Parents may collect their children part way through a session, but payments must be made for the whole session. If children are being collected early, they will need to be based in the Nest for that particular day, to ensure other clubs are not disturbed and correct child: staff ratio.
• The names and contact details of those people able to collect each child will be recorded by the parent when setting up a booking. If there is going to be a change to the collection arrangements, parents or carers will be required to contact The Nest by email in order to report this; they will need to provide the name of the adult who will be collecting the child. Only designated adults (over 16 years) will be allowed to collect children.
