Staffing and Procedures at departure time

Collection

Children MUST be picked up on time. If there are reasons beyond your control which will make you late, then every effort must be made to contact Pre-school to inform us of the situation.  

Late collections are charged at £5 for each 15 minute period after the first 5 minutes.  One late collection per term is accepted as unavoidable and will not be charged.

All incidents of late collection will be recorded.
