Parents will be given one full term’s notice for any changes to fees and pricing structure thereafter. The rate charged for after school care is dependent on ‘regular’ and ‘casual’ booking basis. The fee structure is designed to make it more financially beneficial for parents who require more care.

BANKING DETAILS All payments can be made into the following account:

Account name: Silvereye Kids Limited
Account Number: 12-3615-0048549-00

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Online banking - Fees can be paid directly via electronic financial transfer (EFT) to Nikau Kids or by automatic/online bank payment authority.
Direct debit - A direct debit (weekly or fortnightly) with Flo2cash, the financial institution and provider to Enrolmy (with whom Nikau Kids does our enrolments, bookings and invoicing) is available upon request. A direct debit authority form will need to be completed, returned and submitted for approval. Third party terms and conditions apply.
Cash - Payment by cash is not encouraged, a receipt will be issued with every cash payment. No cash is kept on site for safety reasons.
Credit card - Payments via credit card are also available. There is an applicable credit card transaction fee of 1.85% which is charged on the total amount. Third party terms and conditions apply.

PAYMENT PLANS Nikau Kids acknowledges that the issue of unpaid invoices and debt collection can be a sensitive issue and accordingly undertakes that it will use its best endeavours to handle all debt collection matters with the necessary goodwill towards the parents involved and in a fair and equitable manner. To help families in temporary and “unavoidable” financial difficulties where invoices are unable to be paid in full, payment plans are available upon request in order to enable parents to pay off debt and maintain payments for ongoing care. Payment plans are offered solely at the discretion of the management team. Where a payment plan is defaulted on, Nikau Kids reserves the right to suspend or terminate all bookings until the debt is paid in full and parents and caregivers will be given 48 hours notice in writing.

DEBT COLLECTION Nikau Kids reserves the right, at all times, to use the services of recognised debt collection agencies, such as Veda and Baycorp, to collect outstanding monies owed in situations where all reasonable debt collection measures have been used without success. The cost of any action taken by the programme to recover unpaid fees and invoices will be met by the parents of the child concerned. Where regular debt reminders are required, Nikau Kids further reserves the right to require an upfront retainer equivalent to two (2) weeks’ fees, payable in addition to the standard upfront deposit for care.

REFUNDS No refunds are given for absences. A discretionary non-notification penalty charge of $10 may be charged if parents have not contacted the manager or management team via text or email to advise of their child’s absence prior to 1:45pm for after school care.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES A $10.00 discretionary administrative fee may be applied for any additional administrative requirements. This will be communicated to the client before being added to the invoice.

SESSIONS, FEES & CANCELATIONS Nikau Kids offers both regular and casual after school care sessions to help meet the needs of our parents. To take advantage of our regular booking rates, 48 hours notice in writing is required for any changes or cancellations. Casual bookings are perfect for those odd occasions where childcare is a must. Bookings remain open until midnight the night before care is required and cancellations on the day of care are free before 10am, thereafter full charges apply. Bookings are secured with a $100 per child deposit. Please note that regular rates with casual benefits are not offered.

DISCOUNTS Nikau Kids is committed to making after school care and holiday programme care affordable for the families in our community by offering discounts where possible. Sibling discounts are available for regular after school care bookings only and not casual care bookings, more information on this is provided in the after school care programme brochure. Early bird discounts for holiday programme care are available and more information on this is provided in the holiday programme brochure. Sibling discounts are NOT offered for holiday programme care. Nikau Kids does not give discounts or reimbursements for early collections. Sibling discounts are offered for regular bookings for after school care. These are not offered for casual bookings or for holiday programmes. The 5-day regular booking discount applies to weeks where all booked days are charged. If a booked day is cancelled (even with the required notice), the remaining charged days will fall below the discount threshold, therefore the discount rate will not apply for that week.

