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 £3 cash each time we are scheduled to go out on a trip.
​​
Scheduled activities - Please note that the £47 fee is for 9.5hrs childcare, not for specific activities. As we live in Scotland we will sometimes need to change the activities on the day so what you see below is a guide not a definitive list. So for example If we are due to go to the botanical gardens or a beach on Monday but its raining that day and sunshine on Wednesday we will swap the days around to ensure the days are enjoyable.
​​​
Cancellations - Cancellations 28 days or more in advance will receive a £40 refund per session. 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.
