Bookings and Cancellations
Bookings for Before and After School Care can be made via the OWNA app. Casual bookings can be made on the day as long as we have spaces available to book, as we are legally required to keep within our mandated ratios. Cancellations of bookings for care throughout the term must be made by marking your child/ren as not attending via the OWNA app.
All cancellations require two business days’ notice prior to the session commencing (does not include weekends or public holidays). Cancellation of bookings with less than two business days’ notice, or if a child is absent without notice, will incur the full fee. In the case of your child being unwell and a medical certificate can be provided, the fee will be waived. For any unforeseen circumstances, it will be at the discretion of OSHC leadership. All bookings for Vacation Care and Pupil Free Days are made via the OWNA app.

bowls, wraps, yoghurt and berries, vegetables, crackers and dip.
All meal options meet the Right Bite Food and Drink Supply Standards.
The service also caters for children with any dietary requirements. If this information is not on your child’s enrolment, please advise a staff member.
Please remember that Nailsworth Primary School OSHC is a nut free zone. The following foods are not allowed in the OSHC environment: peanuts, tree nuts, nut products, Nutella or peanut butter.
Food Safety
Food Safety is of the utmost importance. Food is prepared and stored hygienically in line with food preparation guidelines. All children and staff must wash and dry hands thoroughly before preparing, serving and/or eating food.
Authorisations
The Nailsworth Primary School OSHC service recognises that extra-curricular activities can provide a valuable option for children to participate in activities that support their growth, development and interests. The service will work with families to support the access of such activities. Examples of such activities have included sport practices, sport clinics, working with a tutor and music lessons.
If your child will be participating in an extra-curricular activity whilst attending Out of School Hours Care please complete the Extra-Curricular Activities Consent Form and return it to Nailsworth Primary School OSHC, as the legislative framework requires that written consent must be supplied to the OSHC prior to commencement.
In order for your child to be collected by anyone other than a parent or guardian the individual must be listed on your child’s enrolment form. They will be asked to provide photo identification before your child will be released into their care.
If you have someone under the age of 18 collecting your child we ask that you email the service, with their personal details and a photograph acknowledging that they have permission to collect your child.
Red Hats
All children who attend Nailsworth Primary School OSHC are required to have a red hat to wear whilst playing in the school yard, and on excursions in the community.
You can purchase hats via the QKR! App.
