Your child requires:

• A packed lunch each day (please ensure that this contains suitable products to remain cool as LANES have no storage or chilling facilities on site).

• Appropriate clothing for activities (according to timetable)

• Suitable footwear for activities (no Crocs or Flip Flops)

• Appropriate clothing for the weather conditions (waterproof coat/sun hat)

 

The daily rate for the Autumn half-term Programme is £20.00. Half-day sessions are also available and will be charged at £10.00 per session. Cancellations to bookings / non-attendance will be charged at the full daily rate once the programme starts. Changes to bookings / swapping days cannot be guaranteed and will incur an administration charge of £10.00 on each occasion.

 

Autumn half-term Programme fees are payable in advance. Invoices are issued once a booking form has been received. Payments must be paid 15 days in advance of your child’s first attendance. Children may be excluded the programme if payment has not been made or is overdue.

 

Cheques should be made payable to LANES. Returned cheques will incur a £25.00 charge. Payment can also be made directly into the LANES bank account - please email lanes.education@gmail.com for details/payment queries.

 

We adhere to strict child/staff ratios, it is therefore important that you do not arrive earlier than the starting time or later than the finishing times of 8am and 4pm. Should you arrive later than the finishing time you will be charged at a rate of £10.00 per 15 minutes. Exceptional circumstances will, of course, be taken into consideration.

 

If you are not collecting your child personally from LANES, it is essential that staff are made aware of the person that you have authorised to do so in your absence. Only persons identified on booking forms are able to collect your child. A password system is used and we will not allow­ children to leave with anyone who has not been made familiar to staff. 

 

It is extremely important that you inform us of any alterations to telephone numbers, contact details or any other changes which occur during your child’s time at LANES.

 

Prescribed medicine which is clearly labelled for your child can be administered by a member of staff during the LANES day and, once handed over, will be stored appropriately. Parents sign daily or weekly medicine forms to authorise staff to administer the prescribed dosage. At the end of the day you will be requested to sign to confirm that you have been informed of dosage and times administered.

 

In addition, should your child develop a high temperature whilst at LANES, with your prior consent, we are able to administer a single dose of Calpol or other analgesic that you provide. If your child’s state of health does not improve you will be asked to collect them from LANES, preferably within one hour.

 

Our Sickness and Illness Policy guidelines will be emailed along with Timetables and Policies and Procedures two days before the start of the Programme.

 

Please discourage your child from bringing, mobile phones, iPods, Nintendo DS, toys or games to LANES, as we cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss to these items.
