Treetops After School Bookings and Charges

Dear Parents and Carers,

We would like to take this opportunity to clarify our arrangements for After School Club bookings and charges.

As you know After School Club places are booked in advance, with a two week notice period to change or cancel sessions. Once a place has been reserved, that space is held specifically for your child and staffing levels are planned accordingly. As a result, charges apply for all booked sessions, regardless of whether a child attends.

This includes occasions where a child is participating in another school-based activity, such as football, a sporting event, a music club, a performance, or any other enrichment opportunity. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer deductions or refunds for these sessions, as individual spaces cannot usually be filled at short notice and staffing costs remain unchanged.

To ensure fairness and consistency for all families, we therefore ask that parents consider any other regular commitments before confirming their After School Club bookings.

The only exception to this arrangement is for children who are regular After School Club attendees, but are away on the school’s Arthog residential visit. In these circumstances, charges for the relevant sessions will be adjusted accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding and support. These arrangements help us maintain a high-quality, sustainable provision for all families who rely on our After School Club.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Flu spray

Why get your child the nasal spray flu vaccine?

Flu is a common infection in babies and children. Children under the age of 5 have one of the highest hospital admission rates for flu compared to other age groups. Flu can be a very unpleasant illness in children, causing fever, extreme tiredness, aching muscles and joints, stuffy nose, dry cough and sore throat. Children usually begin to feel better within about a week.

Complications of flu include acute bronchitis, painful ear infections and pneumonia. Some children may need to go to hospital for treatment, including intensive care.

Annual vaccination of children helps provide protection to each child and reduces the spread of flu to their families and the wider community, protecting others who are at increased risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. The flu vaccine also promotes a healthy working environment in nurseries and childcare settings by reducing the risk of flu being spread to others including staff.

Here are five reasons for getting your child vaccinated against flu:

Protect your child. The vaccine will help protect your child against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia
Protect you, your family and friends. Vaccinating your child will help protect more vulnerable friends and family
No injection needed. The nasal spray is painless and easy to have
It’s better than having flu. The nasal spray helps protect against flu, has been given to millions of children worldwide and has an excellent safety record
Avoid costs. If your child gets flu, you may have to take time off work or arrange alternative childcare

Side effects of the nasal vaccine may commonly include a runny or blocked nose, headache, tiredness and some loss of appetite. Serious side effects are uncommon.

When, where, how?

The flu vaccine is free this autumn/winter to all children aged 2 or 3 years old on 31 August 2026 (born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2024), and is available now from GPs, and, from 1^st October, some community pharmacies.

It’s a nasal spray which is painless and easy to have, and there is a non-porcine option for those who need it.