DEPOSITS All families enrolling their child are required to pay an upfront $100.00 deposit, per child. The deposit will secure a child’s booking and becomes refundable when Nikau Kids’ care is no longer required and all outstanding invoices are paid. Deposits should be referenced as "deposit" along with the child's name when making an online payment. When a child no longer requires care and all invoices are paid, the deposit or portion thereof becomes refundable. For a refund to be processed, parents are responsible to notify the office that care is no longer needed, request a refund for the deposit and supply bank details. If the parents have not made contact with the office within a year of their child not attending Nikau Kids requesting a refund of the deposit and supplying their bank details, the deposit or part thereof, will be allocated towards administration fees.

OVERDUE INVOICE & ADMINISTRATION FEES Payments will be deemed overdue 1 day after the date of issue of the invoice. An invoice reminder will be sent the day after the invoice is issued if payment has not been received. If no payment is made within 7 days of the invoice date, all bookings will be temporarily suspended until the outstanding balance is paid in full. No child will be permitted to book or attend a holiday programme with unpaid or unsettled after school term fees. Likewise, no child will be permitted to book or attend term time care with unpaid or unsettled holiday programme fees. A weekly discretionary non-payment penalty and administration charge of $5 per unpaid invoice, regardless of the amount, may be applied once an invoice is 7 days overdue. Where debt collection action is regularly required on an account, and to assist in avoiding further debt accumulation, Nikau Kids reserves the right to require payment in advance for term time care.

ENROLMENTS AND BOOKINGS All bookings and enrolments for after school care and holiday programmes are done online using Enrolmy. Parents log on to Enrolmy using their username and password, then select the days and sessions they would like their child to attend. A system generated email will be sent out to families to confirm their booking. It is the responsibility of each child’s parent to ensure all personal details are accurate and kept up-to-date. A child may not be booked into a programme without the enrolment process being completed as this is an MSD requirement.

HOLIDAY BOOKINGS

Venue - Nikau Kids will operate its holiday programme from the Ormiston Primary School multipurpose space (hall), 291 Ormiston Rd, Flat Bush, Auckland 2016.
Change of circumstances - Should circumstances change after completing a holiday booking, parents are to contact the office before the holiday programme starts and Nikau Kids will do its best to accommodate any changes. Once the holiday programme begins, all bookings are final as our forty eight hour cancellation policy only applies to after school care. When combining Nikau Kids and Ormi Kids for a holiday programme is not possible due to conflicting school calendars, Nikau Kids will operate its holiday programme from the Te Uho o te Nikau Primary School Hall. This usually happens only for a few days at the beginning and end of each year.
Absenteeism - Should a child be booked in on a day and not attend, a full charge for non attendance will apply and swaps are not permitted.
Drop offs and collections - Children booked in for an 8:30am to 3pm session may be dropped off no earlier than 8:15am and collected no later than 3:15pm as a ‘grace’ window of 15 minutes is allowed. Any child who is booked in for an 8:30am to 3pm session and is still in our care after 3:15pm will automatically be charged for the full day, 8:30pm - 6pm session. Children booked in for an 8:30am to 6pm session may be dropped off no earlier than 8:15am and collected no later than 6pm. Late penalties will apply for any child collected after 6pm. Any child dropped off before 8:15am will be offered breakfast and automatically be charged for our early, breakfast session, regardless of whether they eat breakfast or not as supervised care has been provided.
Payments and bookings - Holiday programme invoices are payable in full by the latest twenty four hours before the first day of the holiday programme. Should payment not be made by the latest twenty four hours before the commencement of the holiday programme, Nikau Kids reserves the right to suspend or terminate the booking and the parent will be notified in writing.
Non bookings and walk-ins - Nikau Kids does not permit walk-ins and right of admission is reserved, regardless of whether a child is booked in for other days or programmes. Nikau Kids will endeavour to accommodate walk-ins however due to staffing, excursion fees, transport limitations and Ministry of Social Development OSCAR restrictions, attendance may be denied. If a parent is not present with the child, the programme supervisor will call the child’s parents and request them to collect their child. Measures will be taken by the programme supervisor to ensure the child is kept safe and not embarrassed while waiting to be collected.

