Our Family Day Care Schedule
Keep this guide handy as a quick reference for standard hours and flexible care options.
Flexible and Family-Friendly Care
At Flying Start Family Day Care, we understand that every family’s needs are different — especially for families working varied or shift-based hours.
We aim to be flexible, supportive, and transparent about the care we offer, while always prioritising children’s wellbeing and safety.
Care Options
Clear information about our standard hours and additional care options.
Standard Care Hours
Regular weekly care
Flying Start Family Daycare provides care Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm, offering a reliable daily structure for families.
Before & After School Care
For school-aged children
Before and after school care is available for school-aged children, so the day is covered either side of school.
Flexible Care for Shift-Working Families
By discussion and availability
We are supportive of shift-working families and understand that work hours can vary. Care arrangements may be discussed by arrangement and subject to availability.
Complimentary Date Night Care
For enrolled families
Complimentary date night care may be available once per semester for enrolled families, typically from 6:00pm to 10:00pm, with limited places available.
Overnight Care
Considered case by case
Overnight care is not part of our standard service and may be considered on a case-by-case basis following discussion with families.
Why Families Value Clear Hours
Consistency Helps Children and Parents
Clear care hours make daily routines easier for families and help children know what to expect. That consistency often supports smoother arrivals, calmer transitions, and a stronger sense of security.
For families with more complex schedules, flexible care options can also make a real difference when discussed in advance.
A clear schedule often means:
- more predictable routines
- easier planning for families
- less stress at arrival and collection
- more comfort and confidence for children
Helpful Reminders
If you need a different arrangement, the best approach is to ask early so availability can be discussed properly.
