Kindy Cottage aims to keep fees affordable and accepts childcare subsidies where possible
We know that childcare can be expensive, so at Kindy Cottage we aim to keep our childcare fees as affordable as possible.
Our early learning centre also offers subsidies where appropriate. The two main subsidies available are:
20 Hours Subsidy - for children aged 3-years-old or older the 20 hours subsidy can be applied. This enables your child to attend a centre for 20 hours a week funded by the government.
WINZ – you may also qualify for childcare support based on your family income level. Our team can help you with completing the required paperwork for this.
Kindy Cottage also offers a family discount in some circumstances if you have more than one child attending our nursery or preschool.
