open 52 weeks a year, and only closed on weekends and public holidays.

What is the atmosphere like at Una?

Calm, warm and focused. We make sure every child feels emotionally comfortable and engaged, and we encourage children to be respectful of each other, explore diversity and understand what’s fair. Our educators guide each child on a learning adventure — we’d love you to visit and see it for yourself.

What specialised learning experiences do you offer?

Our programs are a stepping stone to school, helping children prepare socially and emotionally. We offer creative learning activities, including music lessons for all age groups — included at no extra cost.

What should my child wear?

Comfortable clothes and shoes that can get messy and let them move freely indoors and out. Please make sure clothing is:

  • suitable for the weather and sun safe
  • safe for running, jumping and climbing
  • easy for your child to take on and off
  • free of hoods, drawstrings and cords (a choking hazard)
  • clearly named
What if my child needs medication?

We can give medication at the centre as long as the requirements of our Medication policy are met.

When will my child move rooms?

When your child is ready for the next age group, we’ll talk with you first. The move happens gradually, at your child’s pace, until they feel a real sense of belonging in their new room.

Can I visit my child during the day?

Yes — we have an open-door policy, so families are welcome to visit at any time. We also hold special events throughout the year, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparents Day and Occupations Week.
