We know plans can change and that’s why we offer you a choice of flexibility with your booking. You can book one of two products; a Flex or Non-Flex option. Please choose the right level of flexibility for you.
If you book our Flex option (just £4 per day) you can change your dates or cancel right up until the last working day before your child’s first day at camp in the week. Plus, if your child is ill and can’t attend, we’ll make up the days or refund you, your choice. In order to process a refund, please complete a refund request form with a few further details and email -
With our Non-Flex option, you can book now knowing that you can still make changes to your booking up to 21 days before your booking starts. This booking option is non-refundable. See full details of our Flex and Non-Flex options here and read our Terms & Conditions for a full understanding.
With our Non-Flex option, you can still make changes to the dates on your booking (within the same season) up to 21 days before your child is due to attend. This type of booking cannot be cancelled and is non-refundable. See full Terms and Conditions.
Please note: If we're unable to operate your camp week due to COVID-19, we will move your booking to another week during that holiday, or to another season in the year. Where this isn’t possible, we’ll give a credit note to use with us another time, or we’ll offer you a full refund.
We understand that your childcare plans can change and that’s why we offer our Flex and Non-Flex booking options. If you want complete flexibility to change your booking later, our Flex option would be best suited to you. This allows you to amend your booking up to the last working day before your child’s first day at camp in the week plus, allows for amendments or a refund due to illness.
With our Non-Flex option, you can still change dates (within the same season) up to 21 days before your child is due to attend, but the booking cannot be cancelled and is non-refundable.
