At Fair Play OOSH, we specialise only in Out of School Hours Care (OSHC). All our OSHC services provide an environment for children that is engaging, caring, fun and friendly. Our services can be used in many ways by all families with primary-school-aged children. Some of our families are regulars, and utilise our services every day because of work commitments. Other families might need to use our service ‘once in a while’, such as when there’s an appointment they just can’t fit in during school time or in emergency situations.
Either way, Fair Play OOSH will welcome your child with open arms, and ensure they enjoy the highest-quality OSHC service…one that’s safe, educational, engaging and fun!
Children love Fair Play OOSH as we are always having lots of fun, exciting and stimulating activities to enjoy while always ensuring we have the children planning the programs. After a day at school, it is important for children to have a chance to relax and participate in activities of their choice.
We offer an array of structured, non structured and educational activities every day, including special themed days (or weeks), lots of fun art and craft activities, cooking, drama, sport, science and more. We can even help children with their homework.
We also acknowledge that children need time and space just to ‘be children’, so they are always free to simply make use of our comprehensive range of free-play equipment. There is also always plenty of time spent playing outside, as well as lots of time for sports – either utilising the school’s outside facilities, or indoors in inclement weather.
Our comprehensive play spaces and choices for children vary from service to service, and include…
After a busy day at school, the first thing most children think about is their tummy!
We provide a healthy, tasty and nutritious selection of food for breakfast and afternoon tea. Our menus cater for children with special dietary requirements, including those with allergies or cultural needs, and take into consideration each child’s preferences.
The weekly meal program is created with the help of the children and while being compliant with the NSW regulation.
We don’t want to be the biggest oosh but we want to be the BEST! We invest in our staff for long term retainment by upskilling, offering regular training, offering a work life balance roster and ensuring our staff are heard, listened too and involved in creating a compliant environment for your children.
Families need to feel comfortable with the team members who will be caring for their children. That’s why we take exceptional care when recruiting team members, with our recruitment team meticulously screening all applicants to ensure they are suitably qualified and experienced for a specific role while complying with all laws and regulations.
Afternoon tea is served at 3.30pm and this cost is included in the ASC Care fees. Afternoon tea is a variety of nutritionally balanced snacks, with fruit served daily e.g. pastas, noodles, rice, soups and banana and orange cakes. Water is also available for children at all times. A weekly menu is displayed on the child & family notice board.
Breakfast is provided in BSC at no additional cost, breakfast includes cereal, toasted sandwiches, toast and fruit. Breakfast is available between 7am and 8am. The centre promotes healthy eating. The family information stand has a variety of flyers that may be of use to your family.
Snack times are seen as a social event where children and staff can relax, talk about their day and experience a variety of foods. Staff will demonstrate healthy and hygienic eating habits while with the children.
The children are asked to wash their hands before eating food at the centre. On excursions where hand-washing facilities are not available the staff will provide children with hand wipes. Hand washing is the most important way of controlling infection. Individual plate/napkins, serving tongs are provided for children.
Fair Play OOSH is an ‘nut free’ service. Therefore we ask that families refrain from packing any nuts or nut products in their child’s morning tea and lunches. Upon enrolment we become aware of children’s allergies/intolerances and take precautions needed.
Fair Play OOSH is the leading provider of high-quality out of hours school care services in Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and Hunter Valley. We offer safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn, play, and grow.
