Terms & Conditions
Play Time OSCAR Programme Terms and Conditions of Enrolment in the Programme
By registering and enrolling with Play Time Before/After School/Holiday Care you agree to the Terms & Conditions:
Contact Information - How do we contact you if there’s an emergency? We also need two (2) other emergency contact numbers if you are not available, per MSD child safety requirements.
a) By booking with Play Time you hereby agree to keep all your contact details current, complete and accurate, and to check emails on the email address provided in your profile.
b) You hereby acknowledge that you are responsible for keeping this information updated on Enrolmy and checking it upon each booking made, updating contact information where necessary.
c) Contact details include but are not limited to primary and secondary caregiver contact numbers, 2x emergency contact numbers (these do not need to be pickups, and therefore do not need to be located nearby).
For my child’s safety I hereby agree to keep my Contact Information and Emergency Contacts current, to check that they are correct, and to read emails from Play Time.
Cancellation Policy - 1 full rolling week notice - The cancellation policy applies to all bookings, including bookings not made 1 week in advance due to the impact on staffing rosters and resourcing costs.
I hereby agree that I understand that the Cancellation Policy is 1 full week notice / 7 day rolling* cancellation notice period, and that this is due to staff rosters and resourcing.
*I understand that the 1 full week / 7 day rolling period starts from “tomorrow” for 7 days, and Enrolmy will permit changes after that.
Booking Changes
a. Booking changes must be made by the account holder in your Enrolmy, within the cancellation notice period.
b. No booking changes will be made by admin.
c. The Enrolmy booking is locked for the full 7 rolling day period and will permit bookings that can be changed/ removed/ cancelled, to be changed/ removed/ cancelled from 7 rolling days. *See above.
d. If a booking has not been removed in Enrolmy, the booking was staffed and resourced by the Programme, and payment is due regardless of attendance.
e. If your child will not be attending a booked session that has not removed, it is regarded as an Absence and you are required to notify the staff (see Absence Notification below).
f. No refunds or credit is applicable for absences. Full fees are charged for all absences, including but not limited to: change of circumstances, late bookings, shy child, sickness, early pickup requested due to behaviour.
g. WINZ clients: you hereby acknowledge that additional bookings made incur additional costs, and these are your responsibility. It is your responsibility to complete the relevant forms to let winz know about any additional days/fees/hours/changes to your bookings, ie. Change of Circumstance form. If the forms have not been submitted and processed by winz, the Winz Customers Payment Terms (see point “o” above) apply.
I hereby agree that I will make all booking changes / cancellations / removals in Enrolmy and I understand no booking changes are made by Play Time. I agree to pay for all bookings that are in the system.

- I will pick my child up at, or before, the end time of my booked session (not after the end time).

Exclusions
Play Time uses behaviour guidance techniques that communicate in children’s language the expectations of appropriate behaviour and we empower children to meet those expectations. It is our goal for children to feel valued and be competent and confident in a safe, secure and respectful environment and to make good choices. This is achieved by having clear expectations, by using positive reinforcement and by providing a stimulating and varied programme with approachable staff. Every effort will be made to help your child settle into the programme. However, if a child’s behaviour is consistently harmful and/or disruptive to themselves, to the other children or to staff, parents/caregivers will be asked to remove him/her from the programme for a period of time or may even result in the termination of their enrolment.
If my child has a Teacher Aide or Caregiver/Minder during the school day (ie. a 1:1 child:adult ratio), I confirm that have contacted Play Time to discuss their enrolment with Play Time as per Play Time’s requirements.
a) I understand that Play Time reserves the right to suspend or terminate any enrolment immediately and without question if any policies are breached.
b) I acknowledge that Parents/caregivers must collect their children immediately if this situation arises.
c) I acknowledge that I am responsible for any damage caused by any child that I register for a Play Time programme and I will pay any costs associated with repair.
d) I understand that if a parent/caregiver or authorised pickup demonstrates behaviour that is threatening to the safety of Play Time staff and children in their care, that Play Time reserves, at their sole discretion, the right to refuse or withdraw the enrolment of my child immediately.
e) I understand that the normal cancellation terms and conditions apply if a child is excluded for any reason including but not limited to non-payment of fees or harmful behaviour.
Health and Safety – By booking, I understand:
a) Signing in and Out Procedures: I understand it is my responsibility to sign my child/ren IN to Before School Care and Holiday Care on the device, and to sign my child/ren OUT from After School Care and Holiday Programmes.
b) Children will not be released to anyone not on the authorised pickup list.
c) Accidents/incidents are recorded in an Accident and Incident Book, and I will be required to sign entries Play Time staff have advised me of the accident/incident.
d) Play Time First Aid trained and certified staff will attend to a minor injury or illness as soon as possible. Minor injuries include but are not limited to minor cuts, abrasions, bumps, etc.
e) In the event of a more serious injury, an ambulance will be called before parents are notified. Play Time staff will transport children to an A&E only if it is a better option than waiting for an ambulance. Seeking outside medical care is at the sole discretion of the Play Time staff on duty.
f) I understand that Play Time will not be held liable for any costs incurred in seeking medical attention for my child.
g) I understand that I will be notified by Play Time staff of any head injury a child my has sustained while in Play Time’s care.
h) By booking my child with Play Time I agree to inform Play Time if my child has been diagnosed, or suspected of having, an infectious illness, or if my child has diarrhoea or is vomiting, and I agree to withdraw my child from the programme immediately until they are medically fit to return. Infectious illnesses may be, but are not limited to, chickenpox, Covid-19, measles, school sores (impetigo). I understand that the normal Cancellation Notice period of 1 week applies because Play Time has rostered staff.
i) I agree to provide and keep updated important safety information: ie. approved/unapproved pickups, custodial agreements, dietary requirements and behaviour information.
j) I understand that between September – April children are required to sunblock before playing outside. Children who refuse to apply sunblock may be kept inside for their safety.
k) I understand that Play Time staff will administer medication if a Medication Consent Form has been provided. If I require that my child self-administers medication (eg. asthma inhaler, epipen) then a Medical Consent Form is required. I understand that if medication is held by the school, it is not accessible by Play Time, so Play Time will require separate medication to be supplied.
l) Play Time has a detailed child protection policy which includes the reporting of any suspected child abuse to Oranga Tamariki. Play Time’s Child Protection Policy is available to view at each of our venues.
m) Play Time provides transportation for Before and After School, and Holiday Care. All drivers are appropriately licenced and vehicles have appropriate child restraints. At time, Play Time may book a commercial bus service. By booking a child in our programmes, you provide consent to your child being transported.
n) Play Time keeps a daily hazard register onsite.
