Priority Bookings

How does the Priority List work?

People go on the priority list for bookings if their child has attended after-school groups during the last term. This allows them a period of booking before we open up bookings to our other clients.

We notify all priority clients in advance by email of the date and time that the bookings will be open from.  It is then the client's responsibility to ensure that they make bookings during the priority period, and we cannot guarantee spaces if not.

The priority list is divided into 2 groups.

1.      Priority Group 1 –

These are existing priority clients who are willing to commit to the full year (September - July).  Ideally, your first choice of space should be the same day and time that your child was attending for the previous term, and if there are too many requests for a session, priority will be given to those already attending that session.  However, if when making the yearly booking, your child needs to move up a group or to change day, we will work together to find a suitable space. 

Once the yearly booking has been made we cannot guarantee to accommodate any requests for changes during the year, but we will try.

Payment for the year is non-refundable but we will take into account exceptional circumstances.

2. Priority group 2 –

The remainder of the priority list i.e. those who choose not to commit to a full year of lessons, are in this group.  You will still get priority if your child attended during the last term, but can only re-book for the slot that your child had previously held.

You cannot book for a different day/time - if you do, the booking may not be honoured and your child may lose their space entirely.  If your child needs to change age group from one term to another, and if spaces are available, we will work together to try to find a suitable place.

People on the priority list are still able to book for other children as long as the children are also part of the priority list.  If you do book children who are not on the priority list, they will lose their place if priority juniors need the space.
