Cancellations – Term Time

All children are allocated set days as per application. All cancellation to these days are subject to full payment. Children requiring to change their days may do so by discussing your need with the Manager who will look at availability. If there is no availability for your needs your child may go on the waiting list for the required days.

All cancellations on holidays and In Service days are subject to the full fee for that day.

Once a booking is made it can only be changed in extreme circumstances once discussed with the Manager. The changing of days that have been booked is subject to availability and staff ratios.

College/University Payments

When using Peelers out with College/University term or out with agreed days for College/University funding, payment must be made by the parent/guardian.

Late Payment of Fees

A letter will be issued after the first week of non-payment. If payment has not been received by the end of the second week the children concerned will be dismissed from the Club until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.

When all debts have been cleared, should you wish to reuse the Club you will be required to re-register and pay a registration fee.

Recovery of Debt

If fees are not paid to the Club the debt may be passed to a debt collection agency or to the Small Claims Court. This could result in a County Court Judgement.
