Baby-Sitting Service
DMHDRU On-Site Baby-sitting Service
We are pleased to offer you free onsite childcare for this phase. This means that you have the opportunity to have your child/ren cared for in the building while you are involved in the assessment. The service involves:
- Trained staff working with a maximum of four children
- Fully equipped playroom with supervised fun and educational activities available (art activities, music, stories, block play, a computer, playdough and messy play etc)
- Sleeping and changing facilities
- Meals for your child (however, if they are still bottle fed you will need to supply expressed milk or formula)
You are welcome to join your child/ren for lunch
At this stage, we are planning to offer this service only on FRIDAYS, so if you require childcare, please book your assessment day for a Friday. However, we may review this depending on demand for the service. Please remember your assessment day starts at 8:25am so allow yourself time before that to settle your child/ren for their day at the Unit playroom.
Please bring for your child a named bag containing:
- Extra nappies (if they are still wearing them)
- A spare set of clothes, including a jacket and sunhat (for wee outings)
- Any special comfort requirements they have (cuddlies, special toys, dummy etc)
- If your child still takes a bottle please bring their bottle(s) with formula or breastmilk as required.
- Any special food they may require (we provide healthy snacks for morning and afternoon tea and a lunch meal)
- Any medication your child is prescribed (named and labelled)
