Campus & Routine FAQs

Everything you need to know about the school day.

What are the operating hours for Linden and Olivedale?

Both campuses follow the same operating hours: we open at 06:30 for early arrivals and close promptly at 18:00. This ensures maximum flexibility for working parents at both locations.

What is the latest drop-off time allowed?

To ensure your child doesn’t miss out on vital social and learning time, we ask that all students are dropped off by 08:15. This allows them to finish breakfast and settle in for the Morning Ring at 08:30.

How does collection work for half-day students?

Half-day students are ready for collection at 12:45, immediately following lunch and story time. This ensures they complete the full educational curriculum before heading home.

Can I pick my child up early during full-day aftercare?

Yes, full-day students can be collected anytime during the afternoon. However, we recommend avoiding the 13:00 – 14:00 nap window to ensure all children have a peaceful and restorative rest period.
