• We can occasionally accept last minute requests but these are subject to space being available and a flat fee of £7 regardless of session required. Payment is required upon collection of children.
• If there is any chance you may be late, you must make other arrangements for your child/children to be collected as penalty charges will be applied automatically and will not be waived by staff.
• Children have choices in activities including computers, homework, reading, colouring, board games and outside play (weather permitting).
