Complete the registration-of-interest form on this page or contact our team directly. We'll get in touch with enrolment documentation and all the details you need.

What is the OSCAR Subsidy and how do I access it?

The OSCAR Subsidy is a financial contribution available through Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) to help eligible families with the cost of out-of-school care. Eligibility depends on your family circumstances. Please contact Work and Income directly to check whether you qualify.

What if my child can't attend on a booked day?

Please notify your location coordinator as early as possible if your child will be absent. Our absence notification and fee policy will be confirmed in your enrolment documentation.

Yes — casual bookings are available subject to space at each location. Casual fees apply (see the Programmes page for indicative fees). We recommend booking ahead where possible.

Only adults you have nominated as authorised on your enrolment form may collect your child. Our team verifies identity at collection. Please keep your authorised-pickup list up to date.

What happens if I'm late collecting my child?

A late-collection fee applies after the programme's closing time. Please contact your location coordinator for details.

What is your behaviour management approach?

We use positive, restorative behaviour approaches. Our team supports children to understand expectations and resolve disagreements constructively. Serious or persistent concerns are communicated to parents promptly.

Can children with additional needs attend AfterBell Adventures?

AfterBell Adventures is committed to inclusive practice. We welcome children with a range of needs and interests, and will work with families to discuss how we can best support their child. Please speak with us before enrolment so we can prepare appropriately.
