During both term time and holidays we always do our best to remain flexible to the changing needs of families. The flexibility does, however, need to be balanced against our own need to arrange staff shifts, plan activities and so on. For this reason the following applies to the ‘swapping’ of days:
– Requests for swapping days must be made 2 weeks in advance
– Requests are permitted during both term time and holiday time
– The approval of requests will always be subject to availability of places – this availability may be linked to staff shifts and/or maximum numbers allowed in a particular location.
– If a request for a day swap is accompanied by a booking request for additional days in that same week it will be given priority over a straight swap.
– Swaps during half term breaks and end of term holidays can only be made within the same holiday period. (i.e. You cannot use or ‘carry over’ days from the October half term break and swap them in for alternate days during the February break.)
– Two non-field trip days cannot be swapped for two field trip days – i.e. you cannot request to only attend on field trip days and no other. Field trips are generally on a Tuesday and Thursday, but please double check with our Admissions office before making requests if you are unsure.
