🔐 Fob Responsibility Reminder! 🔐

Parents, please remember: You are responsible for the sole usage of your child’s fobs! These fobs should never be kept by the Childcare Centre. Keeping them on hand is important, as leaving the fobs at the Centre could result in your child's application being suspended. ❌

This policy helps us ensure compliance with the Free Childcare Scheme’s regulations and prevents misuse of the system. Let’s work together to keep things running smoothly! 💚

🎉 What is a Fob? 🎉

Once your Free Childcare Scheme application is approved, your chosen Childcare Centre will assign you TWO GREEN key fobs, linked to your child’s profile. These fobs are essential for logging your child's attendance at drop-off and pick-up times. ⏳

By using these fobs, we ensure your child's participation in the scheme is accurately tracked. This means their absence entitlement is safeguarded and won’t run out unnecessarily! 💡

Keep your fobs handy and make every check-in count! 💚🔑
