Membership

We require one full working day (24 hrs) notice if you wish to cancel a booking, since this will avoid us having to pay extra staff unnecessarily. We may have to charge for the booking if less notice is given.

Please note that it is not enough to have your child or another child cancel a booking for you, parents must either phone or write to the Club themselves. If you or your child is ill and you provide a written note to that effect you will not be charged for the booking.

Bookings can be made by calling the Club on 07875 711827 This phone has a 24-hour answering service on which you can leave a message. If you wish to speak to a member of staff, please telephone during club opening hours.

Bookings should be made if possible with two full working days’ notice.This is to ensure the correct staff ratio can be applied. The Play Leader must have advance notice in order that adequate cover is provided for extra bookings. Bookings will not be taken less than 24 hours in advance.

If you know that you will need us on the same days each week you can make a permanent booking with us to ensure your place is always there.

Places are allocated in accordance with the Club Admissions Policy.

If you require the Club on a Monday, the booking must be made by 6pm on the previous Friday.

Parents must register their children with the Club before they can attend. The registration form is contained within this pack. If there is no form or you require an additional one, please contact our Play Leader who will send one to you. These forms do ask for a lot of information, all of which will be kept confidential, and we would ask that you take the time to fill them out in full. If the staff are aware of all you child’s needs it will help them settle your child into the Club more quickly and effectively. It will also help us contact you should we need to, and for this reason we would ask that you keep us updated of any changes to relevant details.

In addition, each family is required to pay an annual membership fee when registering their child/children. This is currently ￡12 per family. If you are a taxpayer, the Club can reclaim tax on your membership fee. All that is needed is for you to complete the enclosed Gift Aid Declaration and return it with your membership fee. Please therefore take time to read and complete this important document as it provides a valuable boost to Club funds.

How Much Will It Cost?

The membership fee, payable at registration, is ￡12 per family per year.

After School

Each session costs ￡8/child. Regular users will be billed in advance. At the end of each month any shortfall between what has been paid and the amount due will be added to the advanced bill for the following month. Any excess paid will be deducted.

Occasional users will be asked to pay per session in advance or on the day of using the club.

Holidays & In Service Days

￡18 for a full day (over 51/2 hours), reduced to ￡15/full day if the whole week is booked

￡12 for a half day (up to 51/2 hours)

Places are allocated on a first come first served basis with priority in the first instance given to children attending Cleish School. The fees are set annually at the Annual General Meeting.

Failure to collect children at the arranged time will result in extra charges being made to cover the additional session time.

If parents / guardians are unable to collect their children by the pre-arranged time, then alternative arrangements must be made for their collection prior to the closure of the Club at 6.00pm.

What Happens at the end of a Session?

Children must be collected promptly at the agreed time by a person who has been authorised by the parent/carer to collect the child, and signed out. Children must be collected by a responsible adult, aged 16+. Staff should be informed in writing of any changes regarding collection, otherwise you or your emergency contact will be called to verify arrangements.
