Key information to help everything run smoothly

🛴 Collections & Transport 

I will walk the children being collected to the school gates after the class. Please note that we will not have the opportunity to collect scooters or bicycles beforehand! 

🍎 Snacks 

In my experience, an easy to eat, healthy (nut free!) snack before the start of the class helps children maintain their focus. Snack time is limited, so it’s helpful if portions are kept small. 

👕 Clothing 

Aprons are available for children to wear, though on very hot days they might choose not to. As we sometimes work with materials that can be a little messy, it’s best if your child wears clothes that you’re comfortable getting the occasional paint splatter on - perhaps an older set of school uniform. 

📱 Communication 

For urgent messages on the day (e.g. illness or absence), please send an SMS or WhatsApp message to 074 2927 6631. 

❌  If You Need to Cancel your Child's Place 

If I am able to allocate your child’s place to someone from a waiting list, a full refund will be given less a 10% fee to cover admin costs. If I am unable to fill your child’s place, I will be unable to offer any refund. Class sizes are kept small to benefit children’s learning, and so it is not viable to refund places which are left unfilled. The more notice I receive, the more chance there will be of re-allocating a vacant place. 

🛑  If I Need to Cancel a Class 

Every effort will be made to ensure a class is never cancelled. In the unlikely event that I need to cancel a class, as much notice as possible will be given (using the email address I hold for you) and an extra class will be scheduled to make up for the missed class. If this is not suitable for any reason, a full refund will be given for the missed class.

🔒 Use of Personal Data 

I will use your personal details to stay in contact with you. Your contact details will not be used for anything else or shared with anyone else. 

😊  Behaviour

If your child is not settling in the class - e.g. constantly looks sad; not engaging with the projects; behaving in a way that affects the learning of other children in the class - I will inform you, and we can discuss what can be done to improve the situation. In the event that the situation does not improve, you may be asked to withdraw your child from the classes. The interests of the class as a whole must be considered.

🚨  Important 

If your child has any allergies, health conditions, or additional learning needs, please let us know in advance. I want to ensure your child feels safe, comfortable, and included.
