Arrival and Departure

The Centre’s opening hours are from 9.30am to 3.00pm on Thursdays and Fridays. Children may attend either days or both days (providing space is available on the requested days). Attendance is not compulsory and it is at the discretion of the family what time children attend within that period.

It is recommended that children arrive as promptly as possible so they can settle in and attend the Opening Circle at 10am

At 2.30pm we will have a tidy up session and Closing Circle, ready for the end of the day at 3pm. Please collect you child/children promptly and, if for any reason you know you are going to be late please contact us.

There will be a self-sign in register for children/parents to complete on arrival and on departure.

In accordance with the Safeguarding Policy children will not be released to an unknown adult so we need to be notified via our Centre System (Cheqdin), if someone different will be collecting your child/children.
Trial Period

Children may attend up to 2 consecutive sessions to ascertain whether the Centre is suitable for them. This also gives the Adults an opportunity to see if your child will be comfortable at the Centre. The first trial sessions are Thursday 26th and Friday 27th September.

If any party considers that the Centre is not a suitable, our mutual commitment ends here and there is no obligation to complete all the second trial session. In this case a refund will be given for the second trial session.

If, the Centre and the child appear to be a good match, we will continue with the enrolment process. This decision will be made at the end of the trial sessions.

After the trial, assuming that your child/children want to join us the start date will generally be the first session of the month.
Fees

Fees are:

£20 yearly registration fee

£25 per session. There is a 20% discount for session fees if you have a Carer's Passport.

There are only 15 places available so if there are no places available and you wish to secure a place on the waiting list the registration fee is required. If there are places available then a payment for each trial (plus the registration fee, if it has not already been paid) becomes payable.

When you agree to continue with your child's/children's place/s, we will calculate how much is due for the sessions you have book for your child/children and we will invoice you. This amount needs to be paid at least 48 hours before the 1st of the month. This will continue until your child/children stops coming to the Centre.

If payment is not received then your child/children will not be able to attend. However if you have problems with payment please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the situation as we may be able to help.
