By submitting The Art Bee Club Registration Form You & The Art Bee agree to the following terms and conditions.
By registering for, or having a place in The Art Bee Club you therefore agree to these terms regardless of any prior version or changes made since registering.
These terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
You The adult whos details are submitted in the registration Form
The Art Bee Emily Ridgway and any person acting on behalf of The Art Bee.
Your place in the club or on the reserve list is yours until you no longer need it.
The Art Bee will securely hold your place for you (once you have a place).
Note that this does mean we are holding your place, resourcing for this place. Therefore there is a one half-terms advance notice required from you to cancel your place. This provides you, us, and the future art bee on the reserve list time to plan for the change.
We will keep you on the reserve list, until you leave the school (based on year group).
I agree to pay the full amount due for the next half term before the first session of the half term.
I understand that The Art Bee are holding my place secure for me and cannot refund any weeks that my child has missed, regardless of the reason.
I acknowledge they have already resourced materials for the place I registered for.
I will collect my child promptly from the club, and I agree to pay any late collection fees levied by the Art Bee due to my late pickup.
We do hope to avoid charging late collection fees but will apply them if required.
🫶 We are both Mums of young children and we understand! Let us know if you are running late…
If we incur charges from our own child care arrangements then we will pass these on to you if the reason for our fees relates to your late collections. We have responsibilities straight after the club too.
We will also add a late collection fee for repeatedly late collections.
The amount will be worked out in 15 minute blocks at half a session cost per each 15 minute block started.
Notice Period
One Full Half-Term Notice Period
Letting us know you no longer need your place in advance
When I no longer need my place I will inform The Art Bee one full half-term in advance.
⚠️ I agree that if I fail to inform The Art Bee that I longer need a place in advance that I am liable to pay for the full half-term, wether attended or not.
⚠️ I understand that it is not an option to simply leave the club without giving the prior notice stated.
I also understand that my place is being securely held for me and planning and resourcing takes place based off known attendance numbers. Failing to give notice is also unfair on Art Bees on the reserve list, not giving them time to plan ahead for potentially joining the club in my place.
🙏
We do ask that you please let us know as soon as you know you no longer need your place.
We have many eager young Art Bees waiting for a space and an empty place is a waste.
Due to the administration costs involved with chasing late payments a fee will be added to the due balance. We will remind about such fees in other correspondence with our art bees aiming to prevent wasted time and wasted places as the clubs are extremely popular.
The additional fees will increase at half a session cost per each unpaid session, attended or not. This is subject to change without prior notice.
⚾️ After 3 unpaid sessions we reserve the right to offer the place to the next on the reserve list. In this event you could lose your place AND the balance for that half term + additional fees is still due and will be sought.
🫶 Let us know if there is any payment issue, we promise to help if we can. We know what it is like to fund additional activities for the benefit our children and we really will halp if we can.
If The Art Bee is unable to run a club for any reason then we will:
- Give as much advance notice as possible.
- We will endeavor to credit a session back to you in a following term where possible.
This will be in the form of a discount on the next half terms payment, but is subject to The Art Bee discretion. The Art Bee decision will be final.
When to book and when not to book The Art Bee Club and when we will refuse a place.
Our mission is to ignite creativity and get all of our Art Bees being hands on with art and design, we will nurture all our Art Bees to the best of our abilities. We know from experience the benefits art and crafts can have for all people and children, especially where other difficulties may exist, art can bring focus, relaxation, time to think.
Please do not book The Art Bee Club 'just for childcare’.
In our experience this is not a great result for your child who will be in a club of no interest to them, with club mates who are enjoying the activities which they have no interest in. This is disruptive and unfair for everyone.
If your child loves art – they most definitely should attend!
This is nothing to do with ability. Everyone is welcome and will be helped along their own creative journey to the best of our abilities.
If we find ourselves unable to dedicate enough time to children who are repeatedly disruptive in the club we will respectfully ask that you find alternative arrangements for your childs after school club. We will refund any outstanding sessions and offer the place to the next on the reserve list.
Likewise, we hope to be told if a place is not suitable for your child or they are not enjoying their time with us; please tell us, we are very experienced class teachers and are confident that we should be able to help.
For whatever the reason though, if you no longer need your place please let us know as soon as you can.
Our very best regards,
The Art Bee
