In the Centre

Arrival and Departure

When driving to the Centre you will approach the orange Westmead Hospital boomgates. Simply press the buzzer and state that you are dropping your child off at the Child Care Centre, and the boomgate will be raised for you. Drop off zones are provided in the parking area outside the centre. The remaining parking zones are for Child Care Centre staff only.

The Centre has a security system at the front door for access to the Centre. Simply press the buzzer for the appropriate room for your child to attend, and staff will respond in that room by answering the buzzer, and on identifying the person at the door, will release the catch for the front door to be opened for you.

A sign in/sign out attendance sheet is kept for the children attending. It is the parent's responsibility to fill this in every day. In the case of an emergency, such as fire, the attendance sheet is the record for staff of the children in the Centre at the time who must be accounted for.

Sunscreen is available in the foyer for you to apply on arrival each morning. When you arrive please take your child to his/her teacher. Place your fruit in the fruit basket and your child's bag in his/her locker. If your child is wearing a nappy, please change him/her before leaving the Centre.

If the person collecting your child from the Centre is unknown to the staff then they will be asked to show photo ID to a staff member at the Centre.

We are not permitted to allow your child to leave the Centre with anyone under the age of16 years or with someone who is unknown to us without photo Id, or who does not have authorisation.
