We will not allow any child, who has not yet reached year 7 at their school, to return home unaccompanied or with an unauthorised adult unless we have authorisation through the parent consents options in the booking form.
The Parents agree to provide to the Holiday Club details of any authorised adult who will be accompanying the Child at sign in/out and to provide up to date contact telephone numbers (home/work/ mobiles) that we can call during the day in the event of an emergency, illness or to check information urgently. Please ensure we have as many contact numbers as possible.
positive role models. In return we have expectations of certain standards of behaviour from children attending the Holiday Club and Activity Courses. This includes:
Clothing and Belongings
c) Listening to and following instructions from staff members.
Due to the nature of the activities, we recommend that children do not wear their best or most expensive clothes as we cannot take responsibility for damage to clothing. For specific wear, please see our Kit List. We cannot guarantee the return of lost property, but we try to return items that are clearly labelled. Lost property will only be carried forward to the next holiday programme when it will be available for collection. Any items not collected will then be disposed of. Mobile devices including phones, tablets and games consoles are not allowed to be brought in any Holiday Club setting or Activity Course. The only exception is when a child is departing unaccompanied and their parent/carer would like them to have a mobile phone with them, in this event, the mobile phone will need to be handed to staff upon arrival for safe storage and will be handed back to the Child on departure. We are always willing to allow a child to contact parents/carers using a College phone if required.
Additional Support We recognise that the needs of individual children vary and that some children may be considered to be vulnerable or have additional needs. We will endeavour to accommodate vulnerable children or children with additional needs within the Holiday Club and Activity Course environment. We are realistic about the limitations of our environment for vulnerable children and children with additional needs and attendance is considered on an individual basis. As above if English is not a child’s first language, then it will be important for us to establish that they at least have an understanding of basic instructions for health and safety purposes. Please contact the Holiday Club and Activity Course team prior to booking to discuss any requirements further and to consider what (if any) arrangements can and need to be put in place. All details of the Child's need s and additional support requirements and MUST be notified at the time of booking by responding with full details in the Child’s profile on our booking system.
Behaviour We set ourselves high standards and expect our staff to act professionally at all times and to present themselves as
a) Showing respect and treating others as they would wish to be treated. b) Showing respect for all personal property and the facilities.
d) Swearing, abusive and hurtful language is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Aggressive behaviour or violence is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. One child's behaviour will not be allowed to endanger other children attending the Holiday Club and/or Activity Courses. Please be aware of these standards and support action taken by staff to encourage good behaviour at the Holiday Club and Activity Courses. Parents must inform us via the booking process of any potential behaviour issues and any associated signs, triggers or strategies that would help us to deal with situations in a positive manner. All children are encouraged and regularly reminded to tell a member of staff as soon as anything happens that causes them upset or distress so that we can address any issue immediately. The Holiday Club and Activity Courses follow a Behaviour Management Policy which includes 4 stages for managing behavioural issues: Stage 1: Reminder – Child/(ren) will be reminded of their behaviour and expectations Stage 2: Verbal Warning – Child(ren) will be reminded again and the Parents/ Carers will be given feedback upon collection
Stage 3: Removal from activity/ environment – Child(ren) will be removed from the activity/environment until they have understood that their behaviour is unacceptable and the reasons why. Stage 4: Challenging behaviour to be dealt with appropriately as above. Incident form will be completed and emailed to parent. Holiday Club Management will arrange a meeting with the Parents/Carers to work together and find a suitable solution which may include the College's right to terminate this agreement with immediate effect. Please note that in these circumstances there will be no refund, reduction or waiver of Fees paid. Should there be a serious behavioural incident involving the Child that in our opinion puts the child or other children at risk, or behaviour that we cannot reasonably control then we will telephone Parents/carers on the emergency numbers we have been given at the time of booking to request immediate
should we consider the need for the child to be collected for any reason during the day.
All children will be covered under our Public Liability Insurance while they are with us.
Immediate challenging behaviour including unwarranted physical contact, bullying, verbal aggression and physical aggression are automatically at Stage 4. If a child feels that they are being subjected to bullying then they are encouraged and regularly reminded to report this to staff members immediately. All reported cases will be dealt with sensitively and fairly and appropriate decisions will be taken in full consultation with all parties.
Swimming
In the event of an accident, first aid will be administered to children by a suitably qualified member of staff and the emergency services will be called if necessary. In the event of a health and safety incident the Holiday Club Health and Safety Policy will apply].
Similarly, we will not tolerate aggressive, threatening or abusive language or behaviour from parents or carers towards staff members. The College reserves the right to terminate this agreement with immediate effect if, in the opinion of the Holiday Club Manager the Parents have behaved unreasonably including but not limited to if they have treated the College or members of staff operating the Holiday Club and Activity Courses or any member of the College community unreasonably or in a way which could otherwise bring the College into disrepute.
Medicine Medicine (both prescription and nonprescription) will only be administered to a child once an Administering Medicine Form has been completed and consent signed by the Parent/carer. Medication must be in-date, clearly labelled and in its original packaging.
