Do you operate a waiting list?
We do have a waiting list, and we may ask for a referral form

How are places allocated?
We create a bespoke package for each student. We understand some children
may only be able to cope with 2 hours a week, whereas some may be able to attend
14 hours a week (the maximum we can currently offer is 14 hours per week).
We work with the parents or carers to coordinate the most suitable time and days.

Do you provide lunch / snacks?
We do not provide any food for the students on site, but they are welcome
to bring in their own lunch, snacks and drink. We have a microwave on site
so we can heat food. We are a nut free site. This means that any food and
snacks brought in by students must be nut free.

If my child is ill or is experiencing difficulties, do I need to collect them?
We have a medical room on site, sometimes students
may just need a quiet few minutes, however if we have a concern
or the child is sick, we will contact the parent to come and collect the child
or will contact the school if they use a taxi service.
