BREAKFAST AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUB CANCELLATIONS:

Credit notes will not be issued unless the cancellation request is due to child sickness/injury, which keeps the child away from the club for at least three consecutive sessions. Sickness/injury will need to be validated by a doctor's note. A credit note will be issued for the fourth, and any subsequent sessions that are missed due to the child sickness/injury.

5.LOST PROPERTY

Please ensure that children do not bring valuable toys and belongings with them as we cannot be held responsible if they go missing. We cannot guarantee the return of lost property, but will endeavour to return items on request that we are able to identify. Parents will be required to pay the cost of postage. KOOSA Kids will keep lost property for a period of six weeks only. If it is left unclaimed after this period has expired, KOOSA Kids will distribute the lost property to local charities.

6.PHOTOGRAPHY

From time to time we take photographs at our venues which may be used for marketing and promotional purposes. If you would rather your child was not included in any photographs we must be informed in writing before commencement of your booking.

7.MEDICAL INFORMATION

If you book by telephone we will ask you for relevant medical information, allergies, additional needs and dietary restrictions regarding your child. If you book online the same information is requested at point of registering your child. If full information is not provided this may result in that child being excluded from certain activities, or if it felt necessary, excluded from using KOOSA Kids. In such circumstances no refund or credit will be paid. KOOSA Kids reserve the right to cancel a booking at any time where there has been a failure to provide full information about a child.

8.LATE FEES

KOOSA Kids reserve the right to charge a fee for late collection of any children. If a child/children is collected after the allocated collection time identified on booking, the parent/guardian will be subject to an immediate charge of £8.00 per child. An additional £8.00 will be charged for every half hour that passes, up until collection. If the parent/guardian is unable to pay the late fee at point of collection, it will automatically be added to the relevant account.

9.SAFEGUARDING

KOOSA Kids staff have a duty to respond if they suspect a child in their care may be suffering from abuse, or if a child makes a disclosure about abuse. In this event the relevant staff will follow the Safeguarding Children’s Policy as detailed in our policies and procedures.

10.RATIOS/AGE GROUPS

KOOSA Kids ratio of staff to children normally exceeds all statutory requirements. The actual ratio varies between activities and age groups. KOOSA Kids does not offer any higher staff ratio than 1:8, irrespective of any child’s additional needs unless arranged and agreed previously.

We always endeavour to group children within our advertised age groups, however due to a regulatory requirement to maintain staff to child ratio's, dependant on the actual ages of the children attending on the day, we reserve the right to group children differently to that advertised.
