Please note:
Submitting an enrolment request or enquiry does not constitute a confirmed enrolment or booking. No enrolment or booking is confirmed until you have received confirmation from St Nicholas.
For casual and Vacation Care bookings, we have a 5-day cancellation policy, after which the parent/carer will be liable for their full fees for that session. For permanent bookings, we have a 2-week cancellation policy.
One-off cancellations for permanent bookings still require the parent/carer to pay their full fees for that session, unless the cancellation is permanent, in which case the family will forfeit their permanent place for that session.

At St Nicholas Early Education, our programs are thoughtfully designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We partner with parents and families to create a nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported as they embark on their educational journey.
Through our early childhood education programs, children develop critical social, emotional, and cognitive skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for school and beyond. Our educators are passionate about inspiring young minds and cultivating a sense of wonder that stays with children throughout their lives. In doing so, our OOSH, childcare and early learning centres create the building blocks for academic excellence throughout your child’s education.
