Flexible Care Agreement
1. Commencing provision of Childcare
Child Record Forms: I must have a completed child record form before I can care for your child. You are responsible to ensure that you review and update this information on the form at regular intervals and inform me of any changes to this information.
School collection: It is your responsibility to ensure the school/nursery is aware of our engagement and you are responsible for the setup of arrangements of our collection and drop-off of the child.
2. Services that we provide
Food: A balanced diet is provided for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner if required. Healthy snacks will also be available throughout the day.
Collections: These are available at nominated schools. Should somebody different collect your child from my home, please telephone beforehand. Should your child not be attending school, or be collected by somebody else, again please advise me.
In an Emergency: In the event of a medical emergency, I will give first aid treatment and seek medical advice if required.
Transportation: I must have written authorisation from parent or guardian for transportation. I have fully comprehensive vehicle insurance for any journeys undertaken with your child. An appropriate car seat for the age of the child will be used at all times.
3. Charges and conditions of Childcare provision
Overtime: My normal working hours are Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 6pm. For authorised care outside contracted or normal working hours, an agreed fee will be applied.
Payment Terms: Payment is due in advance of care.
Cancellation Fees: I regret that there will be a 50% cancellation fee for all pre-booked Ad Hoc sessions agreed, either in person, over-the-telephone or by email correspondence.
Sickness: Children must not be brought to my home, nor can I collect them from school if they are unwell or suffering from a contagious illness or infection.
Child Exclusion: Should your child become incompatible with the general well-being of other children in my care, eg. bullying, disruptive or aggressive behaviour, the child will be excluded without notice.
This Agreement: If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable then such provision shall be automatically modified to the extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable and all other provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as fully valid and enforceable unless otherwise proved.
4. Miscellaneous
Photography: Please be aware that I may occasionally take photographs of children for inclusion in promotional material such as my website. Please advise if any objections. Authorisation must be in writing.
Personal Property: You are responsible to ensure that children do not bring any items of value to my home as I take no responsibility for lost property.
