Vacation Care services provide care to primary school aged children during the NSW gazetted school holiday periods.
Our Vacation Care services are licensed by the Department of Education under the Education and Care Services National Regulation, comply with the National Standards for Outside School Hours Care, and participate in the National Quality Standard Assessment & Rating Process.

From July 2023, the Vacation Care program will operate from Chatswood Pavilion, at Chatswood Oval Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. There will be a combination of excursions and in centre activities and operating hours will remain the same.
Due to COVID and subsequent changes in working patterns, demand for programs such as Vacation Care has declined. The early childhood sector has also suffered from staff shortages, and our After School Care and Long Day Care services have all been impacted by the shortages.
We wish to ensure a continuity of services, whilst being in a position to adequately staff our services; therefore, have taken the decision for 2023/24 that we will operate one Vacation Care program, with reduced days.
Please note: Willoughby City Council Children’s Services Annual Staff Development Day is held each year on the first Monday after the NSW gazetted July school holidays. All Council operated child care centres will be CLOSED on this day.
