Term Dates: Friday 10th January- Monday 30th March 2020
There are 10 classes in the Spring Term

(There will be no classes for two weeks from Friday 10th February to account for the differing Schools'  Half terms. Classes will recommence on Friday 28th February.)

Our Ware classes are held at 'The Studio' in Ware Town Centre. The address is: The Studio,  Suckling's Yard, Church Street, Ware SG12 9EN.
Parking is unavailable in Suckling's Yard (except at weekends) so we suggest you park at Tesco (three hours free parking!) which is just a 2 minute walk from the studio. The postcode for Tesco carpark is SG12 7BX - enter via New Road and Dickenson Way.

To access 'The Studio' from Tesco, follow signs to the store front then before entering, turn left and you will see the big iron gates of Suckling's Yard on your left. As you walk in, you will see Angels at Play Nursery on your left. Our building is opposite on the far left. We are the second door from the end on the left. You will see The Phonics Fox logo on the window.

Please note, we have a "shoes off" policy in our upstairs studio. This is for health and safety reasons.

FEES FOR THE TERM:
The cost of the 10 week term for one child is £89.50. This includes the cost of all resources and photocopiables that will be provided for you to take home.


SIBLING DISCOUNT
-Siblings who are under 18 months on 1st January 2020 are free of charge but we do request that you read and adhere to our terms and conditions regarding siblings and ensure that you are looking after them at all times during the class.

-Siblings over 18 months receive a 20% discount making the cost £71.60
 (Total for two children aged 18 months or over = £161.10)

-The sibling discount only applies for siblings who are attending the same class.

If older siblings are brought to the Saturday classes, they will need to be paid for- unless this is a one-off- in which case, please just check prior to bringing them.

ALLOCATION AND CONFIRMATION OF SPACES:
FILLING IN THIS FORM DOES NOT RESERVE OR GUARANTEE YOUR SPACE
We have a limited number of spaces available in each class. We deliberately keep our class sizes small to enable the best experience for all children. Spaces are allocated on a first come first served basis as payment is made. We will endeavour to confirm your space within 48 hours of you making payment- although it most cases it will be sooner. In the unlikely event, that we overbook a class, the space would be given to the person who made payment first and you would either be offered another space or a full refund.

HOW TO MAKE PAYMENT:
Preferred payment is by BACS. When you have completed this form, please open a separate window and navigate to your own bank's website to pay via BACS to:
The Phonics Fox
Sort code: 09-01-29  
Account number: 30817306
(Please make a note of these details and ensure you are not using old bank details)
Please quote your child's first name and surname as a reference.

REFUND POLICY:
All payment is NON- REFUNDABLE except in certain rare cases where the classes might have to be cancelled by us. If classes have to be cancelled by us due to a force majeure then refunds will not be issued. For any other reason that a class might have to be cancelled by us, either another class will be added or a credit will be applied to the next term. If this happens on more than one occasion in the same term then an £8.95 refund per class (for one child) or £14.00 (for a family of two) or £12.00 (for twins) will be given.

We do not give refunds if you do not attend classes for any reason or change your mind after making payment- except in EXCEPTIONAL circumstances and this is only at our discretion.

HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY:
By enrolling in any of The Phonics Fox classes, you are agreeing to assume responsibility for overseeing the safety of ALL your children during classes. Although we try our best to provide a safe environment, we do not assume liability for the health and safety of you or your family. Please ensure that your younger children (especially if mobile!) are with you at ALL times. They are welcome to join in where appropriate but only under your direct supervision. Children should never be left unattended to explore activities without your direct supervision. Please ensure they are always within arms length of you.

All children are expected to stay in the mats area for the first part of the class as directed. Please do not allow children to explore the planned activities until it is time and they have been directed to by the teacher. It is not only disruptive to the rest of the class but it's unfair on the other children if the resources have been played with and are not in the state that was intended for them.

UPSET CHILDREN:
Children need to be happy, comfortable and have all of their needs met in order to learn. If your child / children are visibly upset and crying and you are unable to give them immediate comfort, please take them to another room in order to reassure them and calm them down- particularly if they are causing a distraction to other children.

FOOD AND DRINKS:
Unless it is food provided by us as part of the activities, no food should be consumed during classes. This is because some children may have allergies. No drinks should be consumed during classes other than water or breast feeding / bottle feeding.

If you wish to make yourself a drink or give your child a drink or a biscuit using the refreshments we make available, please do so before the class starts.

MOBILE PHONES:
Please refrain from using mobile phones during the class unless it is an emergency or to take photos of your own child. Mobile phone use can be very distracting for everyone and hinders learning. Your child requires your full attention.

Please do not take photos of another child or publish photos of another child without their parent's express consent.

USER AGREEMENT:
By attending classes, you and any of your guests are agreeing not to use any of The Phonics Fox inventions (including but not exclusively; props, lesson structures, lesson plans, lesson arrangements or other formats- even if there is some re-ordering of these structures, plans etc, methods of teaching, activities, songs, props and materials *) in schools, commercial or voluntary groups unless you have express written permission from Mrs Chloe Pullara. This expresses in writing what has always been implied, which means that any past attendance of The Phonics Fox classes or activities is equally covered by this agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by this User Agreement, you may not use or access our services.
