the late collection.

● Any parent wishing to talk to a member of staff regarding their child is very welcome to at either drop off or collection.

● Please ensure you are collecting your child/children by 3.00pm. Collection after this time means staff and must remain on the premises and therefore costs are incurred, and you will be charged.
