Safe

Family day care is a well established mode of child care which is governed by a set of National Standards administered by the National Child Care Accreditation Council.

Re-accredited in 2010, parents can be assured that Bambini is at the forefront of safety and best practices for home based child care.

Approved

Bambini provides “approved care” which can entitle users to child care benefit (CCB) as well as the 50% child care rebate.  Bambini manage and process all Child Care Benefit claims on behalf of the parent via the Governments Child Care Management System.

Fees set by educators vary but on average range from $6 - $10 per hour.

Parents should consult the Family Assistance Office (www.familyassist.gov.au) for details of their specific entitlements to CCB. Further information on the 50% child care rebate is available from the Australian Taxation Office (www.ato.gov.au).
