Once you book your childs place it is held and secured for them for the duration of the term and cannot be offered to any other child! Requests for a refund for classes or bookings will not be facilitated.

Club policy allows for attendance at alternative class days: On those rare occurrences when classes are cancelled by the club and if the club is unable to run a class due to reasons that are out of our control such as national weather warnings, flooding, blocked access to the club, external damage due to weather etc, and also on those occasions when your child is unable to attend their regular class due to illness or injury we offer attendance on an alternative day so as to receive the full quota of classes each term.
