Fee Payment Policy
Cromwell Kids Fun Club is a non-profit organisation providing quality care for children aged 5-12 years
For a booking to be confirmed, you will receive an invoice of payment. To secure your child’s or children’s space at the Cromwell Kids Fun Club holiday programme we require part payment of each invoice. A 50% deposit prior to the start of the holiday programme is required and then the following 50% deposit is due before the programme finishes. You will be sent an invoice with the appropriate dates on it for payment. All bills are to be paid prior to the programme finishing. Any bookings in the middle of the programme need to be paid for that day.
Cromwell Kids Fun Club policy states that failure to pay by the due date will incur a 10% penalty fee and no further bookings will be accepted until payment is made in full. Future bookings may require prepayment before the child is able to attend.
There is a late fee should you children be picked up late or after the time frame of their booking eg: after 3.30 pm for a short day and after 6 pm for a long day. The fee is $50.00 every 15 minute increments and is at the discretion of the Co ordinator. Parents should ring into the Kids Club mobile phone - 022 564 1977 to let the Supervisor know if you are running late.
Cromwell Kids Fun Club takes no responsibility for children bringing personal items and or money to the School Holiday Programme.
Making Changes/Cancelling
Any changes or cancellations made AFTER Confirmations have been sent will incur a $30 administration fee. Changes to timetables will be considered on a case by case basis provided we can fill the spaces. If the space is unable to be filled then you will still be liable for those charges. Full or part cancellations need to be given a 2 week notice prior the holiday programme starting date to allow refund. NO refunds will be given after that.

BEHAVIOUR POLICY
BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT POLICY
Cromwell Kids Fun Club Inc.
(updated August 2026)
Rationale
Children and Staff have the right to feel safe at Kids Club. We promote positive behaviour by setting clear behaviour expectations and structuring inclusive activities.
Purpose
To provide clear guidelines to Staff when managing children’s behaviour.
To help ensure consistency of practice throughout the Kids Club when promoting positive behaviour and responding to unacceptable behaviour.
To contribute to ensuring a safe physical and emotional environment for all Children and Staff.
Guidelines for Behaviour Management
All participants of the CKFC will be expected to behave appropriately with the following emphasis;
Respect for each other
Respect for staff
Respect for equipment and property
Listen to instructions and carry them out accordingly
When a child misbehaves or ignores the agreed program rules, staff will:
Remind the child in an assertive but non-aggressive manner of what is expected of them and the consequences of ignoring a program rule.
If the child continues with the behavior, he/she will be reminded again and warned that repeat behavior will result in a consequence.
If the child continues to misbehave, they will be removed from the activity, supported by a staff member to regulate their emotions and accompany a staff member to carry out a task or different activity (e.g. tidying up, setting out a new activity etc.)
If, when they are reintroduced into the program, unacceptable behaviour is still ongoing, then parents are notified with a written warning outlining what is acceptable and what is not. Parents will be spoken to and given a copy of the warning.
If a child continuously behaves in a manner that endangers themselves or others, and despite the above measures, parents / caregivers will be called and required to pick their child up from the programme immediately and the child will be removed from the remainder of the holiday programme.
If a child or children refuse to go with the group to an outing or activity, the parent will be called immediately to come and collect their child/ren. Depending on the circumstances, the child may not be able to return to the programme for the rest of the holiday programme duration. This will be at the discretion of the staff and committee of the Cromwell Kids Fun Club. If it is decided that the child will not be able to return to the programme for the rest of the holiday period, the parent will be contacted and communicated with via phone or via email to advise accordingly.
If a child has been removed from a previous programme and the family wants them to return to a future programme, the family will need to email chairperson@cromwellkidsfunclub.com to outline what will be different this time around that will ensure the child complies with our behaviour policy. It will then be at the discretion of the Committee whether the child is able to attend a future programme and if so, what days and times the booking will be for.
