Changes to Booking Days

While we hope that your child/children will be happy and content with us we recognise that the booking may be subject to changes.  Changes to booking days can only be made at the start of each term.  Notice of changes must be given to the Manager prior to the end of the previous term.  This must be in writing.  Changes cannot be made during a fixed period of half term.

Whilst we understand that some parents work shift patterns this can only be accommodated if we have prior notice at the end of each term. 

Emergency Places

Can only be accepted in exceptional circumstances.  Fun Times Activity Club can only provide emergency places for children who are already registered with the Club.

Registration

You must hand over your child to Fun Times Activity Club Staff and sign them in on the daily register at breakfast club to ensure their safety and for us to take over responsibility for your child.

Your child will be handed over to the school staff at the end of breakfast club.  If your child attends any extra-curricular activities we will collect them from this.

Child Pickup

At the end of the school day the infant children will be collected from their classrooms.  Junior children will walk from their classes to the After School room.

The children must be collected from club prior to closing time ie by 5.45pm at the latest.

If you know you are going to be late you must telephone the Manager to inform her and they will let your child know.

Due to the nature of leasing agreements staff and children must wait outside the premises after operating hours.

Health

In the event of your child feeling ill we will contact you or your emergency contact numbers to arrange collection.

In the event of an emergency situation occurring we would telephone an ambulance and your child may be taken to hospital for treatment.  We will contact you as soon as possible in this situation.

By enrolling your child, you consent to your child being given First Aid in the event of an accident.

Rules and Behaviour

The children will be encouraged to develop the Club rules for the setting which will be based on British values, kind hands, words and feet.  Your child will have the rules of the setting explained to them when they start.  You will be required to ensure that your child/children adhere to these rules for the setting.
