3. How much do sessions cost?

4. Do parents/carers attend with their child?

Our sessions are for children only.

5. My child is not eligible for free school meals, can they still attend?

Yes, sessions for this half-term running on 28/10/26 and 29/10/26 are funded by the Government’s Crisis and Resilience Fund, children can attend, regardless of free school meal eligibility, but must reside in Stoke on Trent.

6. My child has a support need and requires a 121 with staff, can they attend?

We are committed to providing a safe and positive experience for all children attending our sessions. However, at this time we are unable to provide one-to-one (1:1) support. If your child requires 1:1 support to participate safely or effectively, unfortunately they will not be able to attend these sessions. Parents or carers will not be able to remain at the session to provide this support.

It is important that all information provided during the booking process is accurate. If a child’s support needs have not been disclosed and it becomes apparent that they require support we are unable to provide, we may ask you to collect your child from the session. In these circumstances, we also reserve the right to decline future bookings for your child or any siblings until we are confident that we can safely meet their needs.

7. How do we use your data?

We collect personal information to help us understand any medical conditions, health requirements, or support needs your child may have. This enables us to provide a safe environment and, where possible, meet each child’s needs during our sessions.

We also collect parent or carer contact details so that we can get in touch quickly in the event of an emergency.

Your personal information will be treated confidentially and will only be shared with third-party organisations where required for funding purposes or where necessary to fulfil our safeguarding responsibilities or comply with legal obligations.

You can read more about how we use your data here.

8. Is there a limit for how many sessions I can book for my child?

There is no limit; you can book your child for as many sessions as you want.

9. Collection of children

All children must be collected by a recognised adult at the end of the session. Children aged 10 years and over may leave the session unaccompanied, but only if you have given your permission.

Children leaving independently are not permitted to take younger siblings home with them. Any younger siblings must be collected by a recognised adult.
