Frequently asked questions

Is LPF Kiddies Club a childcare provider?

LPF Kiddies Club CIC is not a child-minding service. We are an interactive out of school holiday club provision which the children can attend on their own as well as clubs where we bring the parents into their child’s learning environment. Children must be accompanied by an adult (or person over the age of 16) on all educational trips and outings unless alternative arrangements have been made for them.

Will my child/ren need equipment?

We will provide everything needed for your child/ren to take part in all our Holiday Club activities. However, if your child/ren will need any additional equipment to take part in an activity or outing we will notify you in advance. We do ask that when attending our outings that children are dressed appropriately for the weather and have on suitable footwear for walking.

Who will be looking after my child/ren?

The health and safety of all children under our care is our number one priority. All our staff are fully trained and DBS checked. A maximum of 30 children will be able to attend the Holiday club at any time except on days when we are going out on day trips. On occasions where children are accompanied by a parents or carer the number of children may be higher and each parent/ career will be responsible for the supervision of their own child. We will always maintain a ratio of 8 children under 11 per member of staff during trips.

How much will it cost?

Our Club is means tested which means our holiday club sessions are free to attend for children from low-income families in receipt of benefits or with nil recourse to public funds. Children must be registered club members to gain free places. Families will be asked to submit proof of financial status when applying for a free club place.

There is a weekly registration fees of £10 for registered club members not eligible for free club places and Non club members pay £25 per week, unless otherwise specified.

Holiday club fees must be paid no later than a week in advance, and all your required sessions for each week must be paid for in full in advance. You can book and pay for the entire holiday worth of activities at once or you can pay for a weeks’ worth of activities at a time. We only take bookings on a day-to-day basis in exceptional circumstances. Additional charges may be occurred for activities or day trips, but we always investigate the least expensive option keeping costs to a minimum.
