Terms and conditions
Travel - Prices are inclusive of any trip entrance fees, all the activities we provide and an afternoon snack. However children do need to bring their free Scottish Government Bus Pass or £2.60 cash if you book Monday 13th October at Newhaven.
​​
Scheduled activities - Please note that the fee is for 9.5 hrs childcare, not for specific activities. As we live in Scotland we will sometimes need to change the activities due to weather. So for example If we are due to go to the botanical gardens or a park on Tuesday but its raining that day and sunshine on Wednesday we will swap the days around to ensure the days are enjoyable. If we ever have to change a day which has a trip surcharge then we will refund the additional surcharge.
​​
Cancellations - Cancellations 28 days or more in advance will receive a full refund. Cancellations with under 28 days notice will not be refunded or removed from your account unless we are able to find another family to use your session and will still need to be paid for.
​​
Children should bring a pack lunch with them each day. Lunch is normally eaten between 11.30 and 12.30pm so we provide a healthy snack in the afternoon.
