Please don’t allow your child to bring in phones or other electronics - if they are brought in they will need to be switched off and kept in the child’s bag.

Swimming is available for all children at Holiday Club from Reception year and above on all days except Friday. Swimming option is subject to there being no maintenance requirements and is weather dependant. Please provide your child with a towel, swimming costume, crocs/flip-flops for reception children and swimming aids as appropriate if you would like them to join a swim session.

We recognise that both staff and children are vulnerable to infections/illness and therefore ask parents/carers to refrain from bringing their children when they are unwell. We operate within the guidance on infection control in schools and other childcare settings provided by the Health Protection Agency.

We require written consent to administer any medication.  If your child requires prescribed medication it is recommended that you obtain a spare inhaler/epipen/Piriton etc. so that one can remain on site with us. If your child requires medication and they do not bring it with them you may be refused entry – your child’s safety is our paramount concern.

First aid is always administered by a qualified first aider, who will decide the most appropriate course of action. A written accident report will be available to the parent on collection. Should a child need to go to hospital their parents will be immediately contacted. An escort will be provided if the parents are unable to get to the club.

All children will be signed and timed in and out on a register. Children may be collected at any time during the session. Children may only be collected by a nominated person otherwise it is vital that you let the club know if a different person is to collect.

All concerns should be made to the Club Manager or directly to Claires Court. If you wish to take matters further, please visit the School's Complaint Procedure for further guidance.

Claires Court has detailed policies and procedures in accordance with ISA standards, which are available to all parents. Please ask if you wish to see them or have copies emailed to you.
