Our terms and conditions
Parents/carers will need to complete a booking form to request a place for their child / children at Early Birds and/or Night Owls. There will be two separate forms – one for each club. Forms are available on request (see contact details below).
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and any late requests will be queued in the order received and allocated as and when places become available. However, places will be prioritised for parents/carers who have previously used the Outer School provision and/or the school’s current breakfast club provision. Priority will only apply for on-time requests.
Bookings will be made on a half-term by half-term basis (on the same terms as above). Forms will be issued at least four school weeks before the next half-term is due to start.
We appreciate that childcare provision may be needed on an ad hoc or emergency basis. In these circumstances please contact Mrs Hanson, the Business Manager, to discuss your requirements / situation.
The fee structure is as follows:
Early Birds club 7:30-9:00
Fee Rate 1 - 8:00-9:00 - £4.40
Fee Rate 2 - 7:30-9:00 - £6.60
Night Owls club 3:30-6:00
Fee Rate 1 - 3:30-4:30 - £4.40
Fee Rate 2 - 3:30-5:30 - £8.80

Payment of fees for Early Birds and Night Owls will be made via ParentPay. If fees are to be paid via a childcare voucher scheme or the government’s tax-free childcare scheme please contact Mrs Hanson to discuss.
In line with standard practice once sessions are booked they are non-refundable if a session is cancelled within 24 hours or your child does not attend. If the school has to cancel a session then this will be refunded in full by a credit being applied.
Children will be signed in and out for each club. For safeguarding reasons it is vitally important that the school is informed if children are not attending a booked session.
