Our terms and conditions
-
Parents/carers will need to complete a booking form to request a place for their child / children at Early Birds and/or Night Owls. There will be two separate forms – one for each club. Forms are available on request (see contact details below).
-
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and any late requests will be queued in the order received and allocated as and when places become available. However, places will be prioritised for parents/carers who have previously used the Outer School provision and/or the school’s current breakfast club provision. Priority will only apply for on-time requests.
-
Bookings will be made on a half-term by half-term basis (on the same terms as above). Forms will be issued at least four school weeks before the next half-term is due to start.
-
We appreciate that childcare provision may be needed on an ad hoc or emergency basis. In these circumstances please contact Mrs Hanson, the Business Manager, to discuss your requirements / situation.

In line with standard practice once sessions are booked they are non-refundable if a session is cancelled within 24 hours or your child does not attend. If the school has to cancel a session then this will be refunded in full by a credit being applied.
-
Children will be signed in and out for each club. For safeguarding reasons it is vitally important that the school is informed if children are not attending a booked session.
