• a tasty, healthy and nutritious breakfast menu including: cereal, toast with butter and jam, fruit, yoghurts, crumpets, pancakes, milk and fruit juice.

Registration

Only children for whom a Registration Form has been completed may attend the Breakfast Club.  However, the school recognises that parents/carers may require before school childcare at short notice. In these circumstances, children will be able to attend Breakfast Club as long as payment is made on the same day.

Payment of Fees and Cancellation

The cost will be £6.00 per child per session, the price includes breakfast. Payment must be made in advance using the school's online payment system. Cash or cheque payments will not be accepted.  Parents will not be permitted to accrue any debt.  No refunds will be given but payment can be carried over where a child has been absent due to sickness or the club has been cancelled (e.g. due to bad weather). In the event of unforeseen school closure, any payment made will be carried forward. Parents will be given a notice period of one month of any change in fees.

General Conditions

 A child must not be sent to Breakfast Club if unwell.

The school reserves the right to refuse admission to the club for any pupil with poor behaviour.

We also reserve the right to contact parents and ask them to come and collect their child if necessary. There will be no refund in these circumstances.

It is the responsibility of parents/carers to bring their child to the hall via the front waiting area and hand them over personally (not dropping them at the school gate) to sign them in. Absent children will only be followed up at the start of the school day in accordance with our normal registration procedures.

School staff will be driving onto the school premises whilst the Breakfast Club is in operation. The pedestrian gate will be open; parents and children must use the footpath and take care when crossing the drive. Parents are not able to drive onto school premises and should park appropriately and considerately on the road outside the school.

Any special dietary requirements (e.g. due to allergies or religious/cultural beliefs) must be notified in advance on the Registration Form. The Breakfast Club will not be responsible for anything happening where allergies or relevant medical conditions have not been declared. We will try to accommodate individual needs but this may not always be possible.

All reported accidents will be documented in an accident book. Staff will administer basic First Aid and if necessary contact the emergency services. They will refer to emergency contact details held on the admission form for the Breakfast Club and our normal procedures for notifying parents in the event of an accident/incident will be followed.

Bishop Ridley Breakfast Club will not be liable for loss or damage to property brought onto the premises by parent/carer or child.
