Garfield Childcare

EDIT- Asking to remove review is not the best remedy. The viewers and mgmt need to see all reviews, not just praising ones- another reviewer reported they asked higher bond money from her. This happened to me, so I posted. No exaggeration. No fabricated statement. The staff that day would have been too busy to record the enquiry and hence they cannot understate. The mgmt needs to accept the shortcomings and labelling inappropriate review if they can't find praise is not ideal. NO STAR ###### Initial review -I'd given couple of stars for the rooms, location. Programs, Area, Location good. However, the management is rather BOND money minding.The staff asked for 600 AUD as bond money when enquired for the child to attend for just TWO days a week. Puzzled by the amount, when I asked them if they were holding 2 weeks of fees and what was the calculation adding upto 600 and, the staff replied casually" Oh bond money covers damages done by kids". How unprofessional that answer was. We knew bond money is to cover for the final week when parents don't have to -pay or leave without notice.-- IDEALLY , they can request the "Number of days attended per week cost" as bond money. Eg": When a full day costs 100AUD, then 2 days 200 AUD. They can ask 1 week bond money or MAX 2 wks. The maximum amount would have not been more than 400 AUD. THAT STAFF did not bother and failed to give satisfactory reasons other than her own and unacceptable reason. Yes, this happened. Needless to say, I refused to enrol. Calculating: If the centre had 50 kids at any given time and they got 600 dollars from every child irrespective of the number of days they attend, they have 30,000 AUD at disposal. In any #childcare #daycare, ALWAYS be willing to pay 1 week or max 2 weeks of childcare fees ( i.e., childcare fees to be paid per fortnight) of bond money, not more than that. ------ Update I had known centres in Wentworthville charging as minimum as 150 at that time regardless of the days. This happened a few years ago.
