Fees and sessions
When choosing sessions for your child we would recommend two as a minimum, as we have found that this provides the continuity needed for settling your child into a routine. We try to be as flexible as possible with our session times and appreciate that many of our parents have school drop offs and collections that coincide with these. If, because of this, you have difficulties, please speak to a member of staff as we usually can accommodate your requirements. If having arranged a session time with us, you find that you are not going to collect your child on time then please ring us. Late collection makes it difficult for the staff and compromises our staffing ratio responsibilities. Regular late collection will result in additional costs for you and this will be charged at your booking rate. If you would like to arrange extra sessions as a one off, or extend your child’s time with us, then please speak to the manager.
