FAQ

What do I need to bring - A water bottle, extra layers with warm socks, we operate in a church and it can be cold.

What should I wear - Comfortable stretchy clothes that you can easily move in and go upside down in. No zips, buckles, or jewellery as this can hurt you, others or damage the equipment.

Is the activity drop off - Yes, but parents and siblings are also welcome to stay and join in. Please be aware that siblings who intend to stay for the whole session should book in on a sibling ticket, and the focus of the session will be on the SEND child.

Where can I park - We are located in the Norwich city centre and encourage you to walk, bike, public transport here if you can. Limited paid on street parking available outside the building. Drop off is not normally a problem as it's a quiet cul-de-sac.

Is 121 support available - 121 support is possible through HAF funding if approved by the funder, but must be arranged and approved in advance.
We are a short-breaks provider.

Do you provide personal care - Our regular staff are not trained for personal care, but if approved for 121 support we can provide this if a suitably trained support worker is available.

Cancellation policy

Paid places - if you cannot attend we can move you to an alternative day or give you a refund only if you contact us at least 24hrs in advance of the class start time.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
