IMPORTANT PleaseRead
This session is suitable for children who do not need one to one or additional support and can manage in a setting with a typical ratio of one supervising adult per 8 children. There was an error in the original listing - we do not provide SEND support. For their own safety, children need to stay with the group at all times. The Club will take place whatever the weather so please dress suitably. There is an indoor classroom but we are likely to spend time outside even if it is raining. Children should wear long sleeves and trousers, and sturdy shoes or boots (no shorts or sandals). They should bring a raincoat and a sun hat. Please don’t send them in expensive or precious clothing as we tend to get messy, and children occasionally misplace belongings. Valuables, including mobile phones, handheld computer games or similar are not appropriate for this natural environment. Sun cream should be applied before they get here, and they should take any medication (including for hayfever). There are many nut trees at the site, particularly hazel, so nuts are unavoidable. We are not able to give children any medicine except for sting/bite spray. If your child needs medicine during the session times, please arrange for a named adult to come and give it to them. At Naturezones, we welcome good behaviour and respect for wildlife.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

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.
