frequently asked questions

What is your refund policy?

All bookings are non-refundable. Because we keep groups very small (max. 13 children), each place is important to cover costs and ensure sessions can go ahead. If your child can’t attend, you’re welcome to gift or resell your ticket within the home-ed community.

Do children need to bring lunch or snacks?

Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Children attending full-day sessions will need to bring a packed lunch.

What should my child bring?

A water bottle, packed lunch (for full days), and clothes you don’t mind getting messy β€” plus suitable shoes for outdoor play. Slippers or indoor shoes can be helpful as well in wet weather.

What about younger children (under 4s)?

Under 4s are welcome at morning sessions with a parent or guardian staying.

Can parents stay on site?

Yes. Parents are welcome to stay, either to accompany their child, to join in, or to work on site while the session runs.

Is there parking?

Yes, parking is available on site for drop-off, pick-up, or if you’re staying.

Can siblings outside the 2–9 age range come along?

Siblings u2 are welcome as long as they stay with a parent and parents are aware that the session is not designed for children that age. Children over the age of 9 are welcome with a ticket but parents should be aware that the sessions are aimed at a younger audience.
