Emergency contact

A parent or guardian must give a contact number which they are always contactable on, in case of an emergency.

Children who require additional support or who have accessible needs

• If your child requires any additional support or has accessible needs, please call the relevant centre before or when you book, so we can make sure the course is suitable.
• If your child requires one-to-one care, we ask that a parent or carer is present for the whole session. Carers can attend for free, and will need to book onto the same session with their child. This is to ensure we have the correct ratios of adults to children.
