Your child will need a bag containing:
- Water bottle

- If applicable nappies or spare underwear for the day (we provide wipes).
Yes we provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. We provide a variety of healthy, nutritional and yummy selection of food. Today’s families choose varied and different diets for their children. We cater for the different needs and requests from families.
For any specific diet requests or allergies please see our Director who will organise a meeting with you.
A form will need to be completed for the administration of medications. Medications will be given to one of our teachers and should never be left in your child’s bag.
We are open Monday through to Friday. Our opening hours are 7am to 6pm. Blossom is only closed for public holidays and on weekends.
You can discuss your child with our teachers when you drop off and pick up your child or by calling them throughout the day. If you have general queries about your child’s experience at Blossom you can contact us via email or phone.
You can fill out an online form through this website or email us at blossommorningside@gmail.com. Once officially open please call or pop in to organise a time to be shown around Blossom. We would love to meet you and your family and introduce you to our beautiful staff and show you around our gorgeous little Mini School.
Children can attend Forest Learning when they are eligible for our Dragonflies Room.
The Child Care Subsidy, or CCS is an Australian Government initiative to assist you with the cost of childcare.
You can find out more about the CCS and your eligibility here. The CCS is managed by Centrelink and it may be worth going into your local Centrelink office for advice or assistance.
It is always worth enquiring into your eligibility for the CCS. The amount you are eligible for depends on your family’s income, the type of childcare you enrol in and recognised activities. There are many activities that are recognised that may contribute to your eligibility. These include such activities as volunteering, study, unpaid work, self-employment and even looking for work activities.
Once your child has been successfully enrolled for the CCS the amount for which you are eligible will be automatically deducted from your fees. Therefore, the amount you will be invoiced for in your statements from Blossom will be the remaining difference in your fees.
We do not charge an enrolment fee.
The bond amount is $200 per family. It does not have the CCS applied. Subsequent children per family do not incur another bond amount.
The bond is refunded to your selected account at the cease of your enrolment provided two weeks notice is given and your account is up to date.
If your child is not currently enrolled, Blossom does not offer casual bookings.
If your child is enrolled on a regular basis, and there is availability, we will do our best to accommodate your needs for casual days.
