Q: Pupil Premium Funding?

Before Registering for a place and you know you can receieve PP funding, You MUST: • Have confirmed with your school office that your place can be funded, for how long the funding will last, and if funding will cover the full amount or a portion of the cost. • Please add a note about PP funding in the additional message box within the registration form. Same rules apply – register and we will add you to the list in order, as above. PP funded places are the same as other places but we just invoice the school for the cost. We are fully setup to handle the PP payments with the schools and the trusts.

Q: What should my child wear to the club?

We initially used to request The Art Bees attend the club with a loose baggy old t-shirt to wear. However this naturally declined as it became one of those extra things a parent needed to remember. You are welcome to pack your child with an old loose fitting t-shirt if you wish, or an apron if they have one… However, we gradually saved our pennies and now we do have Art Bee Aprons which we provide now, usually for if things might get messy.

Q: Collecting my child and what if I am late?

The adult contact details in the form will serve as contact info for us to use in event of emergency or late pickup. Please also use the message box to add any extra info for when other people may be collecting your Art Bee from the club, or just email or message Emily if the pickup person changes, prior to the club starting. Late Collections As per the Registration Terms and Conditions (on the booking form page) you agree to pay any late collection fees to The Art Bee as charged. We really do hope to avoid this… If we incur additional costs from our own childcare arrangements due to your late collection then we will pass this cost onto you. Emily and Emma are both mums who also needs to dash away after running each club to collect their own children ~ so we know what it is like from both sides. We get it – a once in a while occasion we will hope not to not charge. But repeated late collections will incur a fee.

Q: Rebooking the following term?

No need. If you have a place then that place is yours until you no longer need it. Just please do let us know if you no longer need it so we can offer the place to our reserve lists – remember, you agreed upon registration to provide One Half-Term Advance Notice to cancel your place. Thank you.

Q: How do I Cancel my place - I no longer need it?

We will be very sad to see you go …but it will mean another young Art Bee can be offered the place… So thank you for letting us know Once again note that we operate a model of you giving one half terms advance notice. to cancel your secured place.