GRACE WINDOW A ‘grace’ window of 15 minutes for after school care is allowed, meaning any child in our care after 4:15pm will automatically be charged for our full 6pm session. The after school care 4pm ‘early pick up’ rate is only payable for confirmed early pick up bookings. This ‘grace’ window applies to the holiday programme half day session as well, explained above in holiday programme bookings. The ‘grace period’ does NOT apply for children who are collected after 6pm during after school care and holiday programmes.

SEVERE ILLNESSES Where sudden and severe illnesses and injuries occur resulting in a ‘regular booked’ child being hospitalised for a period of three or more consecutive days, a 50% discount will be offered. This will be based on the goodwill of the company and a doctor’s certificate must be produced. For all other illnesses and circumstances resulting in non attendance, regardless of whether a doctor’s certificate is produced, parents will be charged in full.

GIVING NOTICE To take advantage of our regular booking rates, 48 hours notice in writing is required for any changes or cancellations. Casual bookings are perfect for those odd occasions where childcare is a must. Bookings remain open until midnight the night before care is required and cancellations on the day of care are free before 10am, thereafter full charges apply.

LATE COLLECTION If a parent is late picking up their children, a late fee of $10 for every 10 minutes per child or part thereof will be charged to cover costs.

WORK AND INCOME (WINZ) Nikau Kids is an OSCAR approved provider by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) allowing low income families to apply for WINZ subsidies. Application forms are kept on site and the site supervisor/manager will be available to assist parents if required. Parents receiving WINZ are required to take full responsibility for their account and must deal directly with Work and Income regarding any issues or disputes. Families who have applied for WINZ and are waiting for approval are required to pay their invoices off on time and in full. Should WINZ process any back payments that result in a credit on the account, this will be credited towards the child's account.

SIGNING IN/OUT OF CHILDREN Children are required to be signed in and out for after school and holiday programme care by a nominated caregiver listed on the enrolment form, this is for each child’s safety and proof of identity may be required at the time of collection.

UNAUTHORISED PICK-UPS Please text and advise our office 0204 555 015 (before 1:45pm ) and site phone 0204 666 016 (after 1:45pm) if there is a change in the person who will be collecting your child.

SICK CHILDREN Although supervisors/managers are trained in first aid, we do not have the facilities to look after sick children. If a child arrives at the programme and is visibly unwell, the programme reserves the right not to accept that child. If a child becomes unwell during a programme, caregivers will be notified and requested to pick their child up as soon as possible. We will endeavour to make the child as comfortable as possible until a nominated caregiver arrives. Nikau Kids has policies and procedures for accidents and emergencies and for children requiring medication.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS When a child is enrolled for a regular after school care booking on a specific day of a week and that specific day includes a public holiday, fees are payable for the day of that holiday. There is no charge for public holidays that occur within a school holiday, and the programme will not operate.

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS OR ABILITIES An open door policy exists for children with special needs. Nikau Kids must however be able to meet the needs of that child and continue to meet the needs of the other children participating in the programme according to the MSD OSCAR guidelines. Each case will be considered individually and every effort will be made to include the child within the limits of the resources of the programme however we are not in a position to provide one on one care. If a caregiver is currently in support at school for that child, then for safety and other reasons, that caregiver is required to be present at all times with the child at the programme. Any costs associated with having a caregiver at the programme will be the responsibility of the parents or legal guardian.

BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT Nikau Kids has behaviour management policies and procedures in place that are in line with those of the schools. These ensure our programme is a pleasant and safe place for all children. We encourage children to be polite, co-operative and considerate towards others and above all to have respect for themselves, peers, staff and the environment. If a child’s behaviour is consistently unmanageable, disrespectful or is harmful to other children and staff, a stand down period may be implemented or parents may be asked to remove their child from the programme.

CHILDREN’S PERSONAL PROPERTY We do not encourage children to bring their own toys, belongings, valuables or devices to the programme. Our programme is fully equipped with a wide range of indoor and outdoor games and materials. Nikau Kids will not be held responsible for damages or liable for the loss of money, valuables or personal possessions that belong to a child regardless of the reason.

CHILD SAFETY Nikau Kids has a detailed child protection policy in place. The programme is committed to the prevention of child abuse and to the protection of children and young persons.
