Question 1

What are your hours of operation?

Accepted Answer

This is a great question! We understand that some households have different requirements for what time they need their children dropped to our facility, and what time they need be picked up. For this reason, we are open from 7.30am each morning, until 6.30pm in the evening. During this time, we will provide your child with breakfast, dinner and snacks, all abiding by our Healthy Eating Policy! Except for Fridays, those are reserved for pizza!!

Question 2

How do you handle dietary restrictions/food allergies?

Accepted Answer

We ask that parents make us fully aware of any specific allergies/dietary requirements before enrolment. We will do our best to make sure we accommodate any child's specific needs. However, if our options do not appeal to your child, we ask that you send in a packed lunch/packed snacks for them, as this way they would be familiar with the food, and would be more inclined to eat. 
Any child with allergies will have their food prepared separately to the other children's meals.

Question 3

What curriculum or educational philosophy do you follow?

Accepted Answer

At Marlin Academy Childcare, we believe in building a Kindness Curriculum surrounded by mindfulness and wellbeing. We instil these beliefs into anyone who enters our service, be that children or staff. Marlin Academy Childcare is a safe, inclusive environment, where children are safe to express themselves, and truly establish a sense of self within our walls.

Question 4

How do you communicate with parents about their child's day?

Accepted Answer

We communicate largely through WhatsApp, sending broadcast messages to all parents whose children are enrolled with us. In this day and age, it is the most efficient way to divulge information in a quick and easy-to-read manner. You will be added to this Broadcast Channel once your child has been fully enrolled. This will include Meal Plans, Timetables and any important news!
