At Play Time Golden Sands Before and After School Care we have a team who are passionate about children, and we pride ourselves in providing care filled with fun and laughter!

Children are met at the Multi-Purpose Space after school. We pick up our younger children, and new entrant children, from their classrooms and walk with them to After School Care. We do this until they are confident in coming to us by themselves.

Once all children have been accounted for, we sit down for a group roll call and then serve a delicious afternoon tea. Once afternoon tea is done, our children then have the option of going to the Playground or joining in on a structured activity. We have weekly planners that are created with our kids’ input, and this includes Arts and Crafts, Baking and Discovery activities!

If you have any questions, or want to come in for a chat, you are welcome to pop in and see the Programme Manager – Shani 😊

I agree that I am responsible for checking myMSD account and for my WINZ forms being submitted on time and WINZ Reviews kept up to date. 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. Complaints Play Time welcomes all feedback. If you have any issues or concerns to discuss please approach the supervisor on duty. If this is not an option, please contact Bruce 021 998979 or Thurla 021 1919 222 or email [email=admin@play-time.co.nz]admin@play-time.co.nz[/email].

During the enrolment process you may expressly deny permission for this. b) Play Time operates a CLOSED Facebook page for each of our sites. This is for the purpose of showing you snippets of your child’s day, and some of their creations during their time with us. By enrolling with Play Time you agree that our staff may take and post photos of your child engaged in activities and their creations to the closed Facebook page. During the enrolment process you may expressly deny permission for this. c) Note that Play Time does NOT by default seek permission to use these photos on public forums and marketing material. If Play Time wishes to use a photo on a public forum (eg. our website) or marketing material we would first seek permission from you to do so.

Play Time strives to provide a top-quality service for you, and one that is enjoyable and safe for your children. Where there may be any consequence resulting from an act or omission, neither Play Time nor its staff, or contractor, shall be held personally liable where all reasonable and practical steps are deemed to have been taken in accordance with Play Time’s Policies and Procedures and NZ legislations. d) In the event that a holiday programme Trip Day cannot be delivered due to weather or for any other reason, Play Time will replace the activity with a similar priced activity (eg. movies). Privacy and Confidentiality a) Information collected by Play Time OSCAR Programme is collected for the sole purpose of caring effectively for your child/ren and to comply with our obligations as an accredited service provider to MSD. b) In accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014 and other relevant legislation, this information will not be distributed or used for any other purpose. c) Information collected may be viewed by the Ministry of Social Development as part of an audit. d) You may view your information at any time on your Parent and Child profile on Enrolmy. e) You also have the right to request a copy of this information from Play Time.
