About Our Service
- Morning Club runs from 7.30am until 9am. After School is from 3pm until 6pm.
- We let the Dining Area of Doonfoot Primary School from South Ayrshire Council and generally also have use of the gym hall. Weather permitting, we also utilise the outside area.
- Before they can attend our service, children must be registered which involves completing and returning Registration Form and All About Me form for each child. They cannot attend without this information being provided. Registration costs £25 per child. This is an annual charge for the academic year. If you register by May 28th 2024, a discount of £5 is applied
- Prices are on booking forms and you will note that the cost is less for the second child are as shown below:
Morning Club 1st child £7.50, 2nd child £6.50
After School Pick up 4.30pm – 1st child £12.00; 2nd child £11.00
Pick up 6pm – 1st child £15.50; 2nd child £14.50
- Bookings are made monthly (booking link is sent out at start of previous month) and places are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. If you book by the closing date for each month (shown at the top of the booking form) there are no additional fees. However, if you do not have any bookings made for a particular month and need to book within the month, you must check availability for day via the DASS mobile (07808 869237) and there is a late booking fee of £5. If you have made any bookings by the closing date, we waive the late booking fee for additional bookings added after the closing date but you still must check availability via the DASS mobile.
- If you wish to proceed, you will be added to the Parent email list and will receive booking forms each month which you can submit if/when you require.
- You will be sent an invoice for bookings at the start of the month which is due for immediate payment. The invoice will show that month’s bookings and any adjustments (extra bookings made within the month) from the previous month. Any payments already made, up to the day you receive the invoice, will be shown, as will any outstanding amounts.
- We accept payment by bank transfer. Childcare vouchers (closed now to new entrants) and the new Tax Free Childcare scheme can be used.
- Tax Free Childcare is easy to apply for (20 mins) and means that for every £8 you pay into your tax free childcare account (TFC), the government pays £2.

Once you have a Tax Free Childcare Account, you must reconfirm your details every three months.

Our CARE INSPECTORATE Registration number is CS2003005107
- Children are offered fruit, water or milk at DASS. All other snacks must be provided by parents. The “Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020” has limited what we can offer so much that it is impossible for us to provide a snack. This also allows the prices to remain as they are and reduces food wastage
- Once Registration has been completed, you will receive a Parent Handbook.
- Children should be dropped off and collected from the entrance behind the dining hall. Parents are asked to pass by the main entrance, walk straight on, making their way round to the back of the school, opposite the playing field. There is a caged bin shelter opposite the door we use. Please come to the window, knock or wave and we will see you. If you have a problem, please call us on the DASS phone number: 07808 869237
