PAYMENTS
A huge thank you to all those who have paid promptly. If you need to speak to a member of staff, in confidence concerning a payment plan, please do not hesitate to let us know.
At KIDZONE, we try to keep our costs as low as possible, but late payment of fees and constant changing of days and sessions costs money in administration time.
All monies are to be handed in to the KIDZONE team in a clearly marked envelope. It would be helpful if you could send the correct money to minimise the amount of change required in the club.
If you make payments directly into our account, please remember to use your child’s name as the reference so that the payment can be allocated against your invoice. The same applies if you use a voucher provider; always use your child’s name as the reference.
We will always try to be available to support parents/carers to cover for unforeseen or emergency situations. The setting must always know in advance if a child is attending.
Absence / missing children - Please let us know if your child is off school ill or going for tea with a friend by phoningortexting the KIDZONE mobile on 07468 565592. This is in addition to contacting School. Much time is spent tracking children down only to find that they are not attending club.
Contact & Medical details - If you change your address / mobile phone number or any of your contact details, please ensure that you inform the KIDZONE team. If your child’s medical / dietary details change, could you please ensure that the KIDZONE team are also informed.
We welcome feedback and comments, please feel free to express any ideas or concerns you may have – there is a comment box provided next to the signing in / out registers. We would be very grateful if you could fill in our questionnaire.
If youwant to speak to a member of the KIDZONE team, we are always available to discuss any matters arising.