Sickness No child will be admitted to the Holiday Club or Activity Course if they are showing any signs of illness or infection on arrival. All children who are ill or infectious should not attend for the full duration of their ailment, and for 48 hours after the last symptom occurs particularly any child who has suffered a bout of diarrhoea or sickness. If you are unsure whether a child may attend, call us on 0117 315 7666 to discuss with the Holiday Club Manager. Parents/carers are ultimately responsible for determining their child’s ability to participate in the activities. While we sympathise with the needs of each parent, we must provide a healthy environment for others and have the right to refuse to admit the Child if it is appropriate to do so. A sick child often needs special, one-to-one attention and it is difficult for staff/tutors to take time away from others to do this. If a child has been given Calpol or other paracetamol medicine before setting out then they should not attend Holiday Club or the Activity Course as they are clearly unwell and our staff are not permitted to administer further doses. The Parents must provide emergency contact telephone numbers that will be answered immediately and if they cannot be contacted in time that a suitable adult is available locally to attend the setting
Swimming is available to children aged 6 and over. Please be aware our 25m indoor swimming pool has a depth ranging from 0.9m to 2.0m. It is not a walk-in style leisure pool and entry/exit is via steps at each corner. If you require further information regarding our swimming sessions then please ask at time of booking. We have a very comprehensive swimming policy, further details of which are available on request. The Parents accept that the Child’s swimming ability is assessed by our staff members on an annual basis with ability tests being reassessed each September. This enables Us to determine which areas of the swimming pool they can use. The information provided by the Parents is used as a guide only. The swim tests/assessments include: Beginner = 1 width of the swimming pool without putting their feet on the floor and showing no signs of distress. Average = 4 widths of the swimming pool and 1 minute of treading water all without putting their feet on the floor and showing no signs of distress. Good = 60 metre swim and 2 minutes of treading water all without putting their feet on the floor and showing no signs of distress. Non-swimmers may enter the swimming pool only if they are wearing one of our swim jackets.
Quality & Safety All information in our brochure and on our website is correct at the time of publication. Changes may occur and, if so, we will advise the Parents via email as quickly as possible. Activity programmes are subject to change in the event of adverse weather and occasionally we may have to cancel a course due to low take up of places. Our Holiday Club and Activity Courses operate in safe and secure environments. With 20 years' experience, we have an exemplary health and safety history and child safety is our priority. Our staff, tutors and coaches are all suitably qualified for the roles they undertake and we operate a comprehensive staff training programme that includes: Health and Safety/ Safeguarding / First Aid / Fire and Evacuation Procedures / Equipment Safety Staff members are appointed following selection procedures that include a personal interview and take up of references. All staff, tutors and coaches complete satisfactory DBS enhanced disclosures.
For children attending from countries outside of the UK, we must establish that they have at least a basic understanding of English if it is not a child’s first language and that they can satisfactorily communicate with us. This is vital for health and safety purposes as well as enjoyment. Our staff members are not fluent in other languages and we do not teach English to children. We therefore expect the Parents to contact the Holiday Club and Activity Course team prior to making any bookings to discuss further and to consider what (if any) arrangements can and need to be put in place. We reserve the right to refuse to admit children to the Holiday Club or Activity Course who are not able to communicate satisfactorily with staff. We will request parents/carers to collect children if we consider them to be at risk due to a lack of understanding of English and in these circumstances booking payments will be refunded. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that no nuts or nut products are used on the College site, however it is not possible to guarantee that this is a nut free environment. We may have children attending who have severe nut allergies and could be such that the slightest contact with nuts could be life threatening. We therefore respectfully ask that NO NUTS are knowingly brought onto the premises. This includes but is not limited to peanut butter, Nutella spread, Pesto, some cereal bars, some granola bars, biscuits/cakes that contain nuts and sauces that contain nuts.
Safeguarding The College's Safeguarding Policy and procedures will apply to the Holiday Club and Activity Courses. If the Parents or have any concerns about a child or in connection with the operation of the Holiday Club and/or Activity Courses, the Parents they are required to contact the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead who will escalate matters in accordance with the College's Safeguarding Policy and procedures. The Parents will ensure the Child knows who to contact at the Holiday Club and Activity Courses in the event the Child has a safeguarding concern.
Equal Opportunities The Holiday Club and Activity Courses welcome all children, regardless of their sex, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, disability and pregnancy or
maternity (if applicable). Each child attending is of equal value and is entitled to equal access of opportunity. Education and understanding of other people’s need and backgrounds will be fostered to promote positive behaviour and attitudes. Discriminating behaviour, attitudes and comments will not be tolerated and be challenged. We will regularly review our policy and amend it where necessary.
Complaints Our staff team are trained to process your comments and pass them on to the appropriate individual who will endeavour to respond within 24 hours. All complaints, however serious, should always be referred to the Holiday Club Manager. If this route of communication is not appropriate then please contact the Commercial Operations Manager on 0117 315 7668. If necessary, complaints will be further investigated and a verbal or written reply will be returned to the complainant within 7 working days. A record of complaints is maintained. Full details will be recorded on our database including any subsequent details, action taken and whether the complaint is complete. Where appropriate, any investigations will be undertaken in accordance with the principle that the welfare of the Child is safeguarded and promoted. If the complainant considers the response to be unsatisfactory then they will be asked to put all details in writing so that further consideration can be given and a written response provided within 28 days detailing investigation findings and action taken. If an external agency investigates, we will consult on how to proceed and the complainant informed of progress.
For children and young people from Reception – Year 8

Sun Hats and Sun Cream We recommend that all children bring a sun hat/cap for protection against the sun. Sun cream, in a named plastic bag, can also be brought and given to the registration staff on arrival. Holiday Club and Activity Courses staff will assist younger children to apply sun cream and holder children will be reminded to apply their own sun cream at regular intervals. For younger children, we will help to apply their cream as required, unless we are told otherwise at the time of booking.
Photography Please be aware that we occasionally authorise photographs/videos of children for our promotional material including our website, official displays and publication in future brochures.
